The GW Eagles survived the weather and a couple of unfortunate calls to
win their third in a row Thursday night.
They outlasted the Staunton River Golden Eagles 17-to-13 at Christopher
Stadium.
Staunton River scored on their first possession to take a 7-0
lead. GW struggled on offense, with one touchdown being called
back on a penalty.
The Eagles answered early in the second quarter with a nifty run
from Jaden Glenn to tie the game. Six minutes later, Cam Stephens
converted a 35-yard field goal to put the Eagles up for the first time.
The Eagles had a 10-7 halftime lead as the skies opened up. But the Eagles ground-and-pound attack
finally got a score late in the third.
The Eagles burned nine minutes off the clock before turning the ball
over on downs. The Golden Eagles got a Hail Mary pass to move the
ball into Eagle territory. They then got a HIGHLY questionable
pass interference call, which the refs mis-marked to give Staunton
River an additional 10 yards. They scored on a fade pattern to make it
17-13.
Fortunately the Eagles recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock to take home their third win in a row!
