The Boston Bandits (3-0) wasted no time clipping the Hawks' wings when they put up 21 first quarter points. The Bandits opened the scoring when QB Clarzell Pearl found WR Jay Blot open in the middle of the field for a 38 yard catch and touchdown run. The Defense matched the intensity in their first appearance when DB Ty Brooks and LB Greg Dominique hit different players on the same play causing their helmets to go airborn. The Bandits scored quickly again on a 25 yard touchdown by JT Harold. The defense would not be out shined as Leighton Lormeus intercepted a wayward pass, taking it 40 yards back for a pick 6. Leighton would later add a second INT and a fumble recovery on his night. The Bandits would continue the onslaught in the 2nd quarter when John McElrath darted into the endzone after nice catches by Omar Phillip and Jeff Similien brought the ball into the red-zone. Miguel Oliva added a 35 yard field goal in the 3rd quarter to his 4 first half PAT's, upping the lead to 31-0. After Daryl Sweet's reception got the Bandits in range, RB Bobby Simpson added another score as he ran over a defender at the goal line after a ten yard toss. The Hawks threatened to score on their last possession of the game but came up empty on a 4th down attempt inside the Bandit red-zone, keeping the shut out intact at 37-0. The Bandits next play the Lowell Nor'easter, the defending NEFL Champions, on Saturday August 7th (location to be determined).
