Michael Pender, Ben Moonen, Michael Gassert, and Alex Kenemore also contributed touchdown runs in the Rebels victory. The Rebels other touchdown came on an Adamczak to Isaac Coil scoring pass from 32 yards out.

The Agates lone touchdown came late in the third quarter when Kyler Kinn connected with Nick Johnson on a 71 yard touchdown pass. The 71 yards that the Agates gained on that played were 70% on the total yards they gained in the game. Two Harbors only managed 103 yards of total offense.
