Just seconds later, Ty Sorrells stepped in front of an Athens Christian pass and returned it 35 yards for a pick-six, making the score 13-0. Jacari Huff then sprinted 41 yards after another Sorrells interception to push the score to 20-0.
Burch found his second score of the night midway through the second on an 8-yard push, giving the Tigers a 27-0 lead at halftime. Sorrells rushed in from one yard out in the third quarter, while Jace Lyle scored late in the game to get to the final score.
