Bethune-Cookman football earns Volusia bragging rights with historic win vs. Stetson
Bethune-Cookman beat Stetson 43-18 in the first meeting between the two Volusia County schools on Sept. 12. Here are three takeaways.
Bethune-Cookman's football team secured a dominant 43-18 victory over Stetson in their inaugural meeting, marking the first win of the Wildcats' young 2026 season. The game, delayed by lightning, saw Bethune-Cookman overcome a 73-6 loss to UCF in their Week 1 opener. Starting running back Rashon Brown played a pivotal role with three touchdowns, while Amari Jones stepped in as the quarterback to deliver a crucial 45-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.
Bethune-Cookman's strong performance is expected to provide momentum as they prepare for another home game against Division II Virginia-Lynchburg in Week 3. Stetson, who had a 45-10 win over NAIA Webber International in Week 1, will need to regroup and reassess their strategy heading into the remainder of the season.
