The Brooklyn Hurricanes football team played against the Mapleton Mounties this past Friday. Unfortunately, the game did not go as planned as the Hurricanes suffered a home defeat by a score of 50-6.
The winless Hurricanes were looking for a fast start, but the offense struggled out of the gate, and the defense spent too much time on the field. After the first quarter, the Mounties jumped out to a 16-point, early lead which has become an uncomfortable theme for the Hurricanes this year.
The second quarter did not fare any better as the Mounties kept scoring on offense and making stops on defense.
However, one bright spot for the young Hurricanes came when quarterback Jacob Sullivan hit Areon Cowling for a 43-yard completion. This then set up a Dominic Barry two-yard touchdown run right before the half.
Unfortunately, this was the only scoring for the Hurricanes who lost by a large margin for the second week in a row.
If there is any solace, the Hurricanes blanked the Mounties in the fourth quarter, so hopefully, this little amount of confidence will blossom in practice this week as they get ready to travel to Lutheran West High School to visit the Longhorns this Friday evening.
With the weather expected to be beautiful this Friday, take a short trip out to Lutheran West and support our football team.
Go Canes!
