The
game got under way and it would be the Wonders that strike first. Brown
quarterback Cordarius Butler hit Lewis Harris for a five-yard touchdown pass.
Brian Gutierrez’s extra point kick made it 7-0. The Spiders would strike back
with a 60-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Larkin Lancaster to P.J. Hall.
Landon Trott tied the game with the extra point.
The
Spiders took the lead when Wonder quarterback Butler was sacked and he fumbled.
Ja’Nai Spratt scooped up the loose ball and took it 37 yards for a touchdown. The
play was not the only costly because of the turnover. The play also resulted in
Butler injuring his knee. He would not return. Senior Zac Williamson took over
at quarterback.
Mistakes
doomed Concord, however. Following a muffed punt that put A.L. Brown at the
one-yard, the Wonders would capitalize. Jahia Mahatha punched in it on the next
play. Gutierrez’s kick gave the Wonders the lead at 14-13. The Wonders extended
their lead to 21-13 with another run by Mahatha, this time from three yards
out. That would be the score at half-time.
The
third quarter was a stalemate for the most part. The only score in that period was
a Gutierrez 26-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, the Spiders came back to
life. Justin Nicholson returned a punt 83 yards for a touchdown. Their two
point conversion to cut it to three points failed however. That would be as
close as Concord would come. The Wonders put the nail in the coffin with an
interception from Steven Howie that was returned 35 yards for a touchdown.
The
final would be 31-19 in favor of A.L. Brown. The Wonders host South Rowan next
week. Concord takes on Albemarle.
