Baldwin dominates Oceanside

Lights-out performances from senior running back Alonzo Holcombe and its defense propelled Baldwin to a convincing 34-0 Conference I victory over visiting Oceanside on Friday night before more than 1,000 spectators.

The Bruins, who came off a shutout loss at Freeport, scored on the game’s opening possession and never let up. Holcombe rushed for 215 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries and senior quarterback Nick LoBello passed for a score and ran for another. Baldwin’s defense, which has allowed 13 points in three games, intercepted Sailors junior quarterback Tyler Heuer three times and sacked him three times. Heuer entered the game with a county-leading nine touchdown passes.

“We didn’t think they could run the ball consistently against us,” Bruins coach Steve Carroll said. “We knew we had to do our best to slow down their passing game, and the defense did an incredible job.”
