Bruins Move to 2-1, Top Salisbury

Brunswick rode a great first half to victory on Saturday evening at Salisbury, defeating the Crimson Knights by a score of 33-21.

After jumping out to a 21-0 lead, the Knights answered with a few big plays but were never able to close the gap. 

Kha’lil Eason broke a run along the right sideline in the first quarter to open the scoring on the Bruins’ opening drive. Danny Lauter broke out of the pocket in the second quarter and found paydirt to make the game 14-0 Bruins. 

With three minutes to play in the half, the Bruins got the ball back with a short field after Jesse Schutzman blocked a punt. Lauter only needed one play to find Ashton Winegardner behind the defense; 21-0 Bruins headed into half. 

Salisbury opened the second half having refocused and reenergized as they effectively mixed power running with some quick passes to move down the field before their speedy wide receiver broke lose for a touchdown. 

Brunswick responded with Lauter this time using his legs to get down to the one-yard line before Chris Gaine plunged the last yard on the ground. Salisbury quickly regained momentum by taking the ensuing kickoff to the house to narrow the lead once again. 

Eason found the end zone again on a nifty run to the left side in the fourth quarter to go up three scores once again. 

Salisbury answered again with a long touchdown pass off a double-move to close out the evening’s scoring. 

Schutzman, Jurgis Schmedlen, and Jack Stemerman harassed the Salisbury quarterback in the backfield throughout the day, and Wells Faultstich had a beauty of a toe-tap interception along the Knights’ sideline. 

The Bruins return to action on Cosby field next weekend against Williston-Northampton at 1:00.
