The Geneva Golden Tornadoes and the Westminster Titans added another chapter in their rivalry. The game started out looking like it was going to be a good one after both teams scored on their first drive of the game. But, after that the Titans began to control the game, it started when the Golden Tornadoes fumbled on their side of the field and the Titans went and scored. The Titans took a commanding lead into the half up 45-7, despite the score the Golden Tornadoes did not stop fighting.
