And Wallington intercepted a Bogota passing play.  Wallington was able to convert their reporting to score the first town down of the game and converted the two point try to put Bogota behind 0-8 at  the end of the first quarter. In the second quater interception by Ashanti Caviness and Andrew Miller stopped Wallington drives. The Bucs would take advantage of the second turnover and moved the ball down down the field. Thus drive was highlighted by a 44 yard touchdown pass from Mr. Miller to Franck Petraccia. On the ensuing kick-off Bogtoa would recover the on-side kick and finish the drive with a 1 yard  dive by Andrew Miller to put Bogot ahead 14- 8 after the extra point by Carlos Garcia.  The Panthers would then lose a fumble on the kick-off return.
