Louisburg College’s seventh victory of the season may have been its most impressive, at least from a statistical standpoint.
The Hurricanes overwhelmed Brevard’s JV team 60-0 on Sunday afternoon in the high country.
Louisburg forced eight turnovers, collecting five fumble recoveries and making three interceptions. The ‘Canes recorded 14 tackles-for-loss and six sacks.
Brevard’s JV unit finished with 12 total yards, including minus -69 yards net rushing on 31 attempts. The Tornados did not pick up a first down.
The ‘Canes, who improved to 7-2, grabbed a 27-0 lead after the first period, notched another touchdown before the break, then tacked on 26 more points after intermission.
Louisburg College remains ranked No. 2 in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division III national rankings. This is the highest the Hurricanes have ever been ranked in that poll.
