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.
