Bradford’s Cabrera makes his mark


Here are some noteworthy items from the 51st meeting between Bradford and Tremper — a 48-23 Bradford victory — Thursday night at Ameche Field:

* Bradford fullback Henry Cabrera entered the game with 29 carries for 200 yards and two touchdowns. He finished with 17 carries for 160 yards and four TDs. The 160 yards was the 14th-highest total in the history of the rivalry. Bradford coach Jed Kennedy dismissed the notion that it was the junior’s breakout game. “We knew that he was good all along,” Kennedy said. “He played a little bit as a sophomore last year. We just really haven’t needed a fullback. We knew he was there.” View Article
