Moore County 17, Wayne County 14

LYNCHBURG, Tenn. - Andrew Atwood kicked a 20-yard field goal with eight seconds to play, lifting Moore County to an upset of Wayne County in a game that was delayed by 30 minutes in the second quarter because of lightning and rain.

Moore County led 14-6 at the half and put together a seven-minute scoring drive in the fourth quarter to set up Atwood's winning field goal.

Two Wayne County turnovers led to 14 Moore County points. Two penalties also helped kill a Wayne County scoring opportunity as well.

"We're puzzled right now," Wayne County coach Rick Rice said.

Moore County took a 14-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Tyler Rice answered with touchdown runs in the second and third quarters to tie it, but the Wildcats couldn't come up with a stop on Moore County's final drive
