I thought Beaufort Backup QB Daniel Phares who played this whole game had a great night leading the Beaufort Offense. Beaufort's starting QB Tyler Haley was injured in the Effingham County Game and did not play this week. I am not sure how long Haley will be out. I wish him a speedy recovery. Phares had a great night with 2 rushing TDS and 1 Passing TD on the night.
Beaufort's Defense played the best that I have seen them play so far this season. They put the pressure on Bluffton QB Lee Kirkland and really kept him in check for most of the night. Beaufort's DB'S did a pretty good job limiting the amount of catches that the Bobcat WR'S had. But Bluffton did help Beaufort out by their receivers dropped about 12 passes that should have been caught.
Beaufort won despite having a lot of penalties and fumbling the ball on 3 onside kicks by Bluffton and also fumbling a punt. The Eagles need to work on limiting the costly penalties and also getting some players that can catch kickoffs and punts. I also wondered why Beaufort did not try and block the Bluffton FieldGoal tries. The Eagles need to try and block the FG'S next game.
I was so happy to see the HUGE CROWD at this game. This was the biggest crowd that I have seen at Beaufort in awhile. It was Homecoming for Beaufort. Beaufort seems to always find a way to win on Homecoming.
This was a big win for Beaufort as they improve to 1-5 Overall but more Importantly 1-0 in Region 7 4A. The Eagles have a great chance to win the Region Title this season. Next up for Beaufort is their last Non-Region game of the season against Undefeated May River next Friday Night and then they finish the season with 2 HUGE REGION 7 4A Games against Hilton Head and Colleton County. So even though The Eagles started the season 0-5 with a killer schedule they have a really good shot at being Region Champs. We shall see.
I want to say a BIG CONGRATS to Beaufort Head Football Coach Bryce Lybrand on winning his 1st game as a Head Football Coach. I am so happy for him. I wish him many more wins at Beaufort.
I have been celebrating this Big Win by Beaufort all Weekend!!!!

GO BEAUFORT EAGLES!!!!
