Lacey threw his third touchdown pass of the game on the first play of the fourth quarter. Reggie Thompson caught it and went 44 yards for the score. Hennis Washington’s touchdown with seven minutes left in the game put Opp ahead 42-14 putting the game on ice.  Each team score another touchdown down the strech with Reggie Thompson running one in fom 41 yards out in the game’s final minute to finish off the game.  Opp won 49-20 and will advance to round two to face Gordo at home.
