In more than one way, the clock wasn't kind to Colfax-Mingo in the Tigerhawks' Senior Night district match-up with Pella Christian.

The clock was stopped with 5:55 left in the second quarter for the first of two lightning delays that lasted more than 75 minutes. By the time the game was completed, it was well past 11 p.m. To add to Colfax-Mingo's woes, Pella Christian capitalized on nine Tigerhawk turnovers in a 58-20 rout; the last 7:45 of the game was played with a continuous clock.

Pella Christian needed very little time to get its night started, despite starting the game on defense, the visitors tallied their first seven points just 48 seconds into the game when a Jaden Van Dyke pass intended for Chad McLain was picked off by Blake Riggen at the Tigerhawk 25 and returned for a touchdown. They added a second first-quarter score seven and a half minutes later when Jeremy Visser scooped up a Van Dyke fumble, returning it 11 yards to pay dirt.
