Burrell dominant against Yough

By Mon Valley Independent

By GEORGE GUIDO

It’s fun times for Burrell under Year Two of coach Shawn Liotta’s regime.

The Bucs put together a solid effort on both sides of the ball Friday night in downing Yough, 40-6, at Buccaneers Stadium in Class 3A Big East Conference play.

Alex Arledge passed for 379 yards and five touchdowns and Zach Miller’s 52-yard interception return with 23 seconds to go put the Bucs at 3-2 overall, surpassing last season’s victory total.

Burrell is now 2-2 in the conference. Yough fell to 1-4, 1-3.

“Our coaching staff is doing a great job getting these guys prepared each and every day,” Liotta said. “Our kids have bought in to what we’re trying to do and you can see by the way we’re playing that we’re having fun. We’re flying around and we’re a family and we’re playing well as a team.”
