2023 Week 8

It was a record-setting night for G.W. Friday as they won their third game in a row. The offensive line pummeled the Halifax County Blue Comets as the Eagles set an all-time record for yards in a game, en route to a 69-14 win at Tuck Dillard Stadium.

The Eagles scored on their second play of the game, with Elijah Bridges scoring the first of his four touchdowns on the night. While the Eagles' defense was holding the high-powered Comet offense to a pair of first-half touchdowns, their offense was scoring at will. Jaden Glenn scored two first-half touchdowns. Quarterback Neo Cabell also found Kemori Dixon on a 22-yard scoring strike. Late in the first half, Glenn tossed an option touchdown pass to Tony Matos as the Eagles amassed a 55-14 halftime lead.

At the break, the Eagles had already compiled 379 rushing yards and 110 yards in the air, for a whipping 488 yards of offense!

With the margin the entire second half was played with a scrolling clock. But it was enough for two more Eagle touchdowns, including a 47-yard interception return for a score by Ishaun Myers.

The Eagles ended up with 623 yards of offense. That breaks the old record of 600 set in 2018 against Martinsville.
