On their first drive Topeka Seaman scored their first and only touchdown. Not long after that East scored their first rushing touchdown by junior Jack Reeves. Also in the first half East had their first and only fumble of the game. The game concluded with five rushing touchdowns for East, three of those being scored by Junior Jack Reeves, two being scored by senior Nate Phillips and kicker Calvin Duske making all of five of the extra points leading to East defeating Topeka Seaman 35-7.
