Oct. 12, 2012 --- G.W. 14 William Fleming 0
Survival of the fittest!
The G.W. Eagles didn't so much win as survive. Going up against a William Fleming team, a week removed from a emotional win over Patrick Henry, the Eagles offense struggled. G.W. managed to flash some defense, pop a couple of big plays, and escape William Fleming with a 14-0 win.
The Eagles punted on their first three possessions, but they also forced three Colonel punts. Travis Jones got a big punt return to set up the Eagles deep in Fleming territory. Akeem Smith did the honors minutes later.
That 7-0 score stood up most of the game. The Eagles forced two Colonel turnovers while the offense continued to struggle. The Eagles stopped a big fourth down play late in the fourth. Then sealed the deal with an all-or-nothing fourth down run.
