Eric Shaw Jr. scored on a two point conversion in overtime to give Lafayette a 22-21 victory over Scott County.  Scott County held a 14-7 lead late in the game but Lafayette tied the score on a 11 yard pass from Brett Durbin to Nick Fergerson for a TD and a conversion kick by Matt Green with 2:01 left in regulation.  Scott County attempted a 49 yard field goal by Jay Willmott on the last play of regulation but the muddy, wet field conditions made it extremely difficult and the kick failed.

Scott County got the ball first in overtime and took a 21-14 lead on a 4 yard TD run and a conversion kick by Willmott.  Lafayette answered with an 11 yard scoring strike from Durbin to Fergerson.  After a timeout Eric Shaw Jr. took a direct snap and ran it in for the winning two point conversion play.  Turnovers were the key tonight as the normally almost mistake free Cardinals lost three fumbles tonight and had one pass intercepted.
