The defense got more comfortable in the second half and slowed down the Mustang rushing attack. Kayde Ramm started using his legs and arm in the second half. Ramm hit Hunter Tubbs for a big 32-yard reception and Owen Littau capped it off with a two-yard rushing touchdown. Littau had two rushing touchdowns in the second half. Ramm hit Tubbs again. This time for a touchdown and cut the lead to two. On the next SEM drive, the Bronco defense forced SEM to a fourth down play.

Two plays later, Kayde Ramm ran it for a touchdown and took the lead for the first time with 1:39 left in the game. The Bronco defense held up again and Owen Littau batted down a ball on fourth down and the Broncos offense could kneel out the clock winning their first state title in program history.
