A stout Brook Hill defense was led by linemen Mason Dickey and Bailey Franklin upfront and linebackers Malik Alley, Blake Maddox and Ryan Young.

Forced into a fourth down scenario, Weathers took the ball around the right end for 40 yards and a first down, keeping the Guard rolling. Three plays later, Weathers walked in from 2 yards out.
Michael Greening made a 10-yard scoring catch to make it 13-0 in the second quarter.
