Rich Square received first kick-off. By superior blocking and running, Rich Square made three touch-downs during the first half of the game. -Determined that this was not their best, the Hertford boys came back WHOi1' strong? and more sturdy de fense, holding Rich Square with only one touch-down during the last half of the game.
