Later on in the first half, Ratliff scored two more touchdowns on runs of three and 32 yards and Hanks scored again on a three-yard run.

In the second half, sixth grader Kaiden Robbins returned a kick 45 yards for a touchdown and Braxton Dorscher scored on runs of eight and three yards to close out scoring for Thompson Falls.
