Cyal Riggins returned a fumble 44 yards for a touchdown, and then Logun Tosta would run in the two-point conversion to give Burton a 15-0 lead.
Kayden Patterson followed with a pair of touchdown runs, one for eight yards (extra point missed) and the other for five yards (Fuller PAT), to give the Panthers a 28-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Frank had the run of the night with a 63-yard dash to the end zone for a touchdown in the second quarter (Fuller PAT) to put Burton up 35-0.
