A strong second half propelled the G.W. Eagles to their first road playoff win in 14 years as they topped Brooke Point, 27-21.  The Eagles had only one play of more than four yards in the entire first half---a 53-yard run from David Wilson.  In the second half, the Eagles forced a fumble on the BlackHawks' first drive.  David Wilson made them pay four plays later.  The Eagles defense then forced a Brooke Point punt.  This time, it took Wilson only three plays to get into the end zone.  But a Brooke Point score with 2:32 remaining appeared to give them a 21-20 lead.   That's when the Eagles took to the air.  Brooke Point got the ball with 1:38 and moved it downfield.  But with 1.5 seconds to go, 21 yards away from paydirt, the Eagles' defense came up big!!  On to the Regional Championship!!
