Linden, who only dressed 17 players started off with a lot of energy and that showed a lot when BrynDavion Haynes sprinted for 16 yards. the momentum would not last long because Martevion Hawkins teamed up with Ben Paugh to stop Travis Foster for a 7 yard loss. After getting the ball back the Braves (2-2) would need just four plays to go 49 yards to score again. After the PAT the score was 14-0, with 5:40 left in the opening quarter. The rest of the quarter belonged to the Braves. Elijah Rhein-Murray would stop Foster for a short loss, then a bad snap from center caused Kendrix Wilson to chase the ball and lose a lot of yards. Then with just 9 seconds left on the clock another bad snap again cause a big loss by Wilson.
