The Hawks added a punt return touchdown to take a 14-7 lead in the fourth quarter and forced Saint Stephen's into five turnovers to seal the victory. The Falcons entered the game with only one turnover all season and Fred Billy, who hadn't thrown an interception yet, was picked off three times.

Billy did, however, score two touchdowns on the ground for SSES. Saint Stephen's third touchdown came on a double pass from wide receiver Bobby Harrison to Jordon Murrell.
