Lake Gibson would score in the third on a 5-yard run by Kevaris Thomas and converted the two-point conversion to take a 15-7 lead heading to the fourth. Travell Jones would take over in the fourth with three rushing touchdowns. The Raiders final score would be a 75-yard kickoff return from Dante Wright.
