Vero Beach Crunches Miami Northwestern

     The Vero Beach Indians held off the Miami Northwestern Bulls 19-13 at Billy Livings Field in Indian River County on Friday night. It was a rare meeting between two high schools that have shown their dominance in their own counties over the last decade. 

     Miami Northwestern(0-1) at one point did have a 13-6 lead. Vero Beach(1-0) evened it up 13-13 in the third quarter as quarterback Tyler Aaronson scrambled in on the right side from three yards out. Aaronson would score again from one yard away up the middle with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter. 

     The Indians remain home next week and challenge the Palm Beach Gardens Gators. The Bulls face the Jackson Generals in a week.
