Nov. 20, 2015 --- John Champe 16 G.W. 13
All good things...
With an extra week to prepare what was already an outstanding football team, the John Champe Knights showed why they have yet to be beaten this year. They survived a slugfest, using a last-minute Field Goal to beat the GW Eagles 16-13 in the second round of the 4A playoffs.
The Eagles started the game off in the hole, flubbing a pooch-kick on the opening kickoff, giving Champe the ball to start the first half. The Knights then used a fake punt to keep their opening drive alive, eventually scoring from 12 yards out to take a 7-0 lead.
After being forced to punt twice, the Eagles' offense got on track. They engineered one of their best drives of the year, going 81 yards in 12 plays, to tie the game at seven midway through the second quarter. The score remained deadlocked until late in the third, when Champe hooked up on a wheel route to score from 64 yards out, taking a 13-7 lead. GW's offense, which had been bottled up in the second half, exploded early in the fourth on a great run from CJ Graves.
A missed extra point kept the score tied at 13-13. But Champe kept pounding away, winning field position. Eventually, they took a short drive and set up a game-winning field goal with 36 seconds left on the clock.
The Eagles closed out a stellar campaign with a 10-2 record!!
