Grandville (5-5, 3-2 in OK Red) came out firing on the first drive as Brian Cappiello ripped of a 27-yard run on the first play of the game down to the East Kentwood (9-1, 4-1 in OK Red) 38-yard line. Two plays later the Bulldogs fumbled the snap and East Kentwood hopped on it at the 43-yard line.

The Falcons then used rushes of 15 and 11 yards from Michael Ivy to reach the Grandville 26. Next, QB Kyle Friberg hit Adam Racette for 16 yards. Just two plays later Friberg threw a quick pass out to Tristan Waters who made a tackler miss as he ran into the end zone for the 6-yard TD reception. The Falcons took a 6-0 lead after the missed PAT with 7:04 left in the 1st quarter.

Grandville's offense used a heavy dose of Nolan Meekhof to reach the 47-yard line. Brian Cappiello took a sweep 27 yards, but a holding call knocked out the play. A few plays later the Bulldogs faced a 4th and 1, but a false start made it 4th and 5 forcing Grandville to punt.

The Falcons put together another TD scoring drive that carried into the 2nd quarter after being pinned by the punt at their own 8. East Kentwood went 92 yards after Michael Ivy converted a 3rd and 5 by taking a carry 39 yards to the Grandville 48 yard line. Ivy finished off the drive with a 7-yard TD run. East Kentwood took a 14-0 lead after converting the two point conversion on a sweep around the corner to Andre Welch with 8:46 left in the half.

Grandville then used runs of 15 and 9 yards by Nolan Meekhof, and an 11 yard run by Brian Cappiello to reach Falcons' territory. The EK defense held strong on 4th and 7 as Michael Catching ran down Cappiello on a sweep stopping him a few yards shy of the 1st down.

East Kentwood was forced to punt after a three and out, but once again a Grandville turnover gave the Falcons great field position. Brian Cappiello fumbled at the 17 yard line and Stephen Keeler bounced on it for the Falcons setting up great field position for East Kentwood.

Grandville's defense stopped Ivy for just 1-yard on the first play. A couple of incomplete passes had East Kentwood settle for a 33-yard field goal from Bryce Lovelace. Lovelace nailed it giving the Falcons a 17-0 lead with 1:41 left in the half.

Grandville, trying to get on the board was stopped again by the tough EK defense as the clock ran out. East Kentwood took a 17-0 lead into the half.

After a nice kickoff return from Michael Catching to the Grandville 36, Michael Ivy left the game with an ankle injury on the second play, but was able to return. QB Kyle Friberg hit Chase Snyder on a hitch route and the Bulldogs forced him to fumble as the ball bounced down to the Grandville 9-yard line and East Kentwood's Kevin Smith fell on it. Two plays later Michael Catching ran it in for a 9-yard TD to give the Falcons a 24-0 lead with 9:52 left in the half.

Grandville responded quickly as Nolan Meekhof busted runs of 41 and 27 yards to help the Bulldogs reach the EK 11. A few plays later on 4th and 3 from the 4-yard line, Jake Garbarino capped the drive with a 4-yard TD run. Cappiello converted the 2-point conversion cutting East Kentwood's lead to 24-8 with 7:43 left in the 3rd.

The Bulldogs forced the Falcons to punt on the next drive after a Kyle Friberg pass downfield into the endzone on 3rd and 17 was just out of the reach of Kevin Smith. Grandville took over and a 63-yard run from Nolan Meekhof helped the Bulldogs reach the EK 17. A few plays later Meekhof was stopped on 4th down and 2 from the EK 9 giving the Falcons the ball with 1:21 left in the quarter.

The Falcons then covered 82 yards in two plays with a 23-yard run by Michael Ivy and a 59-yard run from Michael Catching for a TD. It was a 31-8 lead with 11:18 to go in the 4th.

Brian Cappiello and Ryan Koorndyk helped Grandville reach the EK 26 with runs of 27 and 22 yards, but a holding penalty pushed the Bulldogs into a 4th and 15 situation. Koorndyk faked the handoff and rolled right before firing back across the field to Cappiello on the sideline as he took it in for the 31-yard TD. The Bulldogs closed the gap to 31-16 after the two point conversion attempt was good.

Grandville forced a fumble on East Kentwood's next possession, but on 4th and 9 Ryan Koorndyk's pass intended for Ian Hall was too high and incomplete. East Kentwood took over with 5:15 left.
