Navarre found themself down to Walton 29-13 at the half after the Braves put up a 26-spot on the Raiders in the second quarter. Walton still led at the end of the third, 36-22, but it would be all Navarre in the fourth as they rallied for the victory.
 
Liam Miller (28-51, 422 yards, 4 TDs) and Corliss Stone (10 receptions, 219 yards, 2 TDs) led the Braves offense, but their inability to put a running game together was their downfall in the end.
