Mingo Central took the field once again once the second half started. Not long after the game resumed, James Monroe was able to get a quick goal, but the Miners answered right back with a goal of their own scored by Stacy under heavy coverage. He was able to stretch out and get the ball into the net. In the following minutes, Trent was able to get the final goal of the game for Mingo Central with a header that was assisted by Stacy. Before the game ended James Monroe was able to net one more goal and end the game with a score of 5-3 in the Maverick victory.
Mason Hatfield had 13 saves on goal. Caleb Simpkins was also able to get a save. Trent had 4 shots, Christian Joplin had 1 shot and Tyler Coleman and Stacy both had 3 shots each.
