Tiffin started quickly, scoring on their first two drives to take an early 14-0 lead. The Panthers responded with a five-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off with a picturesque 44-yard touchdown pass from Joey Cambron to Brohns Donaldson to cut their deficit in half at 14-7.
The two teams then traded touchdowns as Cambron threw his second touchdown pass of the day, this time to Adam Hobbs for the latter's first career score to make the tally 21-14.
A pick-six right before the half by Cambron gave Tiffin all the momentum headed into the break, and the Dragons never looked back. The road team 26 unanswered points in the second half, going home with a 54-14 triumph.
