The Bulldogs scored their first touchdown of the game halfway through the first quarter on a 62-yard run by Kyle Thackerson. The extra point put Geraldine in the lead 7-0.
The Bulldogs later increased their lead after taking full advantage of a Plainview fumble. Geraldine recovered the fumble and scored on a touchdown on the first play of the Bulldog possession. The PAT would put Geraldine ahead 14-0 going into the second quarter.
Plainview later added their first points of the game deep into the second quarter. The Bear’s defense forced Geraldine into a turnover and Plainview’s Jesse Davis would later take the ball 74-yards four a touchdown, cutting Geraldine’s lead in half after the PAT.
Geraldine’s Andrew Hall would score the last touchdown of the half with just seconds remaining on a 1-yard run, putting the Bulldogs at a 21-0 lead heading into the locker rooms.
Plainview’s last touchdown of the game would come late in the fourth quarter, but Geraldine would dominate for the entire second half.
