Green Run 34 Cox 9
VIRGINIA BEACH - The Stallions survived some sloppy play and an abundance of penalties to remain unbeaten.
Green Run (7-0 overall, 6-0 in the Beach District) remains tied for first in the Beach District with Kempsville, a 17-0 winner over Tallwood.
The Stallions lost two fumbles and had 90 yards in penalties, but overcame the mistakes with 301 yards of total offense. Meanwhile, the Stallions defense was holding Cox (1-6, 1-5) to minus-5 yards rushing and only 42 yards total offense.
For the second week in a row, Green Run started Edward Cuffee at quarterback, choosing to rest the sore ankle of Glenwood Ferebee. Cuffee responded with 50 yards rushing and 59 passing - including scoring strikes of 4 yards to Ben Root and 35 to Plaxico Burress. He also rushed for Green Run's first touchdown on a 1-yard sneak.
