Westfield opened the game with the ball first and moved from their own 26 yard line to the Centreville 1, converting a 4th and 5 along the way on a Scanlon run, with the big play of the drive being a 30 yard Scanlon to Frimpong pass to get to the Centreville 1 yard line. After a busted play and two incomplete passes, Westfield's Delaney kicked a 25 yard FG to put Westfield up 3-0 at the 9:45 mark. Then the fumble fest started, with the 3 Centreville miscues lost costing the Wildcats much more than the two Westfield lost fumbles (5 fumbles in the 1st quarter). Centreville immediately fumbled on their first possession after the FG and Westfield recovered at the Centreville 10. A few plays later Scanlon hit R. Johnson for a 15 yard TD pass and Westfield extended the lead to 10-0 at the 7:18 mark of the 1st quarter. Centreville then fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Westfield recovered in the Centreville 15 yard line. After Eckert caught a pass to get to the Centreville 5 yard line, Westfield fumbled on the 4 yard line and Centreville's Zambone picked up the ball and advanced it to the Centreville 33, where Centreville promptly fumbled on the next play and Westfield recovered the ball on the Centreville 31. After several plays, Scanlon hit Z. Johnson for a 12 yard TD after scrambling to avoid several Centreville would be tacklers and Westfield went up 17-0 with only 6:16 gone in the game. It looked like it might be a rout, but that is not what played out. Westfield certainly was advantaged by field position and Centreville mistakes at this point in the game.
After Centreville punted again, Westfield fumbled the return and Centreville's drive was still alive at the Centreville 48 yard line. They moved to the Westfield 13 yard line, where on a 4th and 2 they were stopped for a two yard loss and turned the ball back over to Westfield. Westfield punted on this possession, then Centreville put together a 45 yard drive to get to the Westfield 25 yard line where they faced another 4th down, this time 4th and 5. They executed a nice double reverse pass for a TD to Richbourg. The XP was blocked by Petrillo and the Westfield lead was cut to 17-6 with about 4:35 left in the half. The half later ended with the score 17-6.
Centreville punted on their first possession of the 2nd half and Westfield took over on their own 35 yard line. They moved downfield with the help of a 26 yard catch by Johnson and a 24 yard run by James, but then stalled and settled for a 33 yard Delaney FG to push the score to 20-6 at the 7:19 mark of the 3rd quarter. Centreville started their next possession on their own 20 and marched down the field with the drive culminating in a 6 yard TD pass from Siler to Garrett. Petrillo again blocked the XP and the score was now 20-12, Westfield, at the 4:16 mark of the 3rd quarter. At this point both offenses failed to sustain drives. Westfield did not move the ball well until the very end of the game, sometimes gaining some yardage and sometimes stalling due to penalties. Centreville had one more good scoring opportunity early in the 4th quarter, advancing to the Westfield 15 yard line where, on 4th and 5, the Centreville receiver made an excellent attempt by laying fully out to catch a pass that hit his hands but he could not control it and the pass fell incomplete. Westfield then punted after an ineffective drive, and Centreville had the ball near midfield with about 4-5 minutes left in the game. With a 4th and 7 on the Centreville 48, the Wildcats connected on an 11 yard pass to the Westfield 41 and still had a chance to tie the game, but after an incomplete pass, a penalty, and a sack they faced their final chance, a 4th and 17 at the Westfield 48 yard line. On the 4th down play the Westfield defense broke through to drop a scrambling Siler and the game was all but over. The game ended a few minutes later, 20-12, Westfield.
