Last year’s game was a barn burner and this year was no different. Dale came out strong in the first half and scored early on a 36 yard drive for the first touchdown of the game. LC Bird continued trying to move the ball forward in the first quarter but, Skyhawk fans began to wonder if their team came to play. Both teams left the field at half time with Dale leading.
