One minute and nine seconds later the Muncy team scored again on a 12 yard run by Aaron Messner for Muncy's second touchdown.

Two minutes and two seconds later Bill Hanes bulled in from one yard out to close out Muncy's scoring.

While the Hornets defense tightened in the second half, the Hornets got on the scoreboard with 1:35 remaining in the third quarter as quarterback Pat Coolidge completed a 10 yard touchdown pass to Shawn Tom for the Hornets' only score of the game.
