In the second half it was more of the same for Rogersville moving the ball up the field with a read-option style offense. They found the end zone again in the 3rd quarter on another keeper from the QB which was setup by a 30-yard pass up the sideline marked down at the 1 yard line.
The Huskies tried to get the ball moving again in the fourth quarter with a first down pass connection when Matthew Boyd hit Thomas Darnell down the sideline for a big gain, but the drive stalled out from there.
