The fourth quarter’s punt was intercepted by #10, Schwandt. Perry gained yards and on the fourth down had only five yards to go, but the pass was called incomplete. Due to all the booing and the coaches red faces, not to mention the fact that the ball was in our players hands and not on the ground, the pass seemed complete, but the referees stuck to their call.

Defense was still fighting, but not hard enough to stop the Longhorns from gaining another touchdown. Their kick was good, which made the score Perry zero, Chisholm 13.

Perry was back on offense, but time was running thin. The Maroons fought hard for yards, but didn’t make it far enough before the final buzzer and ending the game with the final score Perry zero, Chisholm 13.
