Quincy John, Tommy Tartabini and Ben Lukasik had touchdown receptions of 58, 45 and 28 yards, respectively, for Aurora (6-0, 3-0). Lucas Manderbach and Mason Romancak added multiple touchdown runs apiece. Manderbach also had three tackles for loss, two QB hurries and a sack as the Greenmen held the Black Tigers to 62 yards, including minus-5 rushing yards.

Aaron Rumschlag scored from a yard out to tie it at 8-8 and it stayed that way going into halftime, but the Eagles (5-1, 1-0 PTC) scored 19 points in the third quarter to put the game out of reach for the Wildcats (2-4, 0-1).
