SM West 26, Olathe South 20

The Falcons added a six-yard touchdown run from Jake Suerer later in the quarter to make things 20-14, before Brian Carpenter added a one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to tie the game. The all-important PAT was blocked, and SM West took possession of the ball, tied at 20, late in the fourth quarter. The Vikings were eventually able to score on a two-yard touchdown run from Shull with a mere seconds remaining, to claim the lead and victory.
