Pontotoc takes late lead against Shannon in close game

Correction, October 2: An earlier version incorrectly called Pontotoc’s 35-32 lead a final victory and attributed that claim to game officials. It was an in-progress score. Shannon won 38-35, according to the final score posted by Pontotoc Athletics.

Kyan Roberson scored a fourth-quarter touchdown that put Pontotoc ahead 35-32 with 3:24 remaining. Pontotoc Athletics reported the touchdown in a live game update. That update did not establish the final result.

The teams exchanged leads in the fourth quarter. Pontotoc was ahead 28-26 with 9:09 remaining before Shannon moved in front 32-28 with 7:23 left. Roberson’s later touchdown restored Pontotoc’s lead, but Shannon ultimately finished ahead.
