Bronco wide receiver Deshun Green also snared a score with a post pattern that Green found green space and sprinted to the end zone. Jordan Avellino scored off a long pass that was a solid rebound from Stewart who was nearly intercepted on the previous play as Middleburg scored three quick touchdowns in just two series of 10 plays.

Swing passes to Mason Zwilling got Avellino open for solid gains with Williams finishing the job on a quick slant inside the 10.
On defense, Middleburg defensive back Joel Lowe had a great position on a post pattern but only wrestled the ball away from the Tocoi wideout. Defensive back Floyd Reed did wrestle away and capture an end zone pass attempt to stop a Tocoi touchdown attempt.
