The Bobcats scored in the first quarter after recovering a turnover at midfield. It took eight plays and Faulkner scored on a two-yard run.

Faulkner scored again in the second quarter. Comfort took advantage of another Salado fumble to take over the ball with a first and goal at the Eagle two yard line. Faulkner scored on a seven yard run, following a penalty. The PAT made the score 14-0 at the half.
