Tech Finishes regular season 6-3 after payback win vs Boys High 30-6



By Kate Blitz
Brooklyn Tech Football Sports Information Director

After a disappointing loss against Sheepshead Bay last Saturday, the team sought revenge against Boys and Girls after a blow out loss last year.

James Brown started the game with the kickoff, and the defense took over from there forcing Boys and Girls to punt after six short plays.

The punt was returned to the 48. Denzel McLarty would begin the offensive series with 3 runs for a total of 13 yards. After an attempted pass to Brown, the offense went back to the run, where McLarty would run another three times again for 13 yards. After a delay of game penalty, Tarrance Taylor took control and had 2 times for 20 yards. On first and goal at the 2, McLarty ran for the touchdown and the following 2 point conversion.
Boys and Girls ran the kickoff back to the 28, and after a 9 yard run, the quarter ended.
Boys and Girls would open the quarter with a 10 yard run, and follow it with a touchdown, but Tech's impressive goal line defense would prevent the two point conversion.
When Tech got the ball back they knew they had to score, and although there was an offsides penalty, McLarty offset it with a 17 yard run. After Taylor had a run for no gain he followed it up with a 29 yard run. McLarty then had two more runs for a total of 10 yards.
Hisham Dola had one of his greatest passes all season to Stephen Harris, for 25 yards and the touchdown. McLarty ran for the two points, and Tech led 16-6.
Boys and Girls recieved the ball on the 40, but the defense stopped them with a 3 yard run, a run for no gain, and incompletion, forcing fourth down. Cj Tiamfook had a sack, giving Tech good field position with less than five minutes in the half. McLarty ran three times for 9 yards, and on fourth down, he missed the first by inches. Boys and Girls recieved the ball, and on fourth and long, they would make the first. On the next fourth down, Taylor would almost have an interception, but Tech got the ball anyway but with little time and only two timeouts. Taylor had a 15 yard run, and Gino Nadela had a 10 yard run. With only time for one play James Brown ran the ball, and broke many tackles but was tackled on the 25, ending the half with Tech leading 16-6.
James Brown recieved the kickoff on the 30, and McLarty started the series with an almost 10 yard run, just short of the first, followed by another 10 yard run. Brown was tackled for a loss of 12, but McLarty made up for it with a gain of 13 on the following play. Dola had another great pass, this time for 15 yards to Harris. Boys and Girls was called offsides, and Taylor ran for 10 yards followed by a 10 yard run by Jamere Lanier. Taylor had a touchdown but was called back to the 7, where Taylor had a 6 yard run. Two tries from the 1 were unsuccessful, and on fourth down, Dola had a third fabulous throw to Tanber Zaman for the touchdown. McLarty ran for the two points.
James Brown had an impressive kickoff to the 2, which would end the 3rd quarter with Tech in the lead, 24-6. With the 18 point lead, the defense allowed a 10 yard run, a 1st down on 4th down an 11 yard run and a 6 yard run. Cj Tiamfook put pressure on the quarterback, forcing an interception to McLarty who returned it to the 14. A four yard run made it 1st and goal, which was made by Taylor. David Ritter attempted to kick his second extra point but missed making the score 30-6.
Boys and Girls got the ball on their own 40, and then had a 40 yard run. On the goal line, Tech stopped them again four times, not allowing any touchdowns to be scored.
Tech recieved the ball near Boys and Girls endzone, but Gino Nadela quickly took Tech out with a 15 yard run, which ended the game.
