Benton Harbor Scores 6 to Berrien Springs’ 51 Points
By Jason Wolf
Penalties put the Tigers behind, and the Shamrocks took advantage of field position to win the first game of the season on Friday, August 28, 2026.
On the first drive of the game, Benton Harbor repeatedly violated the play clock, and delay of game penalties pushed the Tigers back towards their own goal line. The Shamrocks tackled Senior #1 O'vertus Franklin for a safety and the first points of the game.
Berrien Springs’ Junior quarterback Brealin Hurst returned to lead the Shamrocks for a second season. The son of Brandon Hurst who played for the Tigers and graduated in 2007, Brealin’s running, passing, and kicking points after touchdowns put the Rocks out of reach. Brealin Hurst, who ran his PB 10.73 seconds in the 100 meters on May 15, 2026, proved to be the fastest player on the field.
The highlight for Benton Harbor came at the end of the 1st quarter when Sophomore quarterback #7 Isaiah Cornelius’ threw a long pass to #5 Benjamin Varrie to score the only points for the Tigers with a 72-yard touchdown.
