The game was much closer than the final score would indicate, as the Bulldogs twice had chances in the fourth quarter to tie the game up, but couldn't come up with the points to do so.
Ronan came out fast, going 80 yards in just three plays, capped off by a Jake Humphreys touchdown run for a quick 7-0 lead.
That's all the scoring there would be until close to halftime when the Chiefs punched it in again for a 14-0 edge.
The Bulldogs used a long kickoff return by Raymond Matt to set up good field position en route to a Dylan Evans 5-yard score to cut the deficit to 8.
Ronan immediately responded thanks to a ridiculous 95-yard touchdown run by Humphreys to retake the 14-point lead.
Mission kept plugging away, however, and their determination paid off when Dakota Gun Hammer bounced into the end zone from 5 yards out to get within 20-12.
In the fourth, the Bulldogs made a pair of stops on Ronan's run attack, but couldn't make a third, as Robbie Gauthier scored on a 2-yard run to boost the lead to 27-12. The Chiefs, after forcing a fumble, added insurance when Jake Skelton put the finishing touches on the victory with a touchdown run for the final points.
Ronan enters the playoffs next weekend with some momentum, while the Bulldogs hard-fought season came to an end.
