After Radford scored in the first play of the rain-postponed game against Floyd at FCHS Monday, Buffalo quarterback Ian Berry tossed a 21-yard pass to Austin Gallimore for a second quarter touchdown and appeared ready to tie the game but the swarmng Bobcats blocked the extra-point attempt, leaving a one-point deficit.

Later in the second quarter, Bary ran 67 yards for a second Buffalo touchdown and wit the extra point gave Floyd a 13-7 at halftime.

That blocked extra point came back to haunt the Buffaloes when the Bobcats scored a second touchdown in the fourth quarter and made the extra point, giving Radford a 14-13 win for Floyd, dropping the team to a 4-2 overall record after a bye week and a postpone of the game from Friday to Monday because of heavy rains.
