Parma added another marker off of the stick of at the 12:35 mark of the first period and went into the break with a 2-0 advantage.

The Redmen continued the onslaught into the middle stanza, unleashing for five goals in the frame. Higginbotham had four of the Redmen’s goals in the second period to make his total for the day five at that point. Robert Takacs added another goal at the 12:03 mark of the period, his second of the game. Higginbotham and Takacs accounted for all seven of Parma’s goals in the first thirty minutes of action, an insane output by the two underclassmen. Westlake’s lone goal was put into the back of the net by Sam Mansour at the 8:50 mark to avoid a shutout. The two teams went into the break with Parma leading the Demons, 7-2.

The Redmen would finish off a strong showing against Westlake with a victory, defeating the Demons by a final score of 10-2. Parma moves to 1-0 in GCHSHL play and Westlake drops to 0-3 in league competition.
