In game one the Bulldogs pulled away from the Greensburg Pirates in the early part of the 2nd half by using stifling defense and excellent passing to go on a 16-2 run and win going away 42-17. Brayden Maple led the squad in scoring with 13, William Kuisel 8, Cayden Drake 6, Caleb Mohr 5, Landon Raver 4, Lincoln Garrett 4 and Owen Enneking 2.
