Atlantic made a statement Friday night with a 44–7 win over Garcia. The Eagles set the tone early, recovering an onside kick and scoring in just three plays. Quarterback Pedro Martinez connected with his receivers for three first-half touchdowns, building a 26–0 halftime lead.

Atlantic extended its advantage early in the third quarter with a rushing score from No. 1 to go up 32–0. On the next Garcia drive, emotions boiled over as both teams were flagged twice for unsportsmanlike conduct. The tense sequence ended with Atlantic’s No. 2 intercepting a fourth-down pass to kill Garcia’s momentum.
