The next Winton Woods scoring drive was setup on the Elder 41 when Malcolm Bryant blocked a punt with just over 10 minutes left in the game. Williams found the endzone on a 20-yard run for his 23rd touchdown on the season.
The game was put out of reach after Tyquan Fleming intercepted an Elder pass in the endzone to end any type of momentum the Panthers had left. After the interception, Wingfield broke a 30-yard run with three minutes left to give the Warriors an 18-point lead and the win.
