The Indians mounted a nice drive, getting deep into Panther territory before Colin Hunziker was stripped of the ball after a great reception and run. Palmyra took over from their own three yard line.
The Indian defense held when Palmyra tried to run on fourth and less than a yard, giving Clark County the ball at the Panther 13.
Another low snap put the Indians back at the 20- yard line, and they would end up turning the ball over on downs.
The Indians managed to turn things around in the second quarter when Konner Westercamp raced for a 28-yard touchdown. Hunziker extra-point kick was good, and the Indians took a 7-0 lead with 4:53 left in the half, and it stayed that way through halftime.
