The first quarter was dominated by the Olmsted Falls Bulldogs as they were able to drive down the field effortlessly capping off the first drive with a 47-yard touchdown quarterback keeper by #9 Jimmy Rosol. The Bulldog defense would then introduce themselves with #2 Logan Connelly intercepting the ball and bringing it all the way back to the 2-yardline.

On that punt #2 Connelly returned it almost all the way but was pushed out at the 11-yardline. Quarterback #9 Rosol would punch it in on a 4-yard quarterback keeper.
The second quarter slowed down a bit. The Bulldogs got the ball back after a Pioneer punt and score on a 24-yard touchdown pass to #2 Connelly.
