The game started with neither team scoring in the first 12 Minutes. Near the end of the first quarter the Bucs turned the ball over to Hawthorne deep in their territory. Early in the second quarter Bogota’s Jayden Gonzalez intercepted a Bears pass and return the ball for a 17 yard Touchdown. Justin Roca converted the extra point to give the home team a 7-0 lead.
Late in the second quarter the Bucs Defense forced a fumble which was recovered by Mattew Mateo. This set-up a short drive for the Offense. This was converted into a 2 yard Touchdown run by Ryan Lewis. Mr. Roca again completed the Point After Attempt, growing the Bogota advantage to 14-0. This took place with just under a minute left in the half. Hawthorne could not cover the following kick-off and it was recovered by Derek Cabana. Just 14 seconds later Ryan Lewis connected with Jaden Carrion for a 6 yard Touchdown pass. This time the kick failed, so Bogota would go into the Locker Room with a 20-0 lead.
