The night game of the Don Franklin Auto Bowl game had the home team Nelson County hosting Bullitt Central. This one was over very quickly with the home team going up 30-0 before Bullitt Central put up their first score as the third quarter ended.

Eli Bohannon would score the first two touchdowns, the first on an 11-yard catch on a nicely thrown ball from Paul Briney. Aiden Hunter had a two-point conversion catch after the first touchdown, then he scored a touchdown on a 9-yard John Riggins-like run.

Briney would run an option to perfection when he made the right read and scored from 15 yards out. The point-after kick from Russell Lux would make this a 30-0 game.

Bullitt Central ended the third quarter with its only score which came on a 5-yard catch from Logan Olsson. Throughout the entire contest, Central never quit nor did they hang their heads down. What they did do was give their maximum effort and play with class.

The final score came from Briney on a 19-yard quarterback run.
