The Eagles star tailback Anders, would bookend the quarter with touchdowns as he once again punched it in to with 4:50 remaining in the opening quarter. This time from the two yard line. The first quarter scoring wasn’t over with yet however, as it would still see plenty of action.

The Demons managed to score and cut the lead to 21-7 as the second quarter began. The lone Demon touchdown came on a flea flicker from Jacob May to Kevin Wall.
