In the first quarter, Winfield scored a quick touchdown with eight minutes left to make the score 6-0.  Duan McRoberts quickly responded to tie up the score 6-6. Extra point attempts for both teams were no good.  

Less than three minutes later, McRoberts recorded another touchdown and Kaleb McCory tallied on the extra point. Winfield scored another touchdown late in the quarter and completed a two-point conversion. Winfield led 14-13 at the end of the quarter. 

Towards the end of the second quarter, McRoberts was handed the ball and as he was running into the endzone, Winfield forced a fumble. However, Omar Ghannoum picked it up in the endzone for a touchdown. 

The Wildcats led 19-14 going into halftime. After halftime, the Wildcats came back on the field and shut Winfield down. 

Twelve seconds into the third quarter after Winfield kicked it off, Lavarious Green caught the ball and returned it all the way for a touchdown, making the score 25-14. 

With less than nine minutes left, Quinn Schnarre tacked on another touchdown for the Wildcats.

At the four minute mark, Winfield recorded another touchdown, but their two point conversion attempt was no good.
