After an 0-5 start to the season, the Community Christian School eight-player football team closed out its season with three straight wins. The Cyclones probably enjoyed this week’s victory a little more than the last, as they actually got to play after winning by forfeit last week.
For the second time in three weeks, the Cyclones emerged victorious over Father Capodanno, this time beating the Grunts 32-20 in Wilson.
The Cyclones (3-5) jumped out to an 18-6 first-half lead over the Grunts (3-6), and extended that to 24-6 by halftime before holding on for the win in the second half.
CCS picked up 18 first downs to Father Capodanno’s nine, and came up with 253 yards of offense, most of which (160) came on the ground.
Noah Pierce completed 7 of 9 pass attempts for 81 yards for the Cyclones, and added a score on the ground. Trace Davis was the lead man for the rushing attack with 105 yards and a score on 30 carries, and the Cyclones also got a special-teams score in the form of a 97-yard kickoff return from Connor Ferguson.
