MSD trailed early after allowing a touchdown on the opening kickoff, then tied the score on a touchdown run by Chase Pavlish. Forest Hill scored twice more before Anthony Diaz broke free for a long touchdown to cut the deficit to seven.
Keegan Lake scored on the opening drive of the second half, and a safety gave the Eagles a 22-21 lead. Forest Hill answered with a touchdown and a two-point conversion to retake the lead. MSD got a late touchdown on a long run by Diaz, but it was not enough.
