Oct. 30, 2015 --- G.W. 49 Halifax Co. 0
Another shutout sets up a showdown!
The Eagles had to work for it this time, but a four-score second quarter and another stellar defensive effort added up to a 49-0 homecoming win over Halifax County.
Despite forcing a staggering four first-quarter turnovers, GW was only up 7-0 going into the second. Their only first-quarter score came directly from a turnover.
But GW rebounded with a 28-point second quarter, featuring two more touchdowns from C.J. Graves, and a super fade pattern from Sam Branch to Donald Smith. Henry Barley got his own pick-six to round out the first-half scoring.
In the second half, the Eagles scored twice---including a long run from Brionne Towler to close out the scoring.
The Eagles return to Danville this Friday for a Piedmont District showdown against Magna Vista for the district title!
