GW survived a lackluster first-half offensive performance and scored a big district road win over a previously-unbeaten Halifax County team.  A pair of third-quarter touchdowns helped GW pull away, en route to a 34-16 win at Tuck Dillard Memorial Stadium.

After a sloppy first half the Eagles carried a 13-9 edge into the break.  The first touchdown was a short pass from Jeb Byrnes to Will Daniel.  The Eagles extended the lead on their second drive of the third quarter, then went to the air to put it out of reach.

The Eagles defense held the Comets to only 129 yards of offense as they improved to 5-1.
