The Chargers took the opening kickoff and marched 58 yards on five plays with Ronezz Stevens taking it in from 19 yards out for the score. Sterling Reither’s extra point gave Cornerstone the early 7-0 lead.
After Meadowview answered with their own score, the Chargers would get back to business as Adrian Young would score on a 12-yard quarterback scamper. Reither’s PAT would give the Chargers a 14-7 lead.
Meadowview would answer back on their next possession with a touchdown and then recover a Charger fumble. The Cornerstone defense would then come up big as they stopped the Trojans on a goal-line stand and then Meadowview would miss a field goal. From there on out, it was all Cornerstone Christian.
Ronezz Stevens would get his second touchdown of the night on a 22-yard touchdown run and B.J. Smith would add a 17-yard touchdown run as Cornerstone would extend their lead to 27-13 with eight minutes remaining in the half.
