Howe's first play of the game showed that the 'Dogs might have walked into the game either overconfident or very nervous.

Quarterback Brandon Wall and center Clay Marshall fumbled the snap and Edgewood recovered at their own 46. Six plays later Edgewood quarterback Trey Erwin found David Davison in the corner of the endzone for the touchdown and Howe found themselves trailing 14-0 with 8:40 left in the first stanza

Howe's next possession showed signs of life, but a costly personal foul on Howe led to a punt by Nick Wilson that went out of bounds and gave Egewood another short field. Howe's defense started pressuring Erwin and forced a punt and all looked to be back on normal Howe Bulldog track, but Tyler Grisham tried to field the punt on a hop and fumbled the ball giving it back to Edgwood at the Howe 27 yard line Moments later, Gerardo Moreno would carry the ball over from the 12 yard line and Howe, who couldn't catch a break, trailed 21-0 with 2:47 left in the first quarter

Just when things couldn't get worse, Howe drove 72 yards on 3:59 seconds, but couldn't get the last five yards as Moreno stripped the ball from Grisham to raced 95 yards uncontested to the opposite endzone With a blocked PAT, Howe trailed 27-0 with 10:51 left in the second quarter.

Howe finally finished off a great drive on their next possession which started at their own 19 yard line and finished with a 7-yard touchdown by Grisham who needed second and third efforts to get the ball across Howe cut the Edgewood lead to 27-7 with 4:55 left before half

The Bullogs defense started pressuring Erwin and Ty Portman, who recorded several sacks on the night knocked Edgewood into a punting situation which gave Howe the ball back at their own 47 yard line Desperately needing a score before the half to regain some sense of normalcy going into the locker room, Howe quickly drove the needed yardage in only 1:20 and Grisham would score from an inch out after two half the distance penalties.
