Footbll Stays Unbeaten At Linsly

Box Score Jack Spatafore did a little bit of everything for Class AAA No. 1 Bridgeport in Friday night's 54-8 victory against Linsly at West Family Stadium at West Liberty University.
 
He threw a pair of touchdown passes, he ran for two touchdowns and on defense he had an interception, a forced fumble and three tackles and that was just in the first half as the Indians dominated their opponent for the fourth straight week in a perfect 4-0 stretch to start the season.
 
Spatafore added a 42-yard touchdown run in the third quarter as he finished with 80 rushing yards on seven carries and three touchdowns, while completing 4-of-5 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns, and of course the plays on defense where the Indians limited Linsly to 169 yards of total offense.
 
"I'm proud of our kids," BHS coach Tyler Phares said. "I sound like a broken record, but we want to keep getting better every week and the kids are doing that.
 
It was Jack's night to shine, we called his number a lot and it paid off."
 
The Indians actually overcame a little bit of adversity before the game even kicked off. Starting tailback/cornerback Alex Moses was out with an injury as was Bear Metheney, a starter on both sides of the line. Noah West, another standout two-way lineman was a game-time decision and he did warm up with the team but did not play in the game.
 
Three key players out of the lineup, and one could hardly tell as the next-man up mentality came through big time with players like Malachi Nuse, Tristin Noble, Owen Gillespie and Brody Abraham among others stepping up and the team not missing a beat.
 
"It's showing the depth of our program" Phares said. "There's a reason we spend just as much time with our JV guys and our freshmen guys. We know at some point they are going to be our next guys. We have a lot of good football players with our twos and threes. We expect them to go in and make plays and they are doing that."
