FOURTH QUARTER

-- Allen had a shot to take the lead in the final minute, but Jayden Collins comes up with a game-sealing interception for Guyer. The Wildcats enter victory formation and run out the clock.

-- Allen strikes back with its first score of the night. Micah Ellis runs it in from 12 yards out to put the Eagles on the board. (Guyer, 10-7 | 2:53)

-- No block this time by Allen, as Guyer adds three points on a 37-yard field goal by Ford Stinson. (Guyer, 10-0 | 5:30)
