After throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown, tying the game in the third quarter, George hit Cohen Priebe for a 5-yard touchdown to give the lead back to the Evergreens (2-0). Gabe Golbach tacked on a field goal late to finish the scoring and give D.C. Everest the 10-point win.
