The Blackhawks’ defenders took to the field ready to tame the Tigers. After giving up a couple of first downs, the Blackhawks started pushing back. They pushed the Tigers all the way back to the 20-yard line.
On third and 40 the Tigers landed a long pass and broke away for the game’s first touchdown. The Blackhawks held the Tigers out for the 2-point conversion.
The Blackhawks answered right back. Logan Robinson returned the Tigers kickoff 65 yards for a touchdown. Nate Samuli plowed through the line making the 2-point conversion good and putting the Blackhawks in the lead.
A kickoff and five plays later the Tigers were back on top.
The Blackhawks had a chance to tie it back up but a 65-yard touchdown run by Samuli got called back for an illegal hit. They worked their way down to the 15-yard line before coming up short on a fourth down.
The Tigers took advantage of it and put in one more touchdown before the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter Logan Maughan scored a touchdown for the Blackhawks putting them just one goal behind the Tigers. It would be the last time the Blackhawks would put points on the board.
