On the ensuing possession, Wellsboro's defense would get on the scoreboard as Darryn Callahan returned an interception for a touchdown. Callahan’s kick was good bringing the score to 21-0.

In the second half, Keane would connect with Joe Brown and a long pass and Callahan would run the conversion attempt in for two.

"We stepped it up again today," said head coach Shane Mascho. "We forced three turnovers and have continued to take care of the ball on offense. Winning the turnover margin has been the key to success for us this year."
