Buck Randall and his offense went to work in the second quarter, throwing touchdown passes to Matthew White and Harrison Cullum. Randall made an eight yard run for a touchdown; Scots went for two to make up for a missed extra point attempt on an earlier score. Jack Swaldi caught the pass in the corner of the endzone giving the Scots a 24-3 lead at halftime.The Scots came out for the second half relaxed scoring another touchdown as Buck Randall ran for six yards and Sutton Stock hit a 29 yard field goal. Crews Messer came in at quarterback for most of the fourth quarter.
Joshua wrapped up scoring after a Scots turnover gave Joshua the ball and they took advantage scoring a touchdown and extra point but it wasn’t enough as the Scots take the win with a 34-10 score over Joshua.The Scots defense force multiple fumbles, one picked up by Beckett Curtis and another by Graham Rogers.
