Football Caps Homecoming with Big Victory

The sun came out unexpectedly during pre-game warmups on Saturday, setting the stage for the Brunswick football team’s convincing 34-14 Homecoming victory over Cheshire Academy.

After trading unproductive opening drives, the Bruins capitalized on great field position on first down when Danny Lauter hit Ashton Winegardner on a 33-yard scoring strike, the first of two connections the pair would have on the day. Lauter found the speedy Winegardner again in the second quarter on a 57-yard flea-flicker to go up 14-0 early in the second quarter. 

Chris Gaine punched in a five-yard run later in the quarter to make it 21-0 Bruins with just over two minutes to go in the half. Cheshire mounted an effective two-minute drill, working the sidelines and hitting one long pass to get down into Brunswick territory, ultimately finding a receiver in the end zone to make the score at halftime 21-7 in Brunswick’s favor. 

Brunswick continued to effectively mix run and pass throughout the second half, scoring on an eight-yard run by Kha’lil Eason in the third quarter and a 19-yard pass from Lauter to Tomas Delgado in the fourth. Credit to the big guys up front — Miles Walker, Cliff Belknap, Michael Burton, Tyler Wilson, Will Janis, and Matt Augustine — for being able to keep the Cheshire defensive line on their heels all day. 

Defensively, Hunter Clark, Jalen Johnson, Michael Neviera, and Jesse Schutzman registered tackles for lost yardage. The defensive line of Jurgis Schmedlen, Lyndon Gay, Michael Neviera, Jesse Schutzman, Reed Eddy, EJ Perez and Taylor Primack played aggressively and up-field, making the Cheshire offense work hard all day. 

All of the seniors got on the field today on their last homecoming as students and made the most of the opportunity to create some great memories.
