- Wide receiver  Kyky Austin put the Blazers on the board with a 30-yard pass reception from Hunter McEachern to make the score 9-7.

- Austin would put the Blazers on top with another 44-yard touchdown reception to give Belhaven the 14-9 edge with 14:50 to go in the second quarter

- After another LC touchdown, which gave them a 16-14 lead, Belhaven would rip off three more touchdowns with passes of 64 yards, 50 yards, and 12 yards.

- Quan Jones was on the receiving end of the 64 and 12-yard touchdown receptions from quarterback Hunter McEachern, while Kyky Austin had his third touchdown reception of the night with the 50-yard reception. Jones' 12-yard touchdown came with 1:38 left until halftime.
