It started with a 5-yard pass from Gannon Jacobson to Evan Watkins that put Southeast up 8-6.
Following a pooched kickoff recovery, Jacobson and Tucker Thaxton connected for two more Southeast touchdowns before halftime.
The first of those scores came from 30 yards out and second one, from the 10-yard line, was set up by a Kanyon Douglas interception.
Amarion Holub added an insurance score for Southeast on a 23-yard scamper to make the score 32-6 late.
