Leesburg (Sept. 24, 2006) – Heritage couldn’t stop Handley quarterback J.J. Dorsey who rushed for three scores and threw for two others as Handley handled Heritage 47-20 Thursday.
The Pride fell behind by 20 in the first half before mounting a comeback with Kyle Nelson throwing touchdown passes to Bobby Edmonds (70 yards) and Sean McCoy (5 yards) but Heritage never could catch up.
Heritage had the ball to start the second half trailing 20-12 but the Judges forced the Pride to punt from their own 5 and Handley’s Phil Madagan blocked Chris Rossie’s punt and the ball was picked up by Justin Banks for a Handley touchdown.
Dorsey rushed for 104 yards on 18 carries and threw for 200 yards on 14 for 29 passing.
Nelson added a late touchdown pass to tight end Mike Massey. Nelson finished with 229 yards on 12 for 28 passing but the Pride couldn’t mount a running attack with McCoy the leading rusher with just 13 yards.
Heritage (2-2) is idle next week with its second bye week of the season.
