Perham struck first early in the first quarter when senior quarterback Jordan Hein found the end zone on a two yard score, the kick was blocked and the Yellowjackets enjoyed a quick 6-0 lead. Hein would hit payday one more time before the quarter was over on a 54 yard sprint to the end zone and the conversion failed once again but Perham was up 12-0 at the end of the first.
The second quarter was a defensive showdown as neither team could put together a scoring drive until just under two minutes left when Ryan Boushee scored on a three yard run for the Green Wave. Perham got the ball back but could not convert so the halftime score was 12-6 in favor of the Yellowjackets.
