Presbyterian defeats Campbell 31-14

Campbell quarterback Elijah Burress (14) 

BUIES CREEK, N.C. --  The Prebyterian Blue Hose handed the Campbell Camels their first loss of the season Saturday evening in Barker-Lane Stadium.  

Darrell Bridges rushed for a game-high 159 yards and a touchdown, while quarterback Will Brock tossed a pair of touchdowns to help the Blue Hose (1-2) notch their first victory of the season.  

Campbell (2-1) had three defensive players with double-digit tackles, led by Daniel Bostick, who had a school record 16.  Offensively, Campbell struggled to score points, trailing Presbyterian 24-6 at halftime.  

Elijah Burress passed for 130 yards, including a 28 yard touchdown to Jared Joyner in the second quarter.  Former Southern Durham (my alma mater) standout Kaleb Barfield had an 18 yard acrobatic catch, setting up Joyner's touchdown grab.  Senior running back De'Shawn Jones scored Campbell's lone points of the second half on a 1 yard plunge in the fourth quarter.  

Campbell will open up Pioneer Football League play this Saturday as the Camels play host to the Butler Bulldogs.  Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. at Barker-Lane Studium.
