Sophomore running back Johnnie Hankins had 70 yards and a touchdown to lead visiting Homestead to a 14-0 upset win over rival Southridge.
“My offensive line came through for me today,” Hankins said.
The Broncos (1-1) scored the game-winning touchdown late in the third quarter after putting together a nine-play, 92-yard drive.
“It was a great feeling for the kids to get a win,” Homestead coach Patrick Burrows said. “They worked hard, they deserved it.”
The Homestead defense, led by freshman linebacker Cedrick Wright, limited the Spartans for much of the game at Southridge Park. Spartans quarterback Troy Cook struggled, completing four of 17 attempts for 52 yards and two interceptions.
Junior running back Jamal Adajamah provided much of the Spartans’ offense carrying the ball 19 times for 114 yards.
Midway through the fourth quarter, the Spartans moved the ball deep into Broncos’ territory but penalties helped end the drive. Southridge (1-1) had 16 penalties for 120 yards.
