Orland got the ball under a minute to go in the game, and converted the game winning field goal to take the 16-14 lead. 

Quarterback Cameron Carr continued to dazzle on the field in the air and on the ground, throwing for over 70 yards with one touchdown pass to Shay Carr for 45-yards. Cameron Carr also ran for 35 yards and a score. Running back, Arden Anderson, was back in action after missing time due to injury.
