Brisco Leads Warriors Past Appleman 40-7
STEPHENS CITY, VA - Markeith "Catch 29" Brisco helped kick start the Sherando offense as the junior running back found the end zone twice in the first quarter. His first touchdown came in the first few minutes of the game as Brisco ran untouched for a 34 yard score. He later found the end zone from 4 yards out to put the Warriors up 19-0 in a game that was dominated by Sherando on both sides of the ball. Brisco finished the night with 14 carriers for 114 yards and three touchdowns.
Ross Metheny was back to his old self in week two as he passed for two scores and ran for one. Metheny went 13-21 for 227 yards. If not for some penalties bringing back some huge gains, he would have easily surpassed 300 yards on the night. Late in the third quarter Metheny had a chance to show his running ability as he took an option keeper around the right side of his line for an 11 yard touchdown run putting Sherando up 40-0.
Musselman had a hard time getting much of anything going on offense as they lost the total yards battle 436 to 210. Sophomore quarterback Brandon Michael showed some signs of potential but suffered through some growing pains while going 4 for 20 for 74 yards and two interceptions. Senior Ethan French had the lone highlight for the Applemen as he ran for a 54 yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, long after Sherando's first team D had left the field.
The Warriors were without one of their captains tonight as Senior Brian Barlow sat out of tonight's action while recovering from a concussion in week one. Coach Bill Hall had ace in his sleeve in the from of senior wide out Doug Davis. The 6'3" Davis also found the end zone in the first quarter on a 6 yard touchdown pass and hauled in 6 balls for 109 yards.
Bill Hall's stout defense was led by Senior Brian Root who took an interception back 45 yards to the Applemen 4 yard line that set up Markeith Brisco's second touchdown of the evening. The Warriors were led up front by Juniors Hunter Taylor and Daniel Benoit as both young men played exceptionally well all night long.
The Warriors must travel into West Virginia next Friday night as they face a 2-0 Hedgesville team that edged out Potomac Falls 27-26 in other action in the area tonight.
