<p><strong>LANCASTER | </strong>On a cool Friday night, the Lancaster Bruins used a heavy run attack to wear down Fort Mill's defense and hang on for a 32-27 victory.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lancaster grabbed the lead very early on in the game, built it to as big as 32-14 at one point in the game and was never was in any serious danger of losing this one.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A team total of 366 rushing yards was more than enough to wear down a Fort Mill defense that was on the field for what felt like the entirety of the game.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The star of the night was undoubtedly quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1165128' first='RJ' last='Brown']</strong> (pictured) who broke loose for a 63-yard run in the first quarter that got Lancaster out to a 7-0 lead that they never lost at any point.</p>

<p><em><strong>LANCASTER STANDOUTS</strong></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1165128' first='RJ' last='Brown'] | </strong>Brown totaled 226 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries. He added 26 yards in the air on one completion to <strong>Demarius Hammond</strong>. Brown's shiftiness and quickness allowed him to get separated from defenders.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Dee Mobley | </strong>The running back collected 131 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. His physical downhill running and ability to break tackles made it difficult for the Fort Mill defenders to bring him down in the open field.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1157815' first='Kevin' last='Peay']</strong> <strong>| </strong>The big offensive and defensive lineman was a wrecking ball on both sides of the ball. His lead blocking on run plays and disruption in the backfield when he was on defense made him one of the more fun players to watch.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>De'Vante Fisher | </strong>The cornerback put the game away in the fourth quarter when he returned an interception 99 yards for a touchdown with less than two minutes remaining.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Demarlow Jackson | </strong>Jackson, along with Peay, was in the backfield all night wreaking havoc on the Fort Mill running game. He was also outstanding on the offensive line.</p>

<p><strong><em>FORT MILL STANDOUTS</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1149056' first='Quinn' last='Kelly'] | </strong>Despite several drops from receivers and below average offensive line play, the Fort Mill quarterback hung in there and finished the night 16-of-36 for 224 yards and a touchdown. He also had eight rushing attempts for 35 yards and a touchdown.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Josiah Mckinzie | </strong>One of Kelly's favorite targets on the evening, he hauled in five catches for 47 yards and a touchdown.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Braylon Thomas | </strong>Kelly's other top target, Thomas had five receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1267211' first='Gray' last='Patterson'] | </strong>Patterson was the best player on the Fort Mill defense until his injury in the second quarter. He intercepted [player_tooltip player_id='1165128' first='RJ' last='Brown'] on the first play of the game and seemed to be in on every tackle while he was in the game.</p>
