Lake Braddock started this game off with mistakes and Westfield's defense came to play. The final score of 42-20 is really not indicative of the way the game played out.
Lake Braddock started the game off on their own 20 yard line and after a 5 yard pass and a 7 yard loss on a run, Edwards dropped back to pass and was chased by several WF defenders. He retreated to near the goal line and tried to throw the ball away while falling down, the ball was tipped, and WF's Clancy had an easy 1 yard pick six to put WF up 7-0 at the 10:23 mark of the first quarter. LB moved to the WF 13 yard line on the next possession, but Edwards was intercepted by WF's Moore on the goal line. Moore returned the ball to the WF 21, but WF failed to move the ball and punted from their own 29 yard line. The punt rolled all the way to the LB 3 yard line where it was downed. LB promptly fumbled, and WF's Gray scored on a 2 yard run to make the score 14-0 at the 6:23 mark in the first quarter. LB punted on their next possession and WF took over on their own 48 yard line. 4 plays later, WF's Bethea ripped off a 36 yard run to push the score to 21-0 with over 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter. After two LB punts sandwiched around a WF fumble, WF took over on their own 39 yard line and a few plays later Scoville hit Johnson on a 38 yard pass for a TD to put WF ahead 28-0 on the first play of the 2nd quarter. On LB's next possession they successfully converted a fake punt near midfield, with Lee taking a direct snap and running 11 yards to the WF 39 yard line, only to have LB fumble again several plays later and WF recovering on their own 25 yard line. WF failed to move the ball and punted and LB took over on their own 45 yard line. On this drive LB faced several 4th downs, converting on 4th and 5 at the WF 38 yard line the facing 4th and 4 at the WF 31 yard line, where they completed an 8 yard pass, only to have it called back for holding. Attempting to convert the 4th down again, 4th and 8 at the WF 35 yard line, the pass was incomplete. WF's next drive was quick, highlighted by a 51 yard Monticue run to the LB 15 yard line and then an 11 yard Gray run to get inside the LB 5 yard line. After a penalty on LB, Gray scored on a 2 yard run and WF led 35-0 with about 4 minutes left in the half. LB managed to quickly drive downfield on their next drive, aided by two big WF penalties. LB did make an 8 yard pass completion on 3rd down that appeared to be a TD, but it was called back for an illegal man downfield. After a sack on the next play, LB faced a 4th and 20 and the pass fell incomplete, killing the drive. Shortly after, the two teams went into the locker room with WF holding a 35-0 lead.
Needing points badly, LB recovered an onside kick to open the second half but again failed to move the ball with a failed pass on 4th and 10 from the WF 43 yard line. After WF punted, LB started their second possession of the half on their own 27 yard line. Facing yet another 4th down, 4th and 3 at the WF 41 yard line, they hit a 11 yard completion and continued downfield reaching the WF 26 yard line where they faced another 4th down, this time 4th and 17. On this play the pass fell incomplete. The end of the 3rd quarter saw the same score as halftime, 35-0 WF. WF had the ball to start the 4th quarter and Scoville quickly hit Scanlon on a 20 yard pass to extend the lead to 42-0. At this point, WF subbed liberally. Needing to score, LB began to see some success moving the ball in their spread offense, getting three TDs in the last 7+ minutes of the game, with Lee scoring on a 2 yard run, a 23 yard run, a 77 yard pass play with under a minute left for the final score of 42-20.
