Nov. 16, 2001 --- G.W. 42 GarField 35 (4ot)

Are you kidding me!?!?


The fumble that sealed the deal!!


Bobby Martin goes over defensive strategy

We'll be talking about this one for years!  The longest game in G.W.'s football history has vaulted the Eagles into the Northwest Regional Championship game for the first time since 1996. G.W. and GarField battled to a 7-7 tie at half.  G.W.'s Bryon Martin scored in the 4th to give G.W. a 14-7 lead.  But a fumble set up GarField for a game-tying touchdown with a minute left in regulation. In overtime, both teams scored touchdowns and made their extra points in the first three overtimes.  It was 35-35 when Raheem Venable scored in the 4th OT to give G.W. a 42-35 lead.  Then GarField got the ball. We had 'em all the way!!!!!!!!!!!
