Burns vs. East Rutherford
We're at Harrill Stadium on the campus of East Rutherford High. There's a nip in the air so we'll be seeing jackets, blankets and toboggans in the stands.
Let's stop a moment and send out best wishes to some longtime friends on the Cleveland County sports scene who've been ailing. Bill Ellis, former Crest boys basketball coach, and Barry Hambright, a familiar figure over at Gardner-Webb, have both been dealing with medical problems and we hope you'll remember them in your prayers.
On the second play from scrimmage, Burns' QB Spencer Martin completes a short throw to Brandon Whitworth in the right flats. Whitworth spins out of a tackle and zooms 77 yards down the sideline for a score to put Burns ahead. The Bulldogs miss the point after, but with 11:08 on the clock the score is ... Burns 6, East Rutherford 0
East doesn't take long striking back. Cavaliers march 67 yards in nine plays. Tyler Hamilton sweeps right end for eight yards to the end zone. Ryan Bailey's kick is good, putting East ahead 7-6 with 7:19 left in the opening quarter.
The teams exchange punts before Burns takes over at the East 42. On first down, Jonah Brooks pops off the left side, breaks a couple tackles and sails to the end zone. Bulldogs go for two but pass is incomplete. With
4:34 left in the quarter it's ... Burns 12, East 7.
