Sept. 2, 2011 --- G.W. 25 Person Co. 22
Redemption!
A week after missing an extra point that could have sent the season opener to overtime, G.W. Placekicker Jeremiah McGeough was the difference again in week two---in an entirely different way! The Eagles opened the Shrine Game with the first of three touchdowns by Junior Halfback Travis Jones. The Eagles built up a 22-7 lead midway through the third quarter, but Person County responded with a score on the last play of the third. With under five minutes, the Rockets tied the game at 22-22. The Eagles' final possession started with a minute left on their own 30. A clutch third-down screen pass to Alan Smith set the stage for McGeough's heroics with one second left!!!!
