The Taylorville Tornadoes fell to the Mt. Zion Braves 14-12.  The Tornadoes scored first on the road but missed the extra point.  Mt Zion would answer back with a touchdown of their own to make it 7-6 at halftime.  Mt. Zion would return a 79-yard punt return for a touchdown to make it 14-6 but a 22-yard pass to Malik Pierce would bring the Tornadoes within 2.  Taylorville would not be able to convert the two-point conversion, nor the onside kick, and the Mt. Zion Braves won the Apollo Conference Matchup 14-12.  

Quarterback Baron Odam was named the Nicole Patrick player of the game for a fantastic job on the field.  Taylorville comes home on Friday to face Mahomet in another Apollo Conference matchup at 7 PM on Friday, September 27th.
