Leesburg (Sept. 17, 2006) – Heritage broke the 100-yard mark rushing for the first time this season and got another big play from Bobby Edmonds as the Pride got back on track with a 20-7 win over Brentsville Friday.
Heritage quarterback Kyle Nelson was 4-for-7 in the rain for 108 yards and scored the Pride’s first touchdown on a 9-yard run with 7:30 to go in the first quarter.
That scored remained until the third quarter when Nelson found Edmonds for a 69-yard scoring strike. In three games, Edmonds also has scoring plays of 66, 83 and 7o yards.
The Tigers returned the ensuring kickoff 95 yards to cut the lead to 13-7, but that would be the only score on the night given up by Heritage.
The final Heritage score was set up by Ross Madison’s 39-yard run inside the 10 and Sean McCoy did the honors from five yards out for the touchdown.
Edmonds later had a touchdown-saving tackle and linebacker Nick Cadwell picked off a ball deep in Pride territory to keep Brentsville at 7. Heritage got big defensive efforts from linebackers Zak Burkhard (7 solo tackles, 4 assists and 2.5 sacks) and Jonathan Limbeck (4 solo tackles, 7 assists). In addition to Cadwell, the Pride also got interceptions from Edmonds, Madison and Bryan McCarthy.
Heritage is 2-1 on the season.
