Austin Pelkey scored 5 times, Austin Waite added 2 more scores and Kyle Fowler added another score as the Southern Cloud Braves wrapped up another fine season with a win at Linn.
Austin Pelkey scored on a fumble recovery and run of 28 yards on the first play from scrimmage, and then scored on a runs of 14 yards, 10 yards, 38 yards, and 40 yards to lead the Braves to victory. Austin Waite scored the 1st two touchdowns of his career on a 34 yard run and a 56 yard kick return, and Kyle Fowler scored on a 51 yard kick return to round out the scoring. Add the power running of Eli Heller and you get a pretty solid Braves victory.
"I was pleased with our effort for the most part tonight. We wanted to finish the year on an up note and we did that. I think the guys were really happy with the win. I was pleased that everybody on the team got plenty of playing time in this game. That is always something we try to do as much as possible. The more experience your guys get, the better they will be in the future. It is what we've tried to build our program on." Quoted Rick Hatfield, Southern Cloud Head Coach.
