Plumlee connected six times with both Dylan Block and Sloan Barret as well as two receptions by Cy Madden and Abe Estes with one catch for Alex Mills, Beck Jones, and Kaden Quandt.

Mt. Home was led by their ground attack which totaled 260 yards and three touchdowns, two of which went to lead rusher Gage Lindsey who ran for 91 yards on the night. Landon Speer added one score to give the Bombers their 21 point total.
