Some things never change as Cipp leads Bellport

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: a Cipp leads Bellport football to a win.

This time it was Braydon Cipp, the captain and star quarterback of Bellport, who was instrumental in the victory this week, guiding his team to a hard-fought 16-7 win over Connetquot. The last name Cipp, of course, is synonymous with Bellport football, and Braydon continues the family legacy with style and poise.

Cipp’s dual-threat abilities were on full display, as he proved to be just as dangerous running the ball as he was throwing it. He rushed for over 100 yards and scored both of Bellport’s touchdowns. Both scores came in the third quarter as Bellport came out of the locker room with renewed energy, appearing revitalized and ready to seize control of the game. His ability to find running lanes and make decisive plays helped his team break a close contest wide open.

Cipp wasn’t done there. He also completed five passes for just under 50 yards and made seven tackles on defense, proving he can impact every phase of the game. His leadership on both sides of the ball set the tone and gave Bellport the edge in a tightly contested matchup.

Connetquot’s Vincent Feraca threw for just under 300 yards in a valiant effort, keeping the game close and testing Bellport’s defense throughout.

Looking ahead, Bellport will aim to climb over .500 with a home game against Commack this weekend. Meanwhile, Connetquot will try to bounce back and improve their 1-1 record when they hit the road to face Northport. If Cipp continues to perform at this level, Bellport fans can expect more thrilling victories and another chapter in the storied legacy of Cipp-led football.
