Urbana, IL-(ENEWSPF)- The Rich East Rockets scored a solid win over the Urbana Tigers 36-6 Friday in Urbana, Illinois. After a scoreless first half, the Rockets put up 28 points in the 3rd quarter to the Tigers’ 6.
Those six points were all the Tigers could muster. The Rockets notched another 8 points in the 4th quarter to finish the game with a solid 36.
On what may be the understatement of the game, head coach Cornell Middlebrook responded to a request for comment with a simple, “Varsity won 36-6.”
The school sponsored a fan bus that left from Rich East at 3:30 p.m. Friday. Kick-off for the game was scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
