Game #1 Broadneck Survives St. Mary's Rally, Opens Season With 29-27 Victory Quarterback K. Nathan throws three touchdown passes as the Bruins hold oM their Annapolis rivals. ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Broadneck wasted little time announcing its o`ensive potential Friday night. But after building a commanding first-quarter lead against St. Mary's, the Bruins needed nearly every point to escape with a 29-27 victory in their season opener. The Bruins scored 22 points in the opening quarter, establishing an advantage that ultimately proved decisive in the nonconference meeting between the two Annapolis programs. St. Mary's refused to disappear. The Saints scored in every quarter and gradually reduced Broadneck's lead, including six points in the final period. But the Bruins held on for a two-point victory to begin the season 1-0. Broadneck quarterback K. Nathan completed 12 of 21 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns, overcoming one interception to lead the passing attack.
Receiver T. Aidan emerged as Nathan's primary big-play target, catching four passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns. Nathan also contributed 40 rushing yards on six carries. For St. Mary's, quarterback D. Hita`er completed 13 of 18 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown. Receiver D. Jackson recorded seven receptions for 128 yards and two touchdowns, helping keep the Saints within striking distance. Running back P . Cochran added 59 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Broadneck's 22-point first quarter gave the Bruins enough room to withstand the Saints' comeback attempt. After a scoreless second quarter, Broadneck added seven points in the third before holding o` St. Mary's in the fourth. The narrow victory o`ered two early lessons for the Bruins: their o`ense could generate points quickly, but maintaining control against determined opponents would require sustained execution. Broadneck was scheduled to travel to Baltimore County to face Milford Mill Academy on September 10. DMV Gridiron Takeaway: Broadneck's passing combination of Nathan and Aidan immediately established itself as a major o`ensive weapon. The Bruins' ability to withstand St. Mary's rally was encouraging, though the shrinking lead highlighted the importance of finishing games.
