It was an emotion-filled night
at J. T. Christopher Stadium. In addition to closing out their regular
season against the powerful Cave Spring Knights with a district title on the
line, the G.W. Eagles also spent halftime dedicating a memorial to former
coaches Alger Pugh, Sonny Wall, and Eddie Martin.

Cave Spring got an early
7-0 lead, but G.W. recovered a muffed punt, then converted
on fourth down to tie the game. To the left, Antonio
Fitzgerald's touchdown pass was the one that tied it up.

| Cave Spring scored again,
but G.W. blocked the extra point to make it 13-7. Late in the
first half, another fourth-down
pass got G.W. into the end zone. To the right, Antonio
Fitzgerald takes it to the house! Berkeley Furgurson made the extra
point to give the Eagles a 14-13 lead. |

In the second half, Cave
Spring missed a 50-yard Field Goal, but a penalty on G.W. set up a
45-yard attempt. Chris McDuffie blocked
it to preserve the lead. With 2:00 left, Cave Spring lined up for
a game-winning 25-yard Field Goal. It was NO
GOOD! G.W. wins 14-13!!! To the left, players look over the
