Hills-Beaver Creek started the game with the ball. The first two plays were runs for a total of five yards. After a six-yard run by Jamin Metzger for a first down.

The two-point conversion was good, and the Patriots led 8-0 lead less than three minutes into the game.

Fertile-Beltrami’s first offensive series started with a Caleb Sather four-yard run before Gavin Aakhus found Bryer Strem for an 11-yard completion and a first down. Two plays later, Hills-Beaver Creek was called for a facemask penalty, which gave the Falcons a first down. Two plays later, the Patriots were called for another penalty, and Fertile-Beltrami had another first down to the six-yard line.
