BELLVILLE — Brahmas football bounced back with a statement win in week two by defeating Stafford High School on homecoming night by a final score of 30-0 Sep- tember 6 at Brahmas Field. Bellville used their normal run game, which was efficient like usual, and held tough on defense to shutout Stafford.
“Last week, Celina made us better,” said Bellville head coach Grady Rowe. “That’s what we talked about all week. Coaches say it a lot, but it’s literally week by week.
We're 1-0 this week. That's what we talked about. We’re gonna enjoy this a little bit and get ready to focus for Craw - ford. We did some really good things tonight. We did some things we just got to get better at. That's what the early part of the season’s about.”
Brahmas senior running back DD Murray had a big night on the ground with 58 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries.
“Get the team better and lead better,” Murray said on his goals for this season.
Murray punched in the first score of the game on a 16-yard run at the seven and a half minute mark, then junior run - ning back Izak Hranicky add ed a rushing touchdown of his own with two minutes to go to take a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Bellville put Stafford under pressure on their own goal line with 7:41 to play in the second quarter, resulting in the Stafford quarterback to throw the ball out of the end zone for a safety and a 16-0 advantage for the Brahmas.
With just under a minute to play before the half, Bellville junior Adarius Hutchinson re covered a backwards pass for a 32 yard fumble recovery and a touchdown to make it 23-0 going into halftime.
As Bellville continued to wear out Stafford with their run game, Murray scored Bellville's final touchdown at the 5:24 mark in the third quarter for three yards and a 30-0 lead.
Bellville milked the clock throughout the rest of the game, as did Stafford as they realized the game was way out of reach, resulting in a 30-0 victory for the Brahmas.
