With 10:00 left in the game the score was Burlington 13 to Winston-Salem 7, so this game was not the blowout it ended in until the 4th quarter.  The blowout came from a nice drive and an Anthony Palmer punt return to put Burlington up 27-7.  It was not a stellar performance for the Burlington running game.  Dino Snider had 75yds on 20 carries and Greg Caufield managed only 52yds on 16 carries.  But Thaddeus Schlotter had a strong game 18/31 for 327yds 2TDs 1Int.  And Leon Glenn and Todd Dirks both had big games combinging for 11 receptions and 277yds with 1TD.  The key though to this win for Burlington was their defense that managed 12 sacks on young QB James Martin.  LB Arnold Campbell had 4 sacks and 3 tackles to lead the defense.  Burlington hosts Durham next week in another division matchup.

James Martin has not been spectacular for Winston-Salem but he shows signs of being a good QB.  9/31 for 104yds with 1TD is not a very good game, but under constant pressure and not fumbling or throwing interceptions says something.  HB Frank Klusmire had a good game getting 40yds on only 11 carries.  Perhaps they should have run the ball a bit more.  But no matter they kept in a game into the 4th quarter.  But not able to protect the QB hurts when you're playing comeback.  The defense played better than they have lead by S Mitchell Hislop who had 10 tackles and 1 knockdown.  Myron Collins added 8 tackles and an interception.  The Twins host Greensboro next week and hope to play spoiler to the Patriots dreams of making the playoffs.
