Patriot Oaks would receive the ball first and they came out firing. After a couple plays, the Chargers would lob a deep ball to their number one receiver (wearing #1) who would leap over a defender to make a spectacular grab, then run the rest of the way in for the touchdown. On the 2 point try, they would go right back to #1 and he’d give the Chargers an early 8-0 lead.
He’d continue to show off his play making ability, but this time, on defense. The dynamic playmaker would cut off the receiver, and come up with the huge interception and set up the Chargers with great field possession.
Early in the second quarter, Patriot Oaks would find the end zone to extend the lead, as their quarterback found their top wide receiver again for his second receiving touchdown of the night.

The Pine Island offense would continue to struggle, and Patriot Oaks would take full advantage. The Chargers would execute back to back scoring drives to close out the first half, the first touchdown being a long reception and the second being a short touchdown reception.
Despite the offensive struggles, Pine Island would managed to put points on the board before half, as they took a kickoff and returned it for a touchdown right before halftime. The score at halftime was 30-8, Patriot Oaks. The dominance would continue all through the second half, as Pine Island wouldn’t score any points in the second half.
