A pair of early turnovers helped put Charleroi behind by two scores in the first quarter of Friday’s 34-14 loss to Brentwood in Century Conference play at Myron Pottios Stadium. The Cougars (1-7, 0-5) fumbled on each of their first two drives, leading to a 2-yard touchdown run by Brentwood’s Daelinn Drew and a 38-yard touchdown pass from Cedric Davis to Tavian Miller. The scores allowed Brentwood (3-6, 2-3) to build a 13-0 lead after one quarter, and Charleroi was unable to muster enough offense to rally back.
