Bethlehem Center extended their losing streak to three on Friday, dropping them down to 1-6. They received a blow as they fell 37-19 to the Jefferson-Morgan Rockets. While losing is never fun, the Bulldogs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania football rankings (they are ranked 481st, while the Rockets are ranked 231st).
Enzo Brown and Teagan Veatch certainly did their best on Friday to avoid the loss. Brown rushed for 197 yards while picking up 7.9 yards per carry, while Veatch rushed for 108 yards on only 15 carries. Brown was even better on defense, picking up two sacks, forcing one fumble, and making 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Don't try to pin the team's loss on the defense: they kept the trenches locked down and allowed a mere three yards per carry. The team can thank Brown for the heroic effort on defense: he. Bethlehem Center's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 3.73 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed 4.8 on average over their last three games.
