PREP FOOTBALL : Freeway League Roundup

Troy 14, Buena Park 7--Chad Brasington swept left on the second play of the game, broke 1 tackle, and ran 71 yards for Troy’s first touchdown in front of 325 at Fullerton High School.

Brasington, a sophomore running back, finished the half with 120 yards rushing in 8 carries, but had minus-1 yard rushing in 3 carries in the second half to finish with 119.

Troy scored again in the second quarter on a 21-yard run by senior running back Mark Stichter with 11:06 remaining for a 14-0 lead. Stichter played most of the second half in place of Brasington and had 51 yards rushing.

Troy is 5-1-1 overall and 1-1 in league play.

Buena Park (2-4-1, 0-2) intercepted 3 passes and recovered a fumble, but could not keep its offense going.

The Buena Park offense was penalized for 40 yards, and quarterback Matt Acevedo was sacked 6 times.

Acevedo scored for Buena Park with 11:14 left in the game on a 4-yard run that capped a 34-yard drive set up by a 31-yard punt by Troy punter Tom Wilson from the Troy 3-yard line.

Despite the victory, Troy Coach John Turek was upset. “We can’t seem to put together a full game offensively. If we play like this next week (against La Habra) we’ll get tattooed,” he said.
