After a slow first quarter that saw the Tigers lead 7-0 at the end of the period, the two teams totaled 33 points in the second quarter. A six-yard rushing touchdown from

Caden Bosanko (San Antonio/East Central) to
Caleb Camarillo. With the reception, Camarillo became the first Bulldog since Jekovan Holmes (1,546) to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving in their TLU career, sitting at 1,092 after Thursday's contest.
