It was a slow start for the black and gold, as they would only garner 33 yards in offense in the first have to fall behind 21-0 at the break. Meanwhile, Tipton could almost do no wrong, scoring on all three of their first half possessions along with their opening drive in the 3rd quarter thanks to senior Calvin Condict. The All Conference running back in the Hoosier Conference would be involved in all the touchdowns for the visitors, scoring on a 3-yard run in the first, a 9-yard run in the 2nd, and a 3-yard run in the 3rd. He also connected with Landon Spiegel on a halfback pass in the 2nd quarter for a 43-yard strike. The only hiccup for the Blue Devils happened on the second drive for the Starfires as they had to punt, the Tipton receiver could not handle the punt and fumbled it back to South Adams at midfield but could do nothing with it.
