Roundup's defense could not keep up with Joliet's 387 total rushing yards. Roundup did best Joliet in total passing yards, however, most of their 143 yards came on a 91 yard receiving touchdown in the third quarter.

Joliet's defense also gave Roundup little chance to make a comeback. Two interceptions by Senior AJ Kananen and one by Senior Kaden Juhnke, ensured Joliet's total dominance on both sides of the ball.
