The game opened with the Dover Eagles receiving the ball first.  Dover was unable to move the ball into scoring position and had to punt.  The South Western Mustangs scored on their initial drive on a touchdown run by Senior Zac Scott making the score South Western 7 Dover 0.

Dover had to punt again on the following possession.  On South Westernʼs next drive junior quarterback Ian Smith came in to replace injured quarterback David Sager.  Smith had a nice run on 4th and about 3 yards for a first down to set up a touch down run by junior fullback J.R. Mummert.  The score was now Mustangs 24 Eagles 0. 

On Doverʼs next opportunity with the ball, senior running back Vaughn Hebron had a great run taking the ball from Doverʼs 20 all the way to the South Western 22-yard line.  A pass from Ferry to senior receiver Andy Wolfgang set up a six-yard TD run by Hebron putting Dover on the board for the first time making the score Mustangs 24 Eagles 7.
