In the second half, Eli Coble broke loose for a 55 yard touchdown run to give Broken Bow lead back with 1:35 left in the third quarter. But again the lead did not last long.

Later in the half, Ord running back Trent McCain scored his second touchdown of the game to give the Chanticleers their first lead of the game at 21-14.
