As with the previous 3 years, the winner in this matchup was determined in the very final moments of the game. Klein Oak loss the coin toss and Langham Creek opted to defer to the 2nd half. Klein Oak started the game with the ball but didn't keep it long. The pressure of the atmosphere was almost too much for either team to handle as they both fumbled the ball back on each of their first drives. A 21 yard TD scamper by #3 Brandon Blair followed with a 2pt conversion allowed the Panthers to take the lead 8-0 with 9:59 left in the 1st Quarter. It didn’t take long for the Lobos to answer but the PAT was blocked by a trio of Klein Oak defenders, which inevitably turns out to have huge consequences later. With 9:03 remaining in the half, Langham Creek took the lead 13-8. Pinned deep on the kickoff return, Panthers started the drive from their 9 yard line. Oak's no huddle offense enabled running and passing as Blair picked apart the Langham defense methodically. To complete the astounding drive with a 28 yard pass to #17 Connor Arneson, the Panthers would regain the lead. With 7:28 left in the half, a failed 2pt conversion would leave the Panthers in the lead 14-13. With 1:18 remaining in the first half, #35 Odessa Thurman intercepted Langham Creek’s pass to give the Panthers possession from within 26 yards of the end zone. Only :19 seconds remained in the half when Blair hands off to #6 J.T. Smith, increasing the Panthers lead 20-13 over the Lobos. Unfortunately another missed PAT caused the Panthers to miss out on points. After another Klein Oak interception, this time by #20 Chris Garcia, the Panthers had time for a quick drive. With a 33 yard TD pass from Blair to #10 Austin Davis, the Panthers scored once again. The 2pt conversion was once again successful and Klein Oak closed out the first half with a lead over the Lobos 28-13. In the start of the 3rd Quarter, Langham Creek answered quickly but on the kickoff return, J.T. Smith would run it all the way back for what was thought to be another Klein Oak touchdown. Unfortunately a 15 yard penalty caused the ball to be brought back but it didn’t take long for a toss to #18 Bryan Hines for a Panther touchdown. Finishing out the 3rd Quarter, the Panthers would lead 35-23. In the 4th Quarter, Langham Creek persevered to answer as Klein Oak dug deep to keep control of the game. After losing the lead, 6:21 remaining in the game, Panthers wasted little time and put together a drive that ended with a touchdown pass to Austin Davis. Once again, putting the Panthers on top 42-36. One penalty after another, the Panthers yard gains were quickly lost. 3:02 left in the game, the Panthers were forced to punt. Starting from their own 40 with 2:54 to go, the Lobos began a drive that would eventually lead to a Lobo touchdown and PAT allowing them to take the lead with only 39 seconds remaining in the game. Lobos lead 43-42 as their fans thought that would be the end….but Panthers don’t stop there! In their final chance to finish the game on top, Panthers started their drive from their own 34 yard line as 33 seconds remained on the clock. With the Klein Oak offense making it possible for Blair to move, the drive was brought to the 20 yard line as the Panthers called a timeout with :01 remaining on the game clock. In the final 1 second of the game, the Panthers put their fate in the feet of kicker #32 Trent Sisco who split the uprights on a 37 yard field goal as time expired to give the Panthers a victorious finish over the Langham Creek Lobos. Final score 45-43! Check out the exciting pictures from the game here!

But the two rivals remained far apart on the football field. The Panthers returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, then the Tigers scored 53 unanswered points to roll to a 53- 7 victory in their District 15-6A opener at Klein Memorial Stadium. "That's not how you want to start a football game," Collins coach Drew Svoboda said.
