With under five minutes left in the second quarter, Carter scored a touchdown on the Eagles, making the score 25-7 at the half.

“The rain made it pretty slippery running around everywhere,” McKinney said.

During halftime, the homecoming princes, princesses, and king and queen nominees were recognized; the 2015 Homecoming King and Queen were announced. The king was Tanner Boyzuick, and the queen was Claire Despain.

In the second half, McCook scored another touchdown with three minutes left in the third quarter, making the score 49-7. Possession of the ball went back and forth between the two teams without scoring. The third quarter ended with the Eagles maintaining a 49-7 lead.
