Still, the Indians held their heads high and treated the game as a new season. The game was played on a cold and rainy day, yet fans still showed to cheer on their teams. The scoreboard showed 22-0 at half-time, but Turners still played hard and allowed only 13 more points In the game. Greenfield left with a surprising 35-0 victory.

The game was close throughout, with Mohawk scoring in less than a minute before half-time, and again in the last quarter. Mohawk ' s touchdowns came from a blocked punt and an interception. Not only was the game a heartbreaking loss for the players, but Coach Koldis also was injured on the sidelines.
