Durand struck first, with five minutes left in the half, putting 7 points on the board.  The Homecoming 2018 brawl against Lakeville's Falcons was only starting to get interesting.  The score at the half remained Railroaders 7 Falcons 0.  

After the halftime Homecoming festivities, where Queen Madelynn Gilbert and King Jacob Sprague were crowned, and the Class of 2023 won the float contest and it was announced that the seniors captured the most spirit points, things really took off for the Railroaders.
