Owen Buehler picked off a pass on the opening possession of the game and raced 60 yards for an OTC touchdown.  A two-point conversion run by Tyler Christensen made it 8-0 less than two minutes into the contest.  Another Buehler interception led to a Jack Mekalson to Mason Dalluge TD pass of 22 yards, giving the Bulldogs a 14-0 lead.

Cam Nieto got the Cowboys on the board with a 25 yard TD run with just 3:03 left in the first half.  An extra point kick cut the Bulldogs lead to 14-7.  Following an OTC fumble which was recovered by Breckenridge on the 46-yard line, the Cowboys pulled even on a 3 yard run by Gavin Pederson and a second PAT kick.

In the second half Mekalson connected with Buehler on a 33-yard scoring toss and Drew Johnson scored the conversion for a 22-14 OTC lead.  They increased the lead to 28-14 on a 76 yard pass from Mekalson to Dalluge.

Breckenridge responded with an 11 yard TD run, capping a ten play, 70 yard scoring drive and a successful extra point kick to trim the Bulldogs lead to 28-21.  An 8 yard TD run by Nieto with 3:37 left made it a one point game, but the extra point try sailed wide right and OTC held on for the 28-27 victory.

Breckenridge had an outstanding rushing attack in the game as Nieto collected 122 yards on 23 carries, Pederson had 84 yards on 20 attempts, Alex Sanchez had 46 yards on 7 carries and Paul Armitage ran for 61 yards on 12 tries.  Quarterback Bailey Evans completed 6-of-9 pass attempts.  Breckenridge had 318 rushing yards and 67 yards through the air for a total of 385 yards.

Ottertail Central was led on the ground by Mason Hammer who had 39 yards on 8 attempts.  Dalluge was the receiving leader with 63 yards and Mekalson completed 6-of-10 pass attempts for 187 yards and 3 TD's.
