Bigham ran for the two-point PAT to push the margin to 14-0.

A three-yard blast from Jerrell Holmes with under 20 seconds left before halftime added to lead.

Brandon George booted the PAT kick to put Du Quoin ahead 21-0.

Bigham finished the scoring with runs of four and 34 yards to finish the scoring as George added two more kicks.

Holmes ran for 106 yards and Bigham added 104 more. Bigham's three pass completions totalled 60 yards to Williams (two catches, 48 yards) and Chaz Bland (12 yards).

Kenny Kabat recovered two fumbles, recorded one quarterback sack and had 11 tackles to pace the defense.

Will Alstat added a fumble pick-up and seven tackles.
