A winning streak!

For the second consecutive week, the Savage Storm came away with a convincing victory and looked good on both sides of the ball. On Saturday, Southeastern defeated Northeastern, 28-3, in front of a large Homecoming crowd. The Storm has now outscored their opponents 63-3 over the past two weeks and the defense has not allowed touchdown in eight quarters.
Senior QB Brandon McCain threw for 301 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions as he managed the ballgame like a veteran leader should. Two of those TD passes went to freshman TB Baylen Laury. They were his only receptions of the day, to go with 50 yards on 13 carries. Laury had 104 all-purpose yards and his hard work on the ground allowed the Storm to use play-action sets often. Junior wideout Daniel Nichols continues to have a great season. He had five catches for 129 yards, including 54-yard grab over the middle which he took in for a score.
But we’ve got to talk about the job that the defense did, especially right before the half. Rocky Phillips exploded up the middle for a sack on the last play that the Riverhawks were able to get going - keeping Northeastern from scoring 7, or even 3 points - and the team and crowd were incredibly fired up heading into the intermission. The defense kept up the intensity throughout the game, allowing only one score on four Northeastern trips into the red zone and keeping the opponent out of the endzone for the second straight game.
A couple more victories to close out the schedule could salvage this season for Southeastern.
