Kolton Carlson helped Santini out on the ground, picking up 94 receiving yards and a pair of scores, while also punching in one rushing score.
Special teams also deserves some recognition, posting 11 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Brayden Faulkner, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
Laurel's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. Alex Medved was especially locked on to Summit Academy's QB and sacked him twice.
