Flour Bluff took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Thursday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Varsity Opponent 42-14. The Hornets' offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the game anyway.
Lucian Cruz had an outrageously good game as he threw for 204 yards and five TDs on perfect 11-for-11 passing.
Another reason for the win was Flour Bluff's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Micah Mitchell was especially locked on to Varsity Opponent's QB and sacked him twice. Flour Bluff got some further help from Anthony Mimms: he made seven total tackles (5.0 for loss).
