After Honesdale put the first points on the board, Dunmore scored on their first offensive play of the game on their way to 56 unanswered points as they defeated the Hornets 63-11. Dunmore RB Weston Yannone had 3 TD runs and FB Xavier Burke had a TD run along with 2 TD receptions and an interception return for another score.
Dunmore won the toss and deferred. Honesdale took the opening kickoff and had a very methodical drive that ended in a 30-yard field goal from K Alex Valerio to put the Hornets up 3-0 with 3:23 left in the first quarter.
