Hesston scored on their second drive on Friday night and, despite a 9o minute weather delay, they never looked back. The Swathers were intercepted while driving on their first possession but bounced back on their ensuing drive with a Jacob Eilert to Braden Esau 20 yard touchdown pass followed by the PAT to make it 7-0. This proved to be the story of the night as the Swathers continued to throw the ball with Eilert going 12-17 for 206 yards in the air.

In the second quarter after a deep pass from Eilert to Ben Bollinger, Eilert punched the ball in from 1 yard out to go up 14-0 following the kick. The Swathers then finished up the scoring in the first half with an Eilert 17 yard scamper to go up 20-0, PAT failed. Hesston was driving again in the third quarter when a lightning delay stopped them at the 5 yard line. Following the delay, Max Arnold scored from 5 yards out to make the score 28-0 following the 2 point PAT.

The Swathers wrapped up their scoring on the night by putting together an 81 yard scoring driving culminating in a 4-yard touchdown pass from Eilert to Bollinger in the deep corner of the end zone. The Vikings responded on the first play of their ensuing drive with a 65-yard Trey Kennedy scamper around left end for the touchdown. Raleigh Wilson punched in the 2 point PAT for the final of 35-8 Hesston.
