Although the Center Roughriders lost to the Gladewater Bears, the game was a hard fought battle with the Roughrider defense holding the Bears to only two touchdowns and a field goal. The score was 0-0 until 9:18 in the second quarter and the Bears were the first to score a touchdown. Several plays later the Bears have possession but fumble the ball and the Riders recover placing them within scoring range. The Bears defense remains a problem and the Riders fail to get into the end zone. With 5:54 in the second quarter, Center makes a field goal attempt and its good bringing the score to Center 3 and Gladewater 7. Gladewater manages to score again as the clock runs out for the first half for a score of 3-14. The Bears kick a field goal with 3:39 left in the game for the final score of 3-17.
