Newcastle beats Tecumseh’s Savages, 55-6

Newcastle’s Racers came off a great week of practice headed into Friday night’s football game with Tecumseh, and it showed.

The Racers held their opponents scoreless in the first three quarters, while scoring 14, 21 and 13 points consecutively. The defense did allow one touchdown in the fourth quarter, but Tecumseh missed its extra point. The final score was Newcastle 55 to Tecumseh’s 6. The win moved the Racers to 4-0 on the season, and 1-0 in District.

Head Coach Jeff Brickman said Tecumseh played man coverage and the Racers had several big pass plays that took advantage of that.
