seemed like somebody was coming off the field
hurt,'' Hurricane coach Willis May told The
Charleston Newspapers after the game. "Then
you're changing everything."

to be helpful, caring,
and constructive-
To make everything
you touch a little bit better.
The best thing you
have to give is
yourself."

Fans of the running game were looking for a
turf war when #5
Capital hosted #12
Hurricane Saturday at
Laidley Field for a AAA
playoff game.
Would Hurricane's
senior sprinter Terrell
Martin outrun Capital's
sophomore Keon
Wright?
The answer was no.
Martin delivered with
109 yards, on 15
carries. And Wright
earned 139 yards.
But it was a "Pinch-runner," Justin Cousins, who had fans talking with two touchdowns on only two carries.
The first half was a yawner for both teams.
Capital's Wright scored the only points, giving his Cougars a small
6-0 lead.
Rain dampened the fans at halftime, but not their spirit.
Capital padded their lead when Cousins scored from 17 yards.
Kyle Cooper got Hurricane on the board when he ran to paydirt from
18 yards out. The extra point made it 14-7 Capital, and the fans had
a good ballgame to cheer on.
But Cousins wasn't done. He added a 20-yard touchdown, extending the Cougars' lead.
After Capital's Melvin Allen muff's the punt return, Hurricane catches a break with the ball inside the Cougars' 10.
Martin gives new meaning to the "Red Zone" and
takes past the goal line.
However, football games have four quarters, and that's when
Capital's James Wood ices the Cougars' cake with a 25-yard scamper.
Injuries plagued the Redskins all night. Fullback Kyle Cooper, a key component to Hurricane's offense, missed much of the first half. An old hand injury caused Martin problems, and blocking back Andy Fields had to take some injury time on the sidelines.
Capital capitalized on the Skins' injuries and lit up the scoreboard 35-14 when the final gun sounded, sending the Redskins home and the Cougars to Morgantown for the second round of the playoffs.
