“Big players make big plays,” said linebacker Darryl Dolberry, who had an interception late in the fourth quarter. “We did what we were supposed to do, and we knew we could beat them like that. It was a job well done. We just have to go to practice and grind, grind, grind, and hopefully get the same results next week.”

The Brahmas added one more touchdown with six minutes left in the game, on an eightyard pass from Harrison to wide receiver Nate Gedeus bringing the score to 49-21.

The Brahmas gave Sims the traditional Gatorade bath as the final seconds ticked off the clock.

“The key was to come out and continue the intensity and keep playing strong; that was my goal,” Sims said. “I didn’t want to think that the game was already over at 35-14, so I’m glad they came out and continued to play hard.” azolezzi.roundupnews@gmail.com

Sims said he wants to continue working on cleaning up the personal fouls.

The Brahmas received two personal fouls this game, an improvement from the first home game of the season against LA Southwest College, in which there were 14 between the two teams. Sims wants that number down to zero.
