It was a virtuoso defensive performance by both teams as the top defenses in 4AD1 proved that defense does indeed win championship. In the lowest scoring championship game since Groesbeck beat Burnet 7-0 in 1991, Stephenville bested Kilgore 10-0 to win their 7th state title.
Hudson Butchee was named the Defensive MVP.
Trot Jordan was named the Offensive MVP.
