Brooland- Cayce 3

It was that kind of night for the Cavaliers who scored on passes of 42 and 64 yards to Bret Kilgore and Josh Young respectively, and runs of 88 and 27 yards by Darius Wright and Alexander Greene respectively. In contrast, the Bearcats punted six times, turned the ball over on downs, and gave up a safety. They crossed into RNE territory four times and managed just a 19- yard field goal from Robbie Setzler in the fourth quarter.

The Cavaliers amassed 273 yards rushing led by Wright's 94 total yards and Greene's 64. Quarterback Derrick Frost was 5- for- 8 for 140 yards and two touchdowns. Young had four receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown.

Richland Northeast's Josh Young tries to shake Brookland- Cayce's Gollie Felder. Young had four receptions for 113 yards and one touchdown.

The Bearcats' bright spot was Demetrius Jackson who rushed 28 times for 94 yards. His longest run of the night was 17 yards..

Things get tough for the Cavaliers now. They face Blythewood next at home who defeated them 21- 19 last year, then the Cavaliers travel to South Pointe who is fresh off victories over Irmo and Lower Richland.

Brookland- Cayce gets 0- 2 Dreher at home next then travels to play Columbia. The Bearcats should not lose hope because they started 2006 with a 54- 8 loss to RNE and went 0- 5 before winning four of their last five to make the playoffs.

Brookland- Cayce captains (l- r) Cody Cooper, Robby Setzler, Malcolm Brown, and Demetrius Jackson. Cooper had three tackles. Setzler kicked a 34- yard field goal. Jackson rushed 28 times for 94 yards.
