Adams Central had their way for the rest of the first half scoring the next 36 points of the contest in a multitude of ways, including a safety and two field goals.
The Chants struck first again in the second half with another connection between Smith and Reilly, this time for a 17-yard touchdown. The Patriots scored twice before the end of the quarter and took a commanding 50-13 lead into the fourth quarter.
