Springfield would go on to outscore Haywood 27-0 in the second half and converted on three of the five onside kick attempts sophomore kicker Jovanni Colmenares would try over the final 24 minutes of the game. They opened the second half with an unsuccessful attempt but converted on their first with 5:02 remaining in the third quarter.
