Harvard hands Burlington Central 4th straight loss

What took nearly 24 hours to complete took visiting Harvard just over seven minutes to finish.

The Hornets and Rockets resumed play Saturday with the game tied 14-14 and with the Hornets on their own 6-yard line and 9:51 left to play, which was where the Big Northern East game stood Friday night when it was suspended due to lightning.

Harvard then used a 13-play, 94-yard drive that was capped by a 12-yard run by Liam Joyce with 2:45 left in the game to come away with a 20-14 win.

Burlington Central (0-4, 0-2) was unable to make any use out of its four plays from scrimmage after that and turned the ball over to the Hornets (2-2, 1-1), who subsequently ran out the clock.
