Bailey Stadium.The defenses controlled most of the first quarter, neither team was able to put together a sustained drive. Mt. Pleasant took the lead early in the 2nd quarter when Zack Cook scored on a 2 yard touchdown run. That touchdown was setup after a high snap sailed over Concord punter Brandon Barnhardt and the Tigers recovered at the Spider's two yard line. Later in the 2nd Concord would tie the score on a 28 yard touchdown pass from B.J. Beecher to Jacquise Moore. That drive was setup by a Bradley Phillips interception.The Spider defense held the Tigers on the next possession. Concord would drive into Tiger territory just before halftime but the drive stalled and Barnhardt missed a 31 yard field goal to end the first half with a 7-7 tie. Concord took the opening kickoff in the second half and drove straight down the field. After an apparent touchdown was called back due to a penalty the Spiders drive ended as Brandon Barnhardt's field goal attempt sailed wide right.
