LaRue jumped ahead 14-0 early in the second quarter before Glasgow scored on a 45-yard pass play from Landen Holley to Jaylen Bradley. Daniel Rodriguez added the extra point.
The Scotties forced a fumble on the Hawks’ next drive, and Jaithan Franklin recovered the ball at the Glasgow 39.

The Hawks took the lead for good with 31 seconds left in the third period on a two-yard quarterback run. The extra-point kick was wide left.
The Scotties’ next drive ended with an interception, and that set up a 23-yard touchdown run two minutes later by the Hawks. Glasgow stopped the two-point conversion, and LaRue led 33-21 with 8:14 left in the game.
