Tubbs finally had a normal kickoff and Noah Heltzel made Portage pay. Heltzel fielded the ball on his own 15 and raced all the way across the field before going down the left sideline for an 85 yard touchdown. Both teams were stopped on fourth down attempts before Portage would score just before the half. Claar scored his second with seconds to go in the half.
It was 29-7 at the half.
