The Elks continued their dominance right out of the gates from halftime, as junior running back Chance Jones returned a kick 70 yards down field for a touchdown to take a 44-6 lead with about 11 minutes left in the third quarter. Junior Chad Graham cut through to the end zone for the two-point conversion, giving the Elks the 46-6 advantage. Yellville answered back quickly, scoring a touch down with about 9 minutes left in the game. The touchdown was the last of the game by either team.
