ELMORE CITY — Turnovers caused a lack of offense for Bray-Doyle as they drop their season opener to Elmore City-Pernell 64-0.

The Donkeys started off strong with a fumble recovery to give them the ball on the 41-yard line. However, two plays later Elmore City scored off of a 56-yard fumble return by Cody Ballard.

Bray-Doyle never could catch back up.

“We just made a lot of mistakes,” Bray-Doyle head coach Warren Butler said after the loss. “You go out and mess up and make a mistake and let them capitalize off of it.”

The Donkeys finished the night with 76 yards of total offense. Jesse Barton led the Donkeys with 40 yards rushing.

“We made a lot of mistakes, but they’re good kids and they work hard,” said Butler. “We’re just gunna go and look at the film and go from there.”
