Williams touched the ball just three times Saturday and scored on each one – the 31-yard TD pass from Sandod and TD runs of 15 and 33 yards.Tyrone Bogan, who broke a 62-yard TD run, led the Barons’ ground game with 112 yards on eight carries; Sandod rushed seven times for 76 yards.Brussels (0-5, 0-4) closed its season. The Brigands were scheduled to travel to Sigonella this Saturday before the Jaguars suspended their season for having too few players. The Brigands, who got 104 rushing yards from Zach Jackson and 10 tackles and a fumble recovery from Alden MacGraw, will finish the season 1-5, 1-4 after collecting their forfeit from Sigonella, but are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.
