G-P’s Cody Adame started the scoring with a quick rushing touchdown. Quarterback Reed Dooms had two touchdowns in the first quarter, both to Brandon Coates. Miller gave up 21 points in the first quarter, the most points they gave up in a district game all season long.
Miller started their scoring furry answering G-P’s first drive. It was fourth down inside the five yard line when quarterback Trevor Long waited patiently for Jaihum Cook to cross over the middle for the touchdown.
