Cleveland jumps ahead, holds off Hurricanes, 18-15

Cleveland first-year coach Scott Cummings walked off East Hamilton’s football field Friday night secure in the fact there would be a celebration on the bus ride home.

“I will warn the bus driver,” Cummings told his squad.

An 18-15 victory over the Hurricanes should serve warning that the Blue Raiders, albeit youthful and mistake-ridden at times, are a team to be reckoned with in a season that one can only hope is as exciting as the show the two squads put on display.

And in a game filled with big plays and momentum shifts, the biggest play of the night came when junior Skyler Davis turned a hunch into a 91-yard interception return for a score that provided the Blue Raiders (1-1) with their only points in the final half.
