Bayside punches ticket to third straight semifinal following 50-28 win over Cottage Hill

Posted

Bayside Academy punched its third straight ticket to a semifinal round by dismantling Cottage Hill to the tune of a 50-28 scoreline Friday in Daphne.

Per usual, the Admirals were led by junior quarterback Davis Barnett, who threw for an efficient 364 yards and pair of scores.

But the true star of the night may have been do-it-all senior Sam Cunningham, as the two-way player tallied 105 rushing yards, 108 receiving yards, three touchdowns, 3.5 tackles and a trio of pass breakups.

Elsewhere on the Bayside defense, junior linebacker Riggins Hammock picked off two passes while also leading his team with seven tackles.

Barrett Trotter's squad tallied 498 total yards of offense while averaging 6.6 yards per play, producing another successful night for the unit.

A date with fellow top seed Montgomery Academy now awaits the Admirals in the Private Single-A Semifinals.
