Just forty seconds into the second quarter, Rose once again maneuvered his way across the goal line. This time, he plunged in from a yard out to make it 17-0. Owen Worthington and the Bucs were able to score a touchdown to pull within ten, but Elijah Johnson‘s run of fifteen yards gave the Sailors a 23-6 halftime lead.
Elijah Johnson’s three-run touchdown in the opening seconds of the second half pushed the lead to twenty-three. Grand Haven was able to respond with a touchdown pass from Owen Worthington to Gideon Jones-Rikkers, a thirty-four yard strike.
In the fourth quarter, Johnson’s third touchdown was the lone score. He finished this game with sixteen carries for 126 yards and the three touchdowns to pace the offense.
