Colfax made several pushes before making a touchdown with six and a half minutes left in the game.

Kinch leveled the playing field with a touchdown three minutes later but took a one-point lead with a successful extra kick by senior quarterback Chase Galbreath. The Broncos were leading 7-6 when Colfax’s JJ Bodey made an 89-yard kickoff return touchdown.
