Slingers Cruise Past Great 8’s in 41-14 Blowout Victory

– Cincinnati, Ohio

The Cincinnati Slingers put on a clinical performance to dismantle the Utah Great 8’s in a definitive 41-14 victory. Cincinnati showcased dynamic versatility across all three phases of the game, turning defensive takeaways into quick points to overwhelm Utah.

Defensive Dominance and Special Teams Fireworks
The Cincinnati defense and special teams units stole the show, accounting for three separate touchdowns. Abu Daramy-Swaray flew across the field, recording an interception, a forced fumble, and a defensive touchdown. Shaun Lewis Jr. mirrored that defensive impact by snagging an interception of his own and taking it back for a touchdown.

The most spectacular play of the afternoon came courtesy of safety Gerod Holliman, who scooped up a missed Utah field goal and returned it all the way down the field for a touchdown. Atlias Bell anchored the upfront pressure by recording a sack, while Kendrick Ings showed his two-way ability by securing an interception to go along with his 10 receiving yards.

Balanced Slingers Ground Game
Offensively, Cincinnati relied on a multi-pronged rushing attack to wear down the Utah front. Phillip Barnett acted as the primary engine, catching four passes for 33 yards and rushing twice for four yards, including two crucial rushing touchdowns. Quarterback Charles McCullum calling his own number paid off with a 5-yard rushing score, though he fought through ball-security issues with two fumbles. Calvin Fance provided tough yards out of the backfield, picking up nine yards on two carries.
