Red Level’s defense took the field and Jaden Poindexter came up with a massive hit on a Brewton ball carrier on the first play from scrimmage.

Skylar Sanders then made a big tackle for Red Level, but a few plays later Brewton quarterback Nathan Commander connected with Langley Folsom for a long touchdown. Brewton’s Elijah Suarez attempted the extra-point, but came up just short.

Despite some success moving the ball, Red Level was forced to punt the ball away again.

However, on the next play Commander found Folsom for a long gain and Brewton first down.

A few plays later, Miles Johnson powered in from 7 yards out to put Brewton on top 12-0.

Poindexter got the next Red Level series started with a 24-yard gain on the ground, but a fumble a few plays later ended the drive.
