BOX SCORE

BREVARD, N.C. -- Junior quarterback and team captain Carter Sido (Dallas, TX) passed for career-highs of 255 yards and four touchdowns, and sophomore running back Terry Hicks (Clayton, NC) added career-highs of 130 yards rushing and two touchdowns, as Hampden-Sydney College scored 30 unanswered points in the fourth quarter for a 51-30 come-from-behind and non-conference football road win at Brevard College on Saturday afternoon in North Carolina. Senior wide receiver Austin Fernandez (Warrenton) had 99 yards receiving and two touchdowns for the visiting Tigers (1-1), who trailed the host Tornados (0-1) 30-21 after three quarters, while senior linebacker and team captain Brendan Wallace (Virginia Beach) had career-highs of 11 tackles and three sacks—earning first-year head coach Vince Luvara his first victory with the Garnet & Grey.

"Proud of the team's finish," said Luvara. "A lot of teams would have quit there in the third quarter. They finished and that is what being a champion is all about."

BC took the opening possession of the contest and drove 79 yards with Chancellor Lee-Parker scoring on a four-yard touchdown run at 11:08. Hugo Taylor added the first of his four PAT kick for the early 7-0 advantage for the Tornados.

H-SC answered back on its first possession of the day with an eight-play, 66-yard drive that culminated with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Sido to Fernandez in the back of the end zone with 7:50 on the clock. Senior placekicker Elijah Swett (Matthews, NC) added the first of his five PAT kicks to tie the contest at 7-7. Hicks had 23 yards rushing on four attempts during the possession, while Sido connected with redshirt-freshman transfer wide receiver Manning Lasso (Raleigh, NC) for 10 yards—his first reception for the Tigers—and senior tight end and older brother Sutton Lasso (Raleigh, NC) for six yards.

The Garnet & Grey followed with another touchdown on their second possession as Sido found Sutton Lasso over the middle for a 12-yard scoring pass, and the PAT kick by Swett made it 14-7 at 2:02. It was an eight-play, 82-yard drive that featured pass plays of 25 yards from Sido to sophomore wide receiver Ethan Dowdy (Powhatan) and 23 yards from Sido to Manning Lasso, along with an 11-yard run by Sido, and a crucial six-yard pass from Sido to Hicks out of the backfield on fourth and five on the play before the touchdown.

H-SC looked like it had prevented a BC touchdown following a long drive by the Tornados that ended with a fumble at the Tigers' one-yard line late in the second quarter. Unfortunately, after taking over at its own one-yard line, and following a nine-yard run by Hicks, Sido was intercepted on second down by James Woods who scored on the pick 6 at 5:25 of the second quarter. Taylor's PAT kick tied the contest at 14-14, which was the score at halftime after a missed 50-yard field goal attempt by Swett with 23-seconds left in the quarter.

The Tigers got back on the scoreboard with a touchdown on their first possession of the second half, driving 76 yards on eight plays as Sido connected with Dowdy in the end zone for a 30-yard scoring pass on fourth and 19. Swett added the PAT kick for the 21-14 lead at 12:47 of the third quarter. The drive included an 11-yard pass from Sido to Manning Lasso and a nine-yard run by Hicks, and was aided by a pair of 15-yard penalties.

H-SC came right back with an interception by senior cornerback Kyle Lafayette (Charleston, SC) deep in its own territory, but the Tigers yielded a safety when Sido was sacked and fumbled with the recovery in the end zone to make it 21-16 with 10:16 left in the quarter. BC followed the safety with a scoring drive of its own that ended with a three-yard touchdown run by Lee-Parker at 6:56, and the PAT kick by Taylor gave the hosts their first advantage of the day at 23-21.

BC added to its lead late in the third quarter when Lee-Parker scored on a five-yard touchdown run with 1:16 on the clock, and Taylor's PAT kick pushed the margin to 30-21, where it stood after three quarters.

The Garnet & Grey answered back with a 53-yard touchdown pass from Sido to Fernandez down the left side of the field on the first play of the fourth quarter, and Swett's PAT kick made it a two-point game at 30-28 with 14:52 left to play. It was a six-play, 65-yard drive that included a pair of completions from Sido to Manning Lasso covering nine yards.

H-SC made a defensive stop and forced a punt, taking over at its own 34-yard line … promptly driving 66 yards on 11 plays for the go-ahead points with Hicks scoring on a five-yard touchdown run at 8:32. Sido added the successful two-point conversion run for a 36-30 advantage. The possession featured a crucial 36-yard pass from Sido to Fernandez on fourth and five to keep the drive alive.

The Tigers' defense stood tall once-again and forced another Tornados' punt with the offense taking over again, this time at the BC 47-yard line. It took eight plays to reach the end zone with freshman running back Fain Barton (Atlanta, GA) scoring on a 13-yard run with 4:10 left to play. Sido added his second consecutive two-point conversion run for a 44-30 lead. Key to the drive was a fumble recovery by freshman left guard Cash Topinka (Charlotte, NC) on a third down play that he advanced 13 yards for a first down. Barton covered the final 27 yards on three attempts.

The Garnet & Grey defense was stout yet again and this time forced a turnover on downs by the home team following a sack by Wallace on fourth and 10 with 2:58 on the clock.

The visitors were looking to run out the clock on the ground with Hicks, who took a direct snap three plays in and ran 42 yards for the game's final touchdown at 1:25. Swett's PAT kick provided for the final margin of victory and the first win for Coach Luvara.

Sido passed for his career-high 255 yards (19-27-1) and four touchdowns with one interception for H-SC. Hicks rushed for his game-high and career-high 130 yards on a career-high 24 attempts and two touchdowns, adding six yards receiving on one reception.
