Gaven Strines completed a 35 yard pass to Anthony Davanzo at midfield. GMS continued to move the ball and connected on a pass from Strines to Davanzo to reach the Center one yard line as time expired.
      In overtime, GM took the ball on the opening possession and Gaven Strines hit Anthony Davanzo on a beautiful 20 yard touchdown throw. Sean Birchfield then capped off the possession with a hard charging two-point conversion that put GM up 8-0.
      Center responded with a touchdown of their own, scored by Austin Barone, but the GM defense held and stopped Center two yards short of the goal line on the extra point to seal the victory.
