NewCath defense played really well at Holmes, shutting down the Bulldogs playmakers. Lead by 3 Senior LB’s who are currently 1, 2, & 3 on the team in tackles. Holmes only points came from a blocked punt inside the Breds 5 which was picked up in the endzone. They will be tested again this week at Roger Bacon. 
 

The young Breds offense had some signs of life, but will need to continue to improve. Holmes brought the pressure all night, sending 6, 7, & sometimes 8 guys. Sophomore QB Smith improved from week 1 to week 2 and extended plays when needed on the final drive moving for 80 yards & the go ahead score.   Junior WR Landrum came up with a few clutch catches to keep the drive alive including a 4 & 17. 

They aren’t where they want to be yet, but after Roger Bacon they have a stretch of very competitive games against similar size schools leading up to and through districts play.
