The Seahawks led 20-6 at the half but McCook Central Montrose outscored BEE 30-8 in the second half to rally to beat the Seahawks 36-28 a week ago in Bridgewater.

​

The Seahawks were rolling from the start, taking the opening drive of the game right down the field and Macklen Weber ran in for a 3 yard TD to cap off a 7-play, 57 yard drive. MCM went 3-and-out on the following possession but intercepted a Holden Wollmann pass three plays later. BEE answered back with an interception of their own by Jaxx Kurtenbach and drove down to the Fighting Cougar 5 yard line when Weber fumbled at the goal line, turning the ball over to MCM. BEE's defense forced another punt and 5 plays later Wollmann found a wide open Luke Storm in the endzone for a 12 yard TD pass to take a 14-0 lead midway through the second quarter. MCM answered back with a 52 yard TD pass from Ben Wiebersick to Lane Deutsch 3 minutes later to cut the lead to 14-6. Both teams traded turnovers late in the second half and after an MCM fumble on their own 37 yard line with under 2 minutes left, the Seahawks took advantage and scored with just 10 second left in the half on a 6 yard run by Weber to make the score 20-6 at the half.

​

Things were looking good for BEE right away to start the second half as the defense forced an MCM punt, however the return was muffed and MCM recovered on the Seahawk's 38 yard line and scored 2 plays later on a 3 yard run by Deutsch to cut the lead to 20-12. BEE fumbled on the second play of the following drive and with all the momentum shifted their way, MCM scored four plays later on a 21 yard run by Deutsch to tie it up at 20. After a Seahawk punt, MCM's offense kept rolling, going 85 yards in 9 plays to score on a 2 yard run by Owen Schmidt. That gave MCM their first lead of the game at 28-20 just seconds into the final quarter. BEE answered back with an 11-play, 59 yard drive and scored on a Wollmann 1 yard run on 4th and goal to tie the game up at 28. Any momentum gained by BEE was short-lived, as just two plays later MCM scored on a 71 yard run by Deutsch to take the lead back at 36-28 with just over 4 minutes left in the game. The Seahawks offense was able to drive down to the MCM 19 yard line when a Wollmann pass intended for Weber at the goal line was intercepted by MCM. MCM was backed up on their own 1 yard line but was able to avoid a safety three straight plays and ran the clock out to secure just their second win over the Seahawks in the last 12 games.
