DL Santana Wooten would sport the turnover chain as he would pounce on the fumble due to the presence of nose guard Amen Mackey (Palmetto Raiders) continues bull rush.  

Running back Levy Miller who's recognized as a speedster, did an excellent job pounding the ball against the Tornadoes stingy defense. Miller would rush for 45-yards in just one drive and set the raiders up to extend their 8-0 lead. However, on the next play at the Tornadoes 1-yard line QB Jalen Brown would mishandled the hand-off resulting in a fumble, which would be scoped up by defensive tackle Eddie Byrd and returned for 43-yards before Raiders' tight end Gabriel hardman chased him down. The Tornadoes didn't drop their heads trailing 8-0 during the second quarter. QB Furmin Livingston Jr. and Xavier Irving would take full advantage of the man-to-man coverage after the raiders miscue. Furmim Livingston Jr. and Xavier Irving would connect for a 36-yard score at the 5:36 mark of the second quarter, but missed the extra point.

As the Money Team couldn't put together a running game due to the raiders defensive line, which held the Money Team offense to under 25 yards rushing the entire game. 

The secondary play of the Money Team led by Christian Lowry, Andrew Johnson, and Jaylen West shut down the Raiders passing offense.   

During the start of the 4th quarter, the Tornadoes would take full advantage of the raiders with their MPR misunderstanding as the game was shortly delayed.

But, the Tornadoes would nail the extra point resulting in a 16-16 score.  Late during the 4th quarter the Tornadoes would take the lead. After three failed attempts running the ball inside the red zone at the 3-yard line. Furmin Livingston Jr. would throw an eye-catching fade route to wide receiver Jaylen West on 4th down catching the raiders off guard for a touchdown.  

The Raiders starting quarterback Jalen Brown would exit the game due to injury. Arties Knight would dig in his bag of trick plays as back-up QB Aden Davenport entered the game. The raiders double pass (touchdown throw by Robert Fulmore) would translate to a 64-yard score by wide receiver Ahmere Foster. However, flag on the play for block in the back. Foster also stood out on special teams. Quarterback Jalen Brown with less than 2-minutes remaining in the 4th quarter,  displayed phenomenal escape ability moving the chains with his legs as the Money Team appeared to send the house on nearly every play. 

However, the Money Team cornerback Christian Lowry would put the game away as he intercepted Jalen Brown hail mary pass with seconds remaining erupting the crowd. The atmosphere and game breaking plays is without question argubably the game of the year. This was simply a classic that brought out the city, as both the youth and high school football players from throughout South Florida travelled to the black hole to watch the crosstown rivalry. The Money Team is now in the driving seat of the Jr. Varsity (155lbd.) Division.
