The two teams played strong defense and fought for field position in the first quarter. with Raymond Dixon, Ethan Ortiz,and Jayson McGhee leading the way for the Purple Wave.
In the 2nd quarter Mekhi Benjamin dropped back and threw a 70 yard touchdown to Mahaj Everett for the opening score. The Purple Wave would miss the extar point run but would hold onto the 6-0 lead until halftime.
The teams battled into the fourth quarter with the Purple Wave holding the Hornets. Then with four minutes left in the game the Hornets broke a 55 yard touchdown to tie the score at 6-6.
Mahaj Everett would then make an outstanding tackle chasing and tackling the Hornet runner at the pylon, but the call was a good and the Hornets lead 7-6.
Undaunted, the Purple Wave began their comeback when Raymond Dixon broke a long run to the Hornet 20 yard line. But a holding call on the play reversed the gain and the clock ran out.
Congratulations to the Purple Wave on an outstanding season and fighting until the end.
