The Bishop McCort Crimson Crushers opened the 2014 season hosting the Forest Hills Rangers last Saturday night, and the Rangers used a strong first half to defeat the Crushers 35-0.

The two squads traded possessions throughout the first quarter until Ranger tailback Shareef Blough burst through the line for a 14-yard touchdown run to open the scoring and give Forest Hills a 7-0 lead. Blough led the attack for the Rangers, finishing the night with 8 carries for 131 yards and two touchdowns.

The Rangers increased their lead throughout the second quarter as the Crushers gave up a trio of big plays the led to Ranger touchdowns.

After a Crusher interception, Ranger quarterback Joe Donoughe sprinted around the edge for a 65-yard touchdown run. After the next McCort drive stalled, Blough took the handoff and rushed for an 80-yard touchdown. Then just before halftime, Donoughe picked off another McCort pass and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown that put the Rangers up 28-0.

The Crusher defense held strong in the second half as they keep the Ranger offense out of the endzone, but Donoughe added a second interception, returning this one 74 yards for a touchdown to set the final score at 35-0.
For the game, Bishop McCort had more first downs than Forest Hills (13-10) and more passing yards (75-52), but the Crushers could not overcome the big plays made by the Rangers.
