Hoover’s defense made it tough for LCC. In the second quarter after a Luis Aparicio punt put the Mavericks inside their own one Lewis Butler tackled Cade Jackson in the endzone for a safety.

The Cardinals’ posestion following the punt led to another Hoover score. It was a 29 yard TD pass from Zyair Velazquez to Dominique Whitfield that gave the Cardinals the 9-7 lead heading into halftime.

LCC owned the second half. Quarterback Duke Mackle score early in the fourth quarter on a 7 yard run. He scored again later in the quarter on a 12 yard run.
