BRUNSWICK'S SEASON ENDS IN SECOND ROUND

By Kevin Price For GCS Athletics The Brunswick High Pirates saw their season come to a close Friday night with a 41-14 loss at Marist in the second round of the Class AAAAAA state playoffs. The War Eagles (11-1) led 41-0 before the Pirates put two late touchdowns on the scoreboard. Ty’ler Sams scored for the Pirates after scooping up a Marist fumble inside the home team’s 30-yard line for Brunswick’s first score of the night. The Pirates also got a 10-yard touchdown run by Jamarious Towns following a 53-yard pass from J.R. Elkins to Heze Kent. Marist led 24-0 at halftime. Brunswick was making its fourth appearance in the second round in the last five seasons, but the Pirates are now 0-8 in second-round games since the 1999 BHS team played for the Class AAAA state championship. The Pirates, who were the No. 3 seed from Region 2-AAAAAA, end their season 7-4. Marist won a second-round game for the seventh consecutive season. The War Eagles, ranked seventh in Class AAAAAA at the end of the regular season, won the Region 4 championship this fall with a perfect 5-0 record. The War Eagles lost their season opener to Gainesville, the state runner-up last season, and have won 11 in a row since that loss to the Red Elephants to begin the season. Marist will play Roswell next week with the winner advancing to the semifinals.
