Senior Keyonte Francis made his first varsity start at quarterback and scored two touchdowns rushing. His 42-yard run on the first play from scrimmage was set-up by a Josh Zenkert 40-yard kick-off return to open the game. The 2nd touchdown by Francis came two plays after Matt Gorta recovered a Keystone fumble at the Wildcat 1-yard line.

Francis became the 3rd quarterback to start a game this season for Brookside after senior Cody Shinsky suffered a broken collarbone in three places during final scrimmage and had surgery. Freshmen Cameron Drew suffered a concussion last week against Lutheran West.
