Brentwood (6-5) got a statement win on Friday night in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs.
In beating Memphis Central 52-7, the Bruins proved not just that they belong in the postseason, but that they are a dangerous team.
No. 3 seed Brentwood went all the way to No. 2 seed Memphis Central (7-4), and felt right at home. Quarterback Carson Croy threw more touchdowns (3) than incomplete passes (2) while Ahmad Arnold and Collin Rudolph beat down the Memphis Central defense with power running.
The Bruins defense held the Warriors to 180 yards of total offense- with just 36 yards rushing on 15 carries- and had three interceptions.
Meanwhile Brentwood totaled 355 yards on offense.
