Nov. 11, 2016 --- Heritage 39 G.W. 36


Wild Playoff Loss


GW and Heritage combined for 1,000 yards of offense in their playoff opener.  In the end, the visiting Pride scored a late touchdown to end a solid 2016 campaign for the Eagles, 39-36.

The big highlight came in the first quarter.  Kaushawn Forest entered the game needing 26 yards to break the all-time single-season rushing record held by David Wilson.  He did it in style; scoring on a 52-yard run to put the Eagles up 7-0.

A back-and-forth first half saw the Eagles leave the field with a 24-20 lead.  A Sam Branch touchdown gave them a 10-point edge midway through the third.  But the Pride's running game got rolling.  A touchdown and a two-point conversion made it 30-28...then a field goal gave them a one-point lead early in the fourth.

Forest scored his fourth touchdown of the night with eight minutes left to give the Eagles the lead.  After recovering a fumble with five minutes left, the Eagles couldn't  convert and the Pride got the ball back.  They broke the Eagles' hearts with a touchdown with only 22 seconds in the game to seal the win.

GW finishes a rebuilding year with a solid 7-4 record---and tons of promise for the future.
