Sept. 7, 2018 --- Jefferson Forest 27 G.W. 21

Eagle drop road showdown


It was a game of missed opportunities for the G.W. Eagles.   After a solid first half, Jefferson Forest esablished their running game out of a wishbone in the second half, scoring three touchdowns to knock off the Eagles, 27-21.

GW's second possession resulted in a short touchdown run, set up by an impressive run from Wesley Graves.

JF tied the game with a second-quarter touchdown---but Graves ran in a score with 2:43 before halftime to give the Eagles a 13-7 lead at the break.

In the second half, JF opened with a long drive and scored to tie the game.  But on the first play of the fourth quarter, the Eagles went to the air to re-take the lead.

The fourth quarter was all JF.  They needed only two plays to move the ball 80 yards and score a touchdown to make it a 21-19 Eagles lead.  Then the Cavs scored with 4:40 left to take a 27-21 lead.  A final Eagle drive fell short as the Eagles absorbed their first loss of the year.
