Cougars shut out Basic, get Southeast’s No. 1 seed

Coronado used a smothering defense Thursday to lock up the top seed in the Southeast League with a 30-0 home win over Basic.

Coronado limited Basic to 56 yards rushing and forced three second-half turnovers.

Cougars quarterback Spencer Cofer threw two touchdown passes and kicked a 42-yard field goal. Jordan Patterson scored the final touchdown of the game for Coronado (6-3, 3-1 Southeast) and paced a balanced rushing attack with 44 yards on the ground, while Travis Boman caught six passes for 68 yards and a touchdown.

Aeneas McAllister threw for 130 yards for the Wolves (4-5, 1-3), whose closest foray into Coronado territory ended in a missed 36-yard field goal late in the second quarter. Dallon Ellett caught seven passes for 68 yards for Basic, the fourth seed in the Southeast.
