At the very end of the first quarter, Danny Mangiarelli put Columbiana on the board with a rushing touchdown to give the Clippers a 6-0 lead heading into the second.
A Jenson Nordquist touchdown run in the second extended that lead to 14-0 after a successful two-point conversion attempt.
A 45-yard touchdown pass to John Parks put Columbiana in control midway through the second, 21-0, and took that lead into the half.

A 22-yard touchdown by Huff cut the lead to 21-12, but the two-point conversion attempt failed.
Early in the fourth, Huff scored again, this time from six yards out to cut the lead again, this time to 21-18, giving the Rockets 18 straight points to open the second half.
