Then just before the end of the first quarter, USJ scored again on a short rushing touchdown. They led 14-0.
In the second quarter, USJ caught another touchdown pass to go up 21-0 with just over a minute before halftime. That was apparently too much time to give MTCS.
Eli Wilson of MTCS scored on a sixty-one yard touchdown to get MTCS on the board and cut the deficit to 21-7.
In the second half, it would be all USJ. USJ marched down the field and added to their lead with a touchdown to make it 28-7. Later in the third, they added another touchdown pass to go up 35-7.
MTCS showed a lot of heart though as they continued to play though the final whistle. They scored on a Jonathan Burns touchdown grab from Aden Hooper late in the third quarter. MTCS trailed 35-14.
The fourth quarter would see two touchdowns both by USJ to bring the score to 49-14. MTCS fought hard, but in the end fell short and they lost to USJ.
