The Brooklyn Hurricanes hosted the Cuyahoga Heights Red Wolves for their homecoming game last Friday. The Canes were looking to bounce back after a 48-7 loss to Hawken in the previous week, but the visitors had other plans.
The Red Wolves came in with an undefeated record at 5-0, while the Canes (3-3) were looking to get back above .500.
Early on, the Red Wolves jumped out to an early 7-0 lead within the first minute, thanks to a 55-yard touchdown pass. Brooklyn could not match them on offense, as Cuyahoga Heights got the ball back and scored another touchdown with two minutes remaining in the first quarter.
After one, the Red Wolves led the Hurricanes 14-0.
In the second quarter, the Red Wolves did not slow down, continuing to put pressure on the homecoming hosts. Brooklyn struggled to find answers on defense (missed assignments and broken plays) and offense (turnovers). The Red Wolves scored two more touchdowns in the quarter and kicked a field goal. With that, they increased their lead to 31-0 as halftime began.
Needing a third quarter spark, the Hurricanes hoped that they could gain some momentum to fight and claw their way back into this contest in front of a tremendous crowd. However, the Hurricanes still could not score or find any offensive rhythm, but the defense picked up some stops and prevented the Red Wolves from scoring in the third quarter.
In the fourth and final quarter, the Hurricanes continued to play solid defense against the Red Wolves as they were blanked in the second half. The same can be stated about the Red Wolves’ defense as they held the Hurricanes scoreless for the entire game.
Final score: Cuyahoga Heights 31, Brooklyn 0
“We just made a lot of mistakes, and Cuyahoga Heights capitalized on all of them,” said assistant coach Max Logterman.
