Logan Flannery caught a 2-yard touchdown pass to put the Royals up 14-0 at the start of the fourth quarter. The Johnnies answered with a touchdown, a stop and another score but Gliadon missed the extra point to tie. The Royals went three-and-out on the ensuing drive, giving Gliadon a shot at redemption. His field goal was the longest in school history and snapped a three-game win streak for the Royals in the series. Check out Saturday's finals on the scoreboard including box scores and game recaps.
