Fairland (1-5, 1-2) amassed 580 total yards with 458 coming on the ground. Quarterback Joel Lambiotte was 4-of-4 passing for 67 yards and a touchdown while running four times for 52 yards and a score.
Seth Clay added 99 yards on seven attempts for Fairland including a score.
Gallipolis (0-6, 0-3) had 451 yards of offense with quarterback Justin McClelland 16-of-38 passing for 136 yards and three TDs and running 30 times for 149 yards.
Wyatt Sipple had 119 yards on nine tries for Gallipolis including two rushing scores and one receiving touchdown.
Fairland went up 6-0 on a 60-yard run by Lambiotte only two minutes into the game.
Gallipolis came back to tie the game on a 10-yard pass from McClelland to Cory Call. Ty Howell kicked the conversion for a 7-6 lead.
The lead was short-lived as Cunningham raced 79 yards for a touchdown with 3:33 left in the half and it was 12-7.
Chase Fisher ran 4 yards for a touchdown and Lambiotte passed 25 yards to Greg Keeney to put Fairland up 24-7 in the third quarter.
Gallipolis got within 24-13 on an 11-yard pass to Colton Campbell from McClelland with 11 seconds on the clock. But Fairland scored on its next offensive play as Clay ran 57 yards for a touchdown as time expired and Trent Baumgard’s kick made it 31-13.
Each team had three touchdowns in the fourth quarter despite turnovers.
The Dragons fumbled the ball away three times in the fourth quarter and still scored three touchdowns.
Gallipolis wasn’t much better. The Blue Devils had an interception and turned the ball over on downs three times.
Clay had the Dragons’ interception.
Cunningham pushed the lead to 37-13 on a 56-yard gallop and Reilly Sowards’ 24-yard run with 3:10 left made it 43-13.
Sipple then broke loose for a 53-yard scoring run with 1:49 left and Cunningham answered with a 45-yard run 29 seconds later.
The Blue Devils capped the scoring on a 49-yard run by Sipple with 16 seconds left.
