The Glenvar defense got into the act next. WR/DB 1 Cooper Mullins picked off Gaither and took it 40 yards back to the ‘house’ for the ‘pick six,’ extending Glenvar’s lead to 14-6. Mullins added to that with a 15-yard TD catch from Dawyot making it 21-6. Just before half, the Bobcats clawed their way back into the game with their own 55-yard “pick six.” Freshmen WR/DB 7 Pace Prioleau turned the trick. A failed 2-point conversion kept the lead at eight, 21-12 Highlanders at halftime.

In the second half, the Highlanders started quick once again. This time it took them only three plays for 15 Dawyot to find WR/DB 6 Jace Forster on a 41-yard scoring pass. The Junior QB is a threat to throw it or run it on every play. That connection made it 28-12.
