In the second quarter, the Hurricanes managed to regain the upper hand when Grant connected with Singletary on an impressive 82-yard touchdown pass, pushing the score to 14-10 in favor of Hampton County. The game took a turn when severe weather caused a lightning delay, halting play temporarily. After the break, Hilton Head regained control, scoring and preventing any further points from the Hurricanes for the remainder of the game.
