The Patriots were able to get on the board in the third quarter when quarterback Reed Jinright connected with Jade Sikes on a 13-yard touchdown pass to bring the score 33-6 where it would remain until the end of the game.

Jinright finished the game completing seven of his 19 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown.

TK Thomas led the Patriots in rushing with 62. His longest rush was 15 yards. Reed Johnson finished the night with 13 yards on 10 carries.
