Altimus then found Cole Seslar on a 20-yard touchdown pass and wrapped up the first quarter scoring with a 51-yard reception for a score by Luke Brewer that made it 28-0 Archers.

Antwerp added a pair of scores in the second quarter, getting a six-yard pass from Altimus to Schuette to extend the lead to 35-0. Brewer then picked up the final touchdown of the night on a 14-yard run and set the final score at 42-0.

Altimus finished the night 15 of 18 passing for 270 with five touchdown passes.
