At halftime, the score stood at 13-0 in favor of Burlington. The Broncos, however, entered the second half with renewed vigor. Key to their turnaround was the defensive play led by Griff Williams, who recovered a crucial fumble in the third quarter, paving the way for another Broncos touchdown. This play significantly shifted the momentum in favor of Union Grove.

Quinn Schultz and Quintyn Martinez each ran for two touchdowns, propelling the Broncos to their final lead. Martinez, especially, shone brightly with an astonishing 294 rushing yards, a feat he attributed to the exceptional performance of his offensive line. His acknowledgment of the line's dominance, describing them as

"men amongst boys tonight,"

Looking ahead, Union Grove, now 4-0 for the season, will next face the Wilmot Panthers during the homecoming week at Union Grove High School on September 19, 2025. The Broncos will aim to maintain their undefeated streak in this highly anticipated encounter.
