Each team had a two-play scoring drive in the first half.
The North's quick drive came after Gregory's 80-yard TD run with 39 seconds left in the first quarter.

Austintown Fitch graduate Miles Williams, a Michigan State recruit, caught a 62-yard pass from Thom Abbott and Edwin Hood ran 11 yards for a touchdown on the next play to give the North a 14-10 lead.
The South took the lead for good two plays and seven seconds later. Gary Russell took a screen pass from Gregory 53 yards on first down, then Gregory threw a 16-yard TD pass to Grigsby to put the South ahead 17-14.
