FAMU plucks Eagles’
tail feathers 31-7 _

BY NEAL FISHER
Sports WRITER ‘

After a third straight loss,
this time 31-7 to FAMU,
player and community alike
might feel indifferent towards
the team, but the Bronson
Eagles season is more than
scores and wins and losses.

“We played a real athletic
ball club and the score
reflects that,” head coach
Greg Brochetti said. “But we
made some more progress and
their team is getting better.
We need to cut down on the

_ mistakes, but we are a young
team and that is expected.

“We played real hard and
that is what we have to keep
doing,” Brochetti said. “The
fact that we scored in the
closing minutes, while being
so far behind, on a kick return
is a good sign. It means we
are learning how to play and
our efforts will start to make
some of these plays more
productive.”

Unfortunately for the
Bronson community, there
wasn’t much suspense to the
outcome of the game. FAMU
ran with the ball from the
beginning and didn’t have
to use any sort of a passing
game. Jonathon Ferrell and
Greg Watson carried the load
for FAMU as the Eagles were
clearly out manned and failed
to match their talent and
athleticism. ey

Ferrell opened the scoring
on a four-yard trot. Watson
followed with his own
specialty, a long distance
strike from 38 yards away.
The duo put the game away
in the third period when
they struck again with new
methods. This time Watson
scored first with a 25-yard
bolt and Ferrell, not to be
outdone, made the score a 28-

 

' point bulge with a 28 yard-

fumble return,

The Eagles gave it their
best shot, but the final
statistics also showed they
were outclassed athletically.
Bronson’s multiple set offense
gained 89 total’ yards, while
giving up 278 yards to the
visitors. On the other hand,
there was a ray of promise as
they earned more first downs
than FAMU.

Watson scored the visitors’
final score on a 37 yard run
in the fourth. William Harris
gave the Eagles their lone
score and allowed them to
avoid the shutout with a 75-
yard return on the kickoff.

“T realize it might not look
like much, but the kids are
playing really hard and they
aren’t giving up,” Brochetti
er ae ‘

“That is what improve-
ment is-the foundation im-

provement. We only have
one senior and most of our
guys haven’t lettered, so once
we start getting some funda-
mentals down, we will have
the nucleus of an experienced
group of guys. Scores like
this one should start to be-
come fewer,” Brochetti:said.

“They are the best of group
of athletes since I’ve been
here. The right attitude and
work ethic will go a long way
inbuildingthosefundamentals
and the beginning of winning.
Despite losing, the kids
kept trying and had a great
attitude during the game.
They genuinely care. They
could have given up during
the game, but they didn’t and
I am proud of them. Even

ina loss like this, we keep

learning.”
The Eagles will play their
third straight home game next
