The Charlotte Cardinals and Charlotte Tigers battled to a 37-25 Cardinals win Saturday in a bit of classic in North Carolina.
Cardinals Head Coach Jason Zehmke called it a “perfect rivalry game. The score just isn't able to capture the spirit of the game nor that back-and-forth contest.”
For the Tigers, Zachary Cullen led the charge offensively with two impressive tries, while Jameson Beatty and John Teli each added a try of their own. Beatty, the Tigers’ captain, also contributed with a penalty goal and was, overall, the team’s MVP.
For the Cardinals, center Luke Zehmke was very good overall with plenty of yardage gained and a high tackle count. He also scored two tries.
