Sept. 14, 2007 \ The Clarion Sports Page 9 Football team falls short in second half by Zach Browning Staff Writer The Brevard College Tornadoes traveled to Mars Hill last Saturday for their first South Atlantic Conference game of the season. The Tornados hanging tough for over half the game, but faltered late and fell to the Lions 35-7. The Tornadoes played an excellent first quarter, scoring the first touchdown of the game. Brevard did well and held on throughout most of the game despite Mars Hill’s offensive drives. BC and Mars Hill went into halftime tied at seven, and things looked promising for the Tornados to make a grand entrance into the South Atlantic Conference. The second half,however, belonged to Mars Hill. Mars Hill struck early in the second half to go up 14-7. After intercepting a Brevard pass in the end zone that would have tied the score, the Lions drove down the field and scored again with 2:40 remaining in the third quarter The Lions extended their lead to 28-7 less than twenty seconds later when they recovered a fumble off of the kickoff in the end zone. Leading the Tornadoes in rushing was freshman quarterback Trey Wilbom with 32 yard on 13 carries, followed by sophomore wideout Jeffery Adams with 22 yards on 3 carries. Junior defensive back Josh Durm recorded 9 tackles on the afternoon to lead the Tornado defense. More than 4,200 fans turned out for the game, in which Mars Hill debuted new renovations to their press box and stadium.
