Football conference opener: Tornados hungry for revenge
By Justin Fleming
Staff Writer
The Brevard College Tornados finally return
home after over a month on the road and they
are ready to give their fans a show.
Brevard (3-1) will host defending SAC
champions and NCAA semifinalist Carson
Newman Eagles (2-2). The Eagles embarrassed
the Tornados last year in Jefferson City 11-1,
causing eight turnovers and returning four of
them for touchdowns.
This year the Tornados are hungry for revenge!
The Tornado offense is looking more powerful
than ever, coming off a 69-7 win against
Southern Virginia. Last week the Tornadoes
racked up over 600 total yards of offense with
519 coming on the ground and set a single-game
scoring record, breaking the old record of 51
points set last year against Edward Waters.
After that performance Brevard comes into
the game as the number one rushing offense
in the nation. Carson-Newman is coming off a
disappointing loss to UNC Pembroke both of
the Eagles losses have came from nationally
ranked opponents.
The key players of the game for the Tomadoe
on offense are quarterback Mike Crumbaker, he
did not play in this game last year, will be ready
to lead the Tornadoes fierce rushing attack.
Thadus Benton who is coming off of a 5
touchdown game last week and all conference
selection Neville Bryce will be coming back
from injury will both be ready to go for the
Tornadoes this week.
Freshman sensation Kelvin “The Jef’ Jeter
will line up at slot for the Tornadoes Jeter who
is by far the smallest back in the conference is
coming into the game as the leading rusher in
the SAC. Eric Watts will have double duties
as tight end and punter Watts is known for his
spectacular plays and big punts which make him
the nation’s leading punter
Senior slot back Xavier Johnson will be
questionable this week due to an injury suffered
in the game last week. Johnson was the only
Tornado to see the end zone against the agles
last year Jacob “Grape” Richardson will not
be lining up for the Tornadoes for the rest of
the season, the senior tom his ACL two weeks
ago against JCSU. He will dress out for the last
time in a Tornado uniform and will be honored
as captain for the game.
The Brevard defense will be led by all
conference selections Michael Gist and Prince
Simunyu. Gist has been quiet so far this season
due to his reputation and respect he has gotten
from opposing teams but you should expect
him to have a big game this week. One player
that has emerged on the Tornados defense to fill
the shoes of Brevard’s stellar line backing core
last year is Feather River College transfer Tray
Jenkins. Jenkins is a hard hitting linebacker that
can make big plays for the defense.
This weekend is the SAC conference opener for
both team and the beginning of a championship
run for the Tornadoes. Kickoff is Saturday at 2
p.m. at Ashville High School.
