The Lumberjacks got out to a quick start, scoring on a 38 yard run by Andre Peters to go up 6-0. North Branch responded with a 37 yard touchdown run of their own by Conner Hartmann, tying the game at 6-6.

The Lumberjacks would go up 14-6 before the first quarter ended on a 18 yard run from Markus Pokornowski.

North Branch would then pitch a shutout in the second half, while scoring on a 12 yard run from Eric Nadeu and a three yard run from Hartmann to secure the 18-14 victory.
