The Brunswick High School football team was effective on offense and defense Friday night in Hinesville in a 42-0 win in the Pirates preseason scrimmage against Liberty County. <\/p>\n
Brunswick had a pair of scoring plays called back by penalties in the first half, but the Pirates' defense held Liberty County in check. <\/p>\n
After a false start negated a touchdown pass, Jagaryon Marcus scored the Pirates first touchdown by recovering a fumble forced by George Mincey. Brunswick was off to a stingy start on defense with three first-half turnovers, including interceptions from seniors Sean Ward and Aubrey Williams. <\/p>\n
Another bad break on offense occurred later in the half when penalty negated a second potential offensive touchdown in the second quarter. On that drive, the Pirates converted a field goal from Dalton Thrift. The Pirates entered the half up 10-0. In the second half, Brunswick made up for its lost points. <\/p>\n
Without crucial penalties, the Pirates offense rolled. Quarterback Jamarius Stevens scored in the third quarter on a sweep, recording the Pirates first offensive touchdown. He later threw a touchdown pass to Shaq Robinson to extend the Pirates lead. <\/p>\n
Temhaj Wright scored Brunswicks third offensive touchdown and Jaylen Trimmings scored in the final quarter to cap off the offensive display at Liberty County. <\/p>\n
Officials with Brunswick High School said Stevens was 18-for-26 passing for 229 yards and one interception. <\/p>\n
