Knoxville took their first drive of the game all the way down the field and reached the end zone on a 22-yard run by Nolan McClay . They then lined-up as if they were going to kick the PAT, but switched to a pass to Jacob Morris to quickly go up 8-0. Momence tied it up though before halftime. The only scoring in the 2nd half was by Momence who went on to win, 8-16.
