Nov. 9, 2018 --- Pulaski
Co. 17 G.W. 14
Tough way to end the season
It
was a hard-nosed defensive battle where one team outgained the other by
a mere three yards. In the end a VERY long field goal was the
difference as the Pulaski County Cougars came to Danville to knock off
the GW Eagles 17-14. The game was moved from J.T. Christopher
Stadium to Averett University because of field conditions.
The
Cougars struck first, embarking on a remarkable 13-play, 66-yard drive
that included four consecutive third down conversions. Their
touchdown gave them a 7-0 lead. Early in the second, the Cougars
kicked a 46-yard field goal to stretch their lead to 10-0. But
the Eagles answered just before halftime to make it a 10-6 game at the break.
In the second half the Eagles came out strong. They took the kickoff downfield and punctated the drive with a thrilling touchdown. The two-point conversation gave GW a 14-10 lead.
The
defenses took over from that point, but Pulaski County steadily
improved their field position. They scored with just over eight
minutes left to take a 17-14 lead.
On the Eagles' final drive,
they moved as close as the 25-yard line. A fourth down pass into
the end zone was incomplete, largely because the intended receiver was
knocked over.
The Eagles end their 2018 eason with a solid 8-3 record.
