BRADFORD, PA — After two weeks on the road, the Bradford football team returned back to the Parkway Field nest to lick their wounds, having suffered back-to-back defeats while away. However, their troubles would follow them home as Brookville came into town and posted a 49-27 victory.
The Owls were slow to start, with their offense failing to get significant gains as their defense quickly gave up a 21-0 lead. Finally getting their engines to fire, Bradford began clawing back into the game. The effort proved to be too-little-too-late as they were unable to close the gap, instead falling to 1-3 on the season.
Tommy Langdon scored three times for the Owls, rushing into the endzone twice while the third came via pick-six. Lucas Wallace found Max Gow for a late-game touchdown.
