Hurricanes drop to 2-1
September 4, 2015
The Inlet Grove Hurricanes took a loss 54-6 Friday, Sept. 4 against Archbishop Edward McCarthy High School on the Mavericks’ home field west of Fort Lauderdale.
The Canes brought their defense early: McCarthy started the game with a 2-yard gain, a holding penalty, another short gain on third down followed by a punt.
The Canes took over near midfield, but couldn’t do much either.
Then the gates opened under a steady drizzle.
First a 40-yard Mavericks run set up a short run for a 2-yard score, and the conversion kick made it 7-0. McCarthy then scored on a run around the right side, and a Mavericks interception runback made the score 21-0.
Voshon Jackson opened the second quarter with a long run for the Canes’ first score, and though the extra-point attempt was blocked, the home announcer hollered “We have a ballgame.”
The score soon was 34-6 after Mavericks sophomore quarterback Quinn Dempsey’s run around the left side and a failed extra point kick. A fourth-down McCarthy touchdown pass, and failed conversion pass, made the halftime score 40-6.
The score went to 47-6 with McCarthy’s touchdown and conversion kick at 8:01 of the third quarter. The Mavericks closed out the scoring with a last touchdown.
It was a sad game but we’ll do better next time
Leeds,
great story, your writing is getting really good and your starting to pick up on the football jargon.
The next time there is an interception for a touchdown call it a “pick six”. Pick is synonymous with interception and six is the number of points that they score.
Thank you
