Northside answered back with a 11 yard TD reception by Justin Bernam from Glenn Smith at the 9:54 mark of the second quarter. Rivera’s PAT pushed the lead up to 21-6. Two and a half minutes later, Westside scored on a 28 yard pass play to cut the lead to 21-12 after another failed kick. The Eagles again answered by the end of the half with their own TD pass when Smith hooked up with Charlton Lane on a beautiful 17 yard throw and catch. The Rivera kick made the halftime score 28-12 in favor of the Eagles.

With 5 minutes gone in the third, Martin scored his second rushing touchdown of the night – this time on an 11 yard run. The PAT by Rivera made the score 35-12. Donte Bryant finished the Eagle scoring on the night with 1:44 left in the third quarter when he scored on a 12 yard run. Rivera’s final PAT made the score 42-12.
