In other action Sunday:
Junior varsity
Northshore’s JV squad improved to 2-0 with a 18-0 forfeit win over a Fort Bragg team that was missing several players because of a COVID-19 quarantine.
Pee Wee
After missing a scrimmage and its season opener against Westshore last week because of a COVID-19 quarantine, the Northshore Pee Wee club finally got its 2021 season under way with a 14-0 victory over Fort Bragg.
Northshore (1-1) scored in the first quarter on a Jaquobi Allison 55-yard run and in the second quarter on a 47-yard Allsion run. D’avian Horne ran in the first extra point and Gabriel Navarro had the second.
Bentley Brewer’s play on the defensive line played a big part in the win, according to coach Bradley Brackett.
“He was in their backfield all game. He caused havoc all over the place,” Brackett said.
