Hege, Appleby, Mink and Savini would all receive carries on the drive, but SO Brady Trebley would connect with FR Trent Austin for a 18 yard touchdown catch to extend the lead 35-0. On the very next series for defense, SR Jackson Cornelius would come up with three of his four tackles forcing another three and out for Edgewood. After a bobbled snap by the Mustang punter, Cascade was in perfect field position. Cadets would need two plays on the back of SO Toby Savini to push the lead 42-0. The defense would keep the physicality going with SR Damien Appleby making the first two tackles of the series and forcing a long 3rd down. Edgewood Mustangs would be 0-10 on 3rd down conversions throughout the night. On the very next possession, SO Dayton Mink would break loose for a 27 yard touchdown and his 3rd touchdown of the night pushing the lead 49-0.

The Cascade offense would drive 54 yards on 6 plays, capping off with SR Damien Appleby breaking through the line for a 28 yard touchdown run. Cascade would lead at halftime 56-0. To start the second half of the game, Cascade would pull all starters out, but on the kickoff return, FR Caleb Powers would not field the ball cleanly and be tackled on the 1 yard line. Cascade would be forced to their only three and out of the night forcing a punt on their own one yard line. Edgewood would get their only two points of the night by the way of the punt team after SR Chase Durbin would snap the ball over punter FR Mason Howard’s head out the back of the end zone. On the next possession the Mustang offense would find their way into Cadets territory only for the second time on the night. Cascade defense would force a 4th and 2 and SR Damein Appleby and FR Caleb Powers would come up with the tackle for a loss and turnover on downs. Two plays later, JR Tyler Hege would get the handoff to the right side, burst through the line of scrimmage and would win the race to the end zone for a 55 yard touchdown run. 2A Cascade would go on to win Friday Night 63-2 over 4A Edgewood.
