Bison Blanked

After a difficult five weeks on the gridiron, the winless Hurricanes football team finally put a complete game together.

Brooklyn travelled to Beachwood last Friday to take on the winless Bison. One team would have to prevail in this contest, right?

In the previous two years, the Hurricanes have defeated the Bison by scores of 35-3 and 22-7. If they could maintain this trend, it seemed likely that the Hurricanes would continue their dominance. 

The Hurricanes struck first midway through the first quarter as senior Lyle Taylor found the endzone on an 8-yard touchdown. Taylor also scored the two-point conversion to put Brooklyn up early, 8-0. 

The defenses would hold things there through the first half. Beachwood’s offense was no match for Brooklyn’s dominant defense as they held them scoreless at the break.

With both teams looking to secure their first victory of the season, who would come out on top in the final half? 

After Beachwood’s first drive stalled, sophomore quarterback Mason Vega took a shot downfield to Taylor, and after a broken tackle, Taylor took it to the house for an 87-yard touchdown. With the two-point conversion good, the Hurricanes doubled their lead to 16-0. 

Brooklyn’s defense continued to push Beachwood back, and sophomore Bentley Cox got an interception to put the ball in the red zone for the Hurricanes. With the third quarter coming to an end, the Hurricanes were threatening to score again.

The Hurricanes found the endzone to begin the fourth after a two-yard “tush push” touchdown, and with another two-point conversion, Brooklyn was pulling away, now up 24-0. 

The defense held strong to close out the game as the Hurricanes earned their first victory of the season. Not just any victory, a shutout victory.

Final Score: Brooklyn 24, Beachwood 0. 

The Hurricanes improved to 1-5 and will look to carry their momentum into the homecoming game tomorrow evening as they take on CVC rival, the Independence Blue Devils. Kickoff is at 7:00 with homecoming festivities before the game. 

Good luck, boys!
