The offensive and defensive stars for Spanish Fort eventually emerged as the Toros rolled to a 41-19 win over McGill-Toolen on Thursday night in a key Class 6A, Region 1 game.The Toros scored on an 88-yard blocked field-goal return and a 42-yard punt return, both by junior linebacker Bishop Burkhalter, to establish a 13-0 lead that was never overcome.
The two special teams returns were the first touchdowns of Burkhalter’s Spanish Fort career. The first came after Cole McConathy blocked a short field goal. The second came at the end of a strange set of circumstances. “I was manifesting that play all week,” Burkhalter said of the punt return. “I knew if they punted it short, I was going to pick it up and run it. When I got the ball in my hands I kicked in my inner Bobby Boucher and took off. I knew if I fumbled or I didn’t score I was going to get chewed out.”
