Bombers Likely Headed Back to Playoffs

Confluence Prep was no match for the Burroughs Bombers by the time they got off the bus.

Early in the game, first-year coach Gus Frerotte cleared his bench as not to ring up 100 or more points against the out-matched opponents.

Burroughs is 7-1, with its only loss to rival MICDS, 45-20. The rest of the games have been well in control. The Bombers scored 45 first quarter points, then put up seven in the second quarter, seven in the third quarter and 14 in the final stanza.

Henry Rogers opened the game by scoring on a fumble recovery and then the Bombers picked up the first of two safeties.

Ezekiel Elliott rushed for TDs of 4, 61 and 50. He has 22 for the season.

Quarterback Davey Holmes has now thrown for 1,078 yards and 18 TDs.

Steven Trulaske returned a punt for a 20-yard TD, and reserve runner Cruz Riley scored on runs of 14 and 19 yards, and Andrew Barnett closed out the rout with a 32 yard interception for a score.

The Bombers host Imagine Prep Saturday at 2 o'clock then close out the district playoffs Oct. 29 at Priory at 1 p.m.
