Touchdowns were scored by Stetson Terpak on a pass from Robbie LaBarbara, Willie Downing also scored on a pass from Robbie, and Robbie also scored on a eight-yard run. Max Wickwrath sealed the win with an interception in the end zone with a minute and 30 left in the game.

Nationwide, this is known as the "9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs," which honors the fallen firefighters of 9/11 by climbing the equivalent of 110 flights of stairs, the height of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, to symbolically complete their heroic journey. Many events also raise awareness for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and other organizations supporting the families of fallen first responders, and sometimes feature participants wearing the names of those they are honoring.
