Central Cass would threaten twice as well but Oakes would have a couple of interceptions one from Mario Garza and one late in the first half by Blayson Dolney deep in Oakes territory preventing a touchdown. Oakes would threaten on the following drive however Dolney would aim towards the endzone from deep and it would be intercepted by Peyton Lemar to prevent any score in the first half.
