Indians struck first at the end of the first quarter with a successful 27 yard field goal by Juan Andrade to put the Indians on the board 3-0.

Gilmer and Murray’s defense were causing fits for the personnel on the offensive side of the ball where they traded three and outs multiple times. With 7:24 on the clock, Murray’s running back, Tucker Gregg, broke multiple tackles to scamper in for a 36 yard touchdown to put the Indians back on the board. The PAT from Andrade went through the uprights to give the Indians a 10-0 lead.

After the touchdown, the heat continued on both ends of the field. Gilmer and Murray’s defense held strong, protecting their end zones through dominating defense to keep the other team from scoring before the first half was over.
