The Eagles scored in the first quarter but the Falcons responded with a Ka’Devon Gross touchdown to tie the game in the second frame on a 78-yard run. The two-pointer was also added by Gross to put Lake County on top 8-6.

The Eagles answered with a score but Lake County battled back to retake the lead with another Gross touchdown and two-pointer to take a 16-14 lead into the half.
