A
crazy 1:09 stretch late in the game gave Eagles' fans some PTSD Friday
night. Two years ago at Bassett, the rapidly erased a 21-point
lead to stun the G.W. Eagles in overtime, 50-to-43. On Friday,
they very nearly did themselves even better. They cut a 31-point
deficit to 10 in 1:09 of action, but the Eagles held on for a 31-21
road win.
The Eagles dominated the first half, rolling up 248 yards to Bassett's
57. Jaden Glenn made another personal highlight reel with a
scintillating 45-yard touchdown run in the
first half. Glenn got hurt, but backup Alex Brandon added to
scores, and kicker Cam Stephens nailed a 30-yard field goal to give
G.W. a 24-0 halftime lead.
The Eagles came out strong in the second, going to the air
to extend their lead to 31-0. With five minutes left in the game,
things got interesting. Bassett nailed a 69-yard wheel route to make it
31-7. They then recovered an onside kick. They used two
questionable pass interference calls to set up a 20-yard TD pass to
make it 31-14. Then ANOTHER on-side kick recovery. ANOTHER
pass interference call, and ANOTHER touchdown pass. In 1:09 of
play they had trimmed the Eagles' lead to 31-21.
G.W. FINALLY recovered an onside kick and was able to run out the clock.
