Brentwood football blocks field goal as time expires, upsets Brentwood Academy
BRENTWOOD – Brentwood shot the gaps in Brentwood Academy's line to block a potential game-tying 41-yard field goal by the Eagles' London Bironas as time expired to secure a dramatic come-from-behind victory, 21-18, Friday at James C. Parker Stadium.
Bruins quarterback Baylor Hayes scrambled for a 9-yard touchdown with 58 seconds left and connected on a two-point conversion pass to give the Bruins a 21-18 lead. Brentwood's defense gave up passing yards of 13, 15, 17 and 14 yards to Eagles five-star quarterback George MacIntyre on Brentwood Academy's final drive. But the Eagles couldn't seal the blocking up front to give Bironas a chance.
Hayes finished 15-for-29 for 266 yards for a touchdown and an interceptions and ran for 69 yards and two more as the Bruins (2-0) travel to Hendersonville next week. Bruins wide receiver Clayton Merrill had four receptions for 106 yards.
Brentwood Academy falls to 0-2 after losing a season-opening heartbreaker to CPA, 17-16. MacIntyre was 32-of-45 for 353 yards with a touchdown and interception. T.T. Hill caught 14 balls for 178 yards and a touchdown while Shavar Young added 12 receptions for 140 yards.
It's the first 0-2 start for the Eagles in more than 20 years. They'll host Christian Brothers next Friday.
