After a rough first half, BEE scored on their first three possessions in the second half to blow out McCook Central/Montrose 50-6. The Seahawks led 10-6 at the half, despite muffing three punt returns that were all recovered by the Fighting Cougars.

​

BEE forced an MCM punt on the game's opening drive, however the punt bounced off a Seahawk and was recovered by MCM on BEE's 34 yard line. MCM scored 5 plays later on a 22 yard TD pass from Lane Deutsch to Mason Sabers to make the score 6-0 with 7:42 left in the opening quarter. BEE was forced to punt on the following drive and Drake Gustafson pinned MCM on their own 1 yard line. Wyatt Anderson tackled Deutsch in the endzone for a safety to make the score 6-2 with just under 4 minutes left in the 1st quarter. Both teams went 3 and out on their ensuing drives, however the Seahawks fumbled the punt return again, giving MCM the ball at midfield. BEE's defense was able to force a turnover on downs and the teams traded punts until the Seahawks were finally able to score their first TD of the night. Gustafson capped off a 6 play, 53 yard drive with a TD run from 24 yards out to give BEE their first lead of the night at 10-6, with 4:38 left in the half. It looked like the Seahawks were gaining momentum, as MCM lost 13 yards on their next 3 plays and had to punt the ball away. But, yet another fumbled punt return gave the Fighting Cougars the ball at midfield with minutes remaining. MCM drove down to the Seahawk 12 yard line, but threw an incomplete pass to turn the ball over on downs and BEE led 10-6 at the half.

​

BEE came out firing in the second half, Gustafson scored from 4 yards out to cap off a 6 play, 47 yard drive to extend the Seahawk lead to 18-6. Carson Johnson intercepted a Deutsch pass to end MCM's following drive and on the very next play Johnson ran the ball 50 yards all the way down to the 1 yard line. Gustafson plunged in for the TD on the next play to make the score 26-6 with 6:54 left in the 3rd. The Seahawks forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and recovered it on the MCM 19 yard line. After a penalty, Gustafson found a wide open Taite Klumb in the endzone for a 24 yard TD pass to make the score 34-6 with 6:31 left in the 3rd. That score held until midway through the 4th quarter when Gustafson completed a 39 yard TD pass to Klumb once again to stretch the lead to 42-6. BEE's defense capped off the scoring as Kean Stevenson intercepted a Deutsch pass on the following drive and returned it 33 yards to make the score 50-6.
