Game 3:
Mars Hill 28, Brevard 10
Sept. 17, 2011 - Brevard Memorial Stadium
The Tornados struck first as Aaron Reese hooked up with
Eric Watts on a five yard touchdown pass, but a Brevard
fumble in the third quarter turned the tide as Mars Hill
scored 21 unanswered points as the Lions held off the
Tornados in Brevard Memorial Stadium on Saturday
afternoon, 28-10.
The BC offense moved the ball down the field on their
second possession as Jeter broke a 39 yard run down to
the Mars Hill 23 yard line on the second play of the drive.
Six plays later, on third-and-two from the five yard line,
Reese targeted Watts just inside the goal line and the duo
connected for their second touchdown in as many weeks,
giving the Tornados the 7-0 advantage with 2:21 left in the
first quarter.
The following Lions possession took advantage of two
Brevard defensive pass interference penalties for first
downs as they used a quick no-huddle offense to march
down the field, moving 67 yards on eight plays, before
Richt found Patrick Park on a short out in front of the left
end zone pylon and the fullback dove across the goal line,
knotting the score up at 7 apiece with 14:03 left in the half.
Another big run, this time by Reese as the quarterback
carried for 29 yards and a roughing the punter penalty
contributed to the next BC scoring drive as the Tornados
advanced the ball to the Mars Hill 24 yard line. However,
the drive stalled, leaving the Tornados to settle for a 39
yard field goal attempt by reigning Austin Clark, and the
freshman delivered, booting the ball through the uprights
to give BC the 10-7 advantage.
The Lions continued to attack the Tornados through the air
on their next possession as Richt went 5-for-6 on the drive
for 51 yards, hooking up with three different receivers
before finding Holmes in the back of the end zone at the
6:06 mark to give the Lions the 14-10 advantage.
A Brevard College fumble on their first possession in the
second half gave the Lions excellent field position at the
BC nine yard line, and Jonas Randolph found the end zone
for the first of his two rushing touchdowns of the game,
carrying the ball in on the first play from scrimmage to give
Mars Hill the 21-10 lead.
Mars Hill added one final scoring drive spanning the end of
the third and beginning of the fourth quarter as Randolph
capped of an 11 play-83 yard drive with a two yard
touchdown carry to give the Lions the 28-10 advantage
with 13:46 left in the contest.
Brevard mounted one final drive, moving the ball 62 yards
on 13 plays, but the Tornados were stopped on downs at
the Mars Hill 16 yard line as Reese’s final pass attempt fell
incomplete as the Tornados fell to the Lions, 28-10.
