HARRISONBURG — Despite a strong performance from tight end Mark Andrews, the Charleston Crabs couldn’t best the Harrisonburg Valley Bees. The Crabs dropped their third straight game, 111.24-95.42.
Andrews scored the second-highest points from the team and scored a touchdown to give Charleston a much-needed 24.60 score. Quarterback Matthew Stafford continued his steady performance from this season, putting up 253 passing yards and a touchdown for 30.82.
However, the Valley Bees found a way for both quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and wide receiver Tyree Hill to score over 30 points each, in addition to a 16.90 score from wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to give Harrisonburg enough to secure the win.
Stafford, now entering Week 7 on a three-game skid, said the Crabs are continuing to focus on each week individually despite what the record says.
“It can get frustrating sometimes when you have so many passionate guys who want to succeed but can’t seem to make it happen,” Stafford said. “But football is a game where there’s one winner and one loser every week. So we just have to find a way to make ourselves the winner next week.”
Next up, Charleston (1-5) returns to Boeing Stadium to host the Omaha Cobs (2-4) hoping to snap the losing streak. The Harrisonburg Valley Bees (4-2) will travel to face the Mexico City Manatees (4-2) in a battle for second place in Section 2.
