The Royals got on the board with a three-yard TD run by QB Eric Schmidt. Brooklyn led 12-6 until Dalton Goetz rushed in from five yards out in the first minute of the fourth quarter. The Royals took a 14-12 lead when Goetz rushed in for a two-point conversion.

But Brooklyn responded by returning the kickoff for an 87-yard TD.

The Royals regained the lead with 6:52 to play when Goetz scored from a yard out. He rushed into the end zone for the two-point play and the Royals led 22-20. But Brooklyn scored on a 46-yard run to take a 28-22 lead. Blissfield drove the ball all the way down to the Brooklyn two but couldn’t score.
