The next Shiner offensive possession was only one play - the touchdown pass to Boehm from Schuette to give the Comanches a 35-0 lead at the 3:24 mark of the quarter.

On the next Woodsboro possession, the Shiner pass rush forced quarterback Jordan Vega to throw the ball away while in his own end zone and the Eagles got flagged for intentional grounding to give Shiner two points.
Shiner offense did not get to take the field afterwards as Woodsboro contacted the free kick and Landen Christensen recovered the live ball and advanced it 17 yards for a Shiner touchdown to give them a 44-0 lead with three minutes left in the third.
In the second frame, Cowan had his second score, a 36-yard run at the 9:15 mark and the Comanches scored right at the end of the quarter on a 9-yard run by Jace Caddell with the two-point run no good.
Chase Malinovsky scored on a 13-yard run at the 3:45 mark of the third quarter and Stephon Bradley had a 1-yard run at the 4:20 mark of the fourth quarter with neither two-point play good.
Woodsboro got the last Shiner kickoff to the Comanche 23 and Amarian Zambezi scored on a 13-yard run with no time left on the clock with the PAT no good.
