Notes, superlatives and final box score from JM-Brookville
PLAYER OF THE GAME
Brookville senior running back Anthony Calloway
Calloway had 123 rushing yards on 12 carries, including a nifty 63-yard touchdown run that tied the score 7-7 with 5:17 left in the second quarter. He also had an interception in the first quarter, the only turnover for either team.
PLAY OF THE GAME
James Monroe ball, fourth quarter
On third-and-22 from the James Monroe 43-yard line, Yellow Jackets wide receiver Byran Johnson made a phenomenal leaping one-handed catch of a 37-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Jay Scroggins. The long gain set up JM’s only second-half points — Scroggins’ 1-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Darryl Dyson with 3:41 remaining.
TURNING POINT
Calloway’s 63-yard run in the first quarter turned the tide for the Bees and started a 24-point spurt that put the game out of reach.
