BC Football looks
for first win
against Chowan
by Joseph Chilton
Managing Editor
Last season, Brevard got their
first win of the year against
Chowan University. The
Tornados will be hoping that
history repeats itself when the
Hawks come to town this
Saturday..
Coming off of a by e week last
weekend, the Tornados return
to the gridiron this weekend
during Family Weekend
festivities on Saturday.
BC has stumbled its way to
an 0-3 start thus far, but
Chowan will be a perfect
opponent to try and right the
ship against.
Last weekend Chowan
snapped an eighteen game
losing streak that dated back
to the 2005 season by
squeaking by Division III
Methodist 31-30 last weekend
It was on Chowan’s field last
October that BC got its first
football victory in over fifty
years, making a goal-hne stand
in the final minute to preserve
a 10-5 victory over the Hawks.
If Brevard achieves a similar
outcome this season, it will
most likely come on the
shoulders of junior running
back John Taylor. The Elon
transfer has racked up 299
yards and six touchdowns on
63 carries this season, and the
team’s offense appears much
more efficient with Taylor
providing them a workhorse in
the backfield.
Chowan will enter the game
with a 1-3 record on the season.
Against the other two South
Atlantic Conference
opponents that they have
played the Hawks are 0-2,
having been outscored by
Newberry and Catawba by a
combined score of 122-7.
Kickoff for this week’s game
will be at 2 p.m. at Brevard
Memorial Stadium on the
campus of Brevard High
School.
