The Tigers tacked on a 49-yard TD pass from Brody Wortham to Tre' Terrell in the second quarter and Hillcrest responded with a 66-yard TD connection from Nettles to Brandon Rudolph, but the Jags still trailed at the half 14-13.

Nettles, who completed 15-of-24 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns, directed two more scoring drives in the second half with running back Andray Pope scoring on a 2-yard run and a dazzling 71-yard run, and the Hillcrest defense did the rest.
