Bishop Brossart 42 Bellevue 0

In one of the only two games played on Thursday night in the Commonwealth, the Brossart Mustangs, playing without starting quarterback Jacob Leicht, and a few other key players, took care of business, handing the homestanding Bellevue Tigers a 42-0 thumping, improving to 3-0 on the young season, while the Tigers are still in search of their first season victory. 

The Tigers limited the Mustangs to a single first down on our first offensive series, forcing a punt.  They would then control the ball, moving it from their own 8 yard line to the Brossart 34 before turning the ball over on downs, eating up the remainder of the first quarter, which ended in a scoreless tie.

The Mustangs got on the board at the 6:15 mark in the second period when David Govan finished off a 68 yard drive with a 2 yard plunge, giving the visitors a 6-0 lead when the PAT was blocked.  Four minutes later we would score again as Jed Martin went on an 86 yard trophy run, and it was 14-0 when Martin converted on the 2 point conversion.

A recovery of a bad punt snap awarded the Mustangs the football at the 8 yard line, which Mason Meyer, the quarterback stand-in made short work of and the rout was on.  Again great field position (the Bellevue 12) resulted in a 3 yard Evan Orth touchdown run, and a 19 yard Mason Meyer score along with three Andrew Schwartz PATs resulted in a third quarter score of 35-0

Freshman quarterback Keegan Gulley scored his first high school varsity touchdown with 5:02 remaining in the game, sending it to a running clock, and locked in the final score of 42-0 when the PAT by Alejandro Arguelles tacked on the PAT.

Brossart returns home to the MAC for a four game home stand, with Holy Cross next Friday, Lloyd, Ludlow, and Nicholas County.
