In the championship game, Tennessee's Brentwood Brumbies dominated the Palmetto Ridge Bears of Naples, FL.  Using a multifaceted and aggressive scheme, Brentwood kept Palmetto off pace with strong offensive running by centers Reagan Daniels and Steven Reese.  Scrumhalf Seth Jones and Flyhalf Chad Edmonds demonstrated critical vision and skill, kicking into the shifting winds to find open space for the backline as they hammered out a 33-0 halftime lead. Palmetto opened the second half with a fierce attack to the Brenwood line and spent 10 minutes inside 10 meters unable to crack the line.  Brentwood capitalized on several breakaway runs with good support and some very fine conversions by Flyhalf Chad Edmonds to build their lead a win 47-0.
