QUICK GAME RECAP ...

In a cold, late-season battle at Easton Stadium, the Easton Barons held off the Cape City Corsairs 26–21, using consistent special teams production and timely defensive pressure to control the game. Easton built a 16–7 halftime lead behind Franklin Davis’ four field goals and extended it in the third quarter with a touchdown drive after a key turnover sequence. Cape City responded with strong rushing from Dan Boydston and a late fourth-quarter push, but constant pressure—highlighted by nine sacks—disrupted their passing attack and stalled multiple drives. MVP DLE Mike Russell (EASTON) anchored the defensive effort with 2 sacks and 6 tackles for loss, helping limit Cape City’s consistency despite their 352 total yards, while Easton’s efficiency in scoring situations ultimately made the difference.
