JACKSON. - Three defensive touchdowns fueled the Belhaven Football team to a 41-26 victory over Greensboro College on Saturday afternoon at Belhaven Bowl Stadium. The Blazers improved to 4-2 overall and 3-0 in USA South play with the win.

After a Greensboro fumble return for a touchdown opened the scoring, Belhaven steadied itself with a 42-yard field goal from Lyndell Boatman late in the first quarter to make it 7-3. The Blazers took control in the second quarter, beginning with a safety when Austin Maloney sacked the quarterback in the end zone to cut the deficit to 7-5.

On the next offensive possession, quarterback Brock Morris led an 88-yard scoring drive capped by a 12-yard touchdown strike to RJ Garrison, giving Belhaven its first lead of the game at 12-7. Greensboro added a field goal just before halftime, and the Blazers entered the break ahead 12-10.

Icarius Hodgin delivered the first blow, returning an interception 28 yards for a touchdown to extend the lead to 20-10. Moments later, Luke Handy picked off another pass and took it to the end zone, pushing the advantage to 34-10 late in the third quarter.
