Winterboros Trenez Jones put the Bulldogs on the board with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Keric Merritt in the second quarter. Duncan then scored again on a five-yard run before Clay County picked up two more points minutes later with a safety.
In the third quarter, Travis Zachery added to the Clay County onslaught with a three-yard touchdown run followed by a five-yard scoring run by Duncan.
Corey McLemore added a nine-yard touchdown run to finish the scoring for the Panthers. Jones capped the scoring for Winterboro with a five-yard touchdown run with 1:57 left in the game.
Duncan finished with 108 yards and three touchdowns on nine carries. Hess piled up 101 yards and a score on nine carries.
