Tyler England would find the end zone on a 29-yard pass from Wright at 1:04 for the only score of the second quarter…26-0 Navarre at the half.
 
Chris Williams (13-yard run) and Josh Carter (3-yard run) extended the lead to 40-0 by the end of the third quarter, so there would be a running clock in the fourth quarter.
 
The Dolphins would score two late touchdowns in the fourth quarter as Tyler Dittmer scored on a 34-yard run at 2:28 and Nic Deweese hauled in a 28-yard reception from Cooper Harris as time expired.
