Sept. 16, 2011 --- Churchland 31  G.W. 22


Another tough road loss

There were two great comebacks in this game, but for Eagle fans, the wrong team came out on top.   G.W. opened with a nine-play, 52-yard drive to go up 7-0.   It remained that way until the 1:51 mark of the second quarter.   In the next 58 seconds, Churchland blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown, then connected on a long TD pass to take a 13-7 lead into the break.   The Truckers scored late in the third quarter to take a 19-7 lead---but the Eagles stormed back!   Devonta Ballard hit Chris Burton with a super 27-yard scoring strike with 6:48 left to close the deficit to 19-14.   Then, Travis Jones scored his second touchdown of the night to give the Eagles a 22-19 lead with two minutes left.   Churchland then engineered an improbable touchdown drive, scoring the winning touchdown with :49 seconds left.   The Truckers then picked off a last-second pass and returned it for a score, giving them a nine-point margin.
