Early fumble ignites ‘Canes to 33-0 win
With both teams being named after storms, you just knew that trouble was a brewing Sunday at Youth Sports Inc.
Unfortunately for the second- and third-grade Twisters, it hit on the game’s first play when a fumble gave the ball back to the Hurricanes – who quickly turned the miscue into a touchdown – which gave them all the momentum they would need in their 33-0 win.
“I thought my kids played very inspired football,” said Hurricanes coach Sebastian Bonner. “They tackled well, they blocked well, they ran hard and that’s really what the philosophy of the Hurricanes is.”
On the Hurricanes first play after their fumble recovery, running back Anthony Bonner took a handoff from quarterback Weston Hack to the outside and went 30 yards untouched for the game’s first score.
And the Hurricanes didn’t look back.
They played defense with intensity, allowing the Twisters to gain yardage, but not points on the scoreboard.
Despite the offensive efforts of Twisters quarterback Triston Nicks and running back Alan Clothier, the Hurricanes took advantage of every Twisters miscue.

Hurricane Cooper Enyart jumped on another fumble late in the first quarter, which set up Bonner’s second score of the quarter to give the Hurricanes a 13-0 lead.
While the first quarter belonged to Bonner, Hack took the reins of the Hurricanes offense in the second quarter.
In the final three minutes of the half, Hack tallied more than a 100 yards and two touchdowns. His heroics set the Hurricanes up with a comfortable advantage.

Twisters defenders Nichalus Williams and Nick Jacobs helped slow the Hurricanes’ offensive storm, limiting them to only one more score in the second half.
Coach Bonner used the second half to build up the experience of his younger players.
“We were playing a lot of second graders particularly on the offensive lin,” Bonner said. “Those guys are young and they don’t always remember their assignments like the third graders do.”
