Brennan’s offense was led by UTSA Signee Ashton Dubose, who picked up two touchdowns in the first half to lead 21-0. Los Fresnos, after a rough start managed to put up a touchdown on the board as Miguel Ortiz punched in a one yard scramble into the endzone to make it 21-7 at the half. Despite a low scoring first half, Los Fresnos was able to limit Brennan to three touchdowns, as well as force key turnovers.

The second half saw Brennan jump ahead with key offense. Dubose again had a two touchdown second half with a 56 yard pass to Aaron Acevedo, then a 31 yard touchdown run. Jason Love would pick up his second touchdown run to close the door on Los Fresnos. 42-7 was the final score.
