The varsity teams then played an overtime period, and the varsity and JV offenses attempted to gain a first down in three plays, starting from their 1-yard line.
Neither H-M-S squad scored. Hinton scored touchdowns near the end of both varsity quarters as well as the JV quarter. The Blackhawks also kicked a field goal in overtime and recorded a safety against the Hawk JV offense.
