Bridgeport High School Indians

The Bridgeport Indians' defense and special teams gave the offense short fields, especially in the second half, and the Tribe run game took advantage, carving up the Fairmont Senior Polar Bears, 56-7, in the Tribe's regular season finale at East-West Stadium on Friday night.
 
"Super proud of that group," Bridgeport coach Tyler Phares said. "They did everything they were supposed to do this week. We had some kids step up in some big situations, some kids that did not have a lot of experience that went to some different spots. Hats off to Coach Steart, Coach Carey, Coach Moore, I couldn't say enough about them."
 
Gavin Williams ran for four touchdowns and 134 yards and threw for another 49-yard score and Gabe Martin also ran for a pair of TDs and 82 yards for BHS, which held Fairmont Senior standout quarterback Anthony Smith to just 11-for-31 passing with a late TD pass.
 
Bridgeport received the opening kickoff and, aided by a 31-yard Martin rush, found the end zone on a 1-yard Williams rush with 7:36 left in the first quarter.
 
Jaylen Brown's extra point gave Bridgeport a 7-0 lead.
 
Tristin Noble sacked Smith on third-and-10 to end the Fairmont Senior opening drive and a poor punt under heavy rush gave the Tribe prime field position at the Polar Bear 28.
 
"It was great. Any time you've got a good quarterback like that you don't want him comfortable and sitting back," Phares said. "Our secondary was good behind them, keeping everybody in front and jumping routes."
 
A holding penalty handicapped the drive, but on fourth-and-2, Fairmont Senior gave Bridgeport a first down with an encroachment flag.
 
The Tribe doubled its lead to 14-0 on a 2-yard Martin plunge with 1:12 remaining in the first quarter.
 
After a Fairmont Senior punt on the final play of the first quarter, Bridgeport was stopped just short on fourth down to turn the ball over on downs at the Polar Bears 32 with 10:25 left in the second quarter.
 
A personal foul flag fouled Fairmont Senior's next drive, then a 30-yard Williams rush placed Bridgeport in the red zone.
 
Williams scored from 5 yards out with 5:11 left in the second quarter: 21-0.
 
"He got some tough yards on some tough runs," Phares said of Williams "There were some things that were going on in the first half blocking-scheme-wise that we weren't happy with, but he was able to continue to get yards."
 
Fairmont Senior crossed midfield but punted with 1:18 left.
 
Williams chewed 25 yards on first down, but Bridgeport let the clock run out before a fourth-down snap at midfield.
 
The Polar Bears received to start the half but did little and tried to punt.
 
This time, the rush got all the way through, smothering the attempt at the Fairmont Senior 9.
 
Martin darted up the middle untouched from there for an easy touchdown: 28-0, 10:56 left in the third.
 
After a Polar Bear 3-and-out, a strong punt return by Graham Vincent set the Tribe up at the Fairmont Senior 12.
 
Again, the first snap went to the end zone, this time from Williams to the left: 35-0, 10:18 left in the third.
