WRV struck again on their next possession moving 51 yards and capping the drive with a 12-yard run by Eric Bland.

Bland padded the lead in the second quarter on another long drive by the WRV offense. This time his one yard trip wrapped up another 51-yard march.

The Wolverines weren't through yet as they took advantage of a Bloomfield fumble and once again march down the field to pay dirt.

This time it was a 55-yard parade that ended when Harmon crossed the goal line for the second time.

Bloomfield's best moment of the game came in the second half when they were able to stop what appeared to another long drive by the Wolverines.

After WRV had moved the ball within the shadows of the Cardinals' goal post, Brandon Haug picked up a loose football and dashed 99 yards for the score. It would be the Cardinals final tally of the game.

The next contest of the day saw the 12U squads face off. When it was over WRV had collected a 20-12 win.

Bloomfield got on the scoreboard first when Andrew Medcalf connected with Jonathan Krzesniak for a 95 yard scoring strike.
