With 8:00 on the clock in the third quarter, Reger scored on a QB keeper, and then made a two-point conversion with a pass to AJ Stockwell to tie the game at 15 apiece.

Eastview broke the tie with a running touchdown by Eric Krupke in the third quarter, and with 1:11 on the clock in the third, Eastview blocked a Blaze punt and scored a touchdown a few plays later.

But the Blaze started their comeback in the fourth quarter with a Dan Motl running touchdown with 10:48 on the clock, and they scored again to tie the game with 6:41 left.

With only 1:15 left on the clock in the 4th quarter, the Blaze scored on a pass to running back Jalen Dyson to win the game.
