The weather hampered both teams and it caused a lot of mistakes in the first half, but in the second half Lake Braddock solved the Westfield defense, while WF failed to convert several 4th downs in LB territory and LB pulled away for a very solid 26-7 win.
Note: I don't have rosters so in some cases I will only reference player numbers for those players whose names I don't know or did not hear on the PA system.
Westfield took the opening KO and fumbled the ball out of bounds at the 3 yard line to put themselves in an early hole. After three unsuccessful plays WF punted and LB took over on the LB 31 yard line. LB drove into WF territory where the drive stalled and LB's #16 kicked a 36 yard FG to put LB on top 3-0 at the 6:40 mark of the first quarter. WF then drove 65 yards, highlighted by a 54 yard Legall TD run, to go on top 7-3 (Williams XP) with 5:06 remaining in the first quarter. LB took the KO and started their next drive at their own 18 yard line, moving to the WF 45 where they faced a 4th and 2, which Edwards converted with a 4 yard run to keep the drive alive. A few plays later LB again stalled and #16 kicked his second FG, this time a 29 yarder, and LB cut the lead to 7-6 with 10:30 remaining in the half. WF had a penalty on the ensuing KO and a solid return was nullified, pushing them back to their own 8 yard line. They did manage to march about 50 yards when Toveil hit a wide open Richards across the middle, but Richards took just two steps on the way to a sure TD and the ball popped out, with LB recovering on their own 25 yard line. LB then went to work and as they neared midfield Edwards found LB WR #1 behind the WF defense and he caught a long pass. But just inches short of the goal line he fumbled the ball into the end zone when WF's McClain tackled him from behind. It was questionable whether or not he crossed the goal line, but the official said no and WF's McClain recovered the ball for a touchback. WF, starting on their own 20, then moved down field and faced a 4th and 7 at the LB 37 yard line. Toveil found St Germain over the middle, but the completed pass was about a foot short and LB took over at the LB 31. Time ran out and the teams went to the end zones for halftime with WF leading, 7-6.
LB received the second half KO and LB's Corey ripped off a 70-75 yard KO return to put LB ahead 12-7 (2XP pass attempt knocked down by WF's Richards) at the 11:47 mark of the third quarter. WF took the LB KO to the WF 27 yard line and started to move downfield to the LB 37 yard line where they faced a 4th and short. WF's RB Keys ran up the middle for two yards and the drive stayed alive until WF faced another 4th down at the LB 15, this time 4th and 8 but Toveil's pass fell incomplete. LB then took over and went three and out to punt the ball back to WF at the WF 39 yard line. WF stalled again on this drive, facing a 4th and 6 at the LB 25, and Toveil's pass was again incomplete. LB then put together a 75 yard scoring drive capped by a 44 yard TD run by LB's Edwards to go up comfortably at 19-7 (#16 XP) with just 8:33 to play. WF started their next drive on their own 20 after the KO went for a touchback, and Toveil was eventually picked off by LB's Cousins at the LB 35 to kill another WF drive. LB then drove 65 yards, with LB's Minor getting a 34 yard TD run around the left side to seal the game, 26-7 (#16 XP) with 3:03 remaining. On WF's next drive they moved to near midfield when a bad snap cost them almost 15 yards and put them back inside their own 40 yard line. Two plays later, Corey intercepted Toveil at the LB 41 when WF went for it on 4th and long. LB then went into their victory formation and ran out the clock for the win.
