Bloomfield defense sets tone in rivalry win
CROFTON - Bloomfield waited 23 years for an opportunity to play their rivals again, and they didn't waste the opportunity.
The Bees beat Crofton Friday, 28-10. It was the first time the former NENAC rivals had played in football since 1999.
The Warriors were in control early, taking advantage of early Bloomfield miscues to take a 10-0 lead.
But the Bees' defense settled in, giving up just 23 yards in the second half and just 161 overall, as the offense rattled off 28 unanswered points to get the win.
The loss was Crofton's first as an eight-man program, while Bloomfield is 2-0 to start a season for the second straight time.
