Final Score: CAPE CITY 21, BRANDENBURG 14
QUICK GAME RECAP ...
In a tightly contested, cold-weather playoff battle at Forson Field,
the Cape City Corsairs rallied late to defeat the Brandenburg Brahmas
21–14, overcoming a fourth-quarter deficit with timely execution and
explosive plays. After taking an early lead behind Dan Boydston’s
touchdown run, Cape City fell behind when Brandenburg scored twice,
including a go-ahead touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. The
Corsairs responded with two late scoring drives, highlighted by Harold
Knight’s efficient passing and clutch decision-making, to reclaim
control in the final minute. MVP QB Harold Knight (CAPE CITY) delivered
a highly efficient performance, completing 17-of-21 passes for 191
yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception while adding key rushing yards,
as Cape City’s balanced offense and late-game composure proved decisive
against a Brandenburg team that moved the ball effectively but failed
to capitalize on multiple missed field goal opportunities. |
