Sept. 5, 2025 --- G.W. 28 Amherst Co. 14
Win #1
The
G.W. Eagles rebounded from a week one loss with a more diverse offense
and a stingy defense. The Eagles made a trip north to Amherst
County and left town with a 28-14 win over the Lancers.
Neither team scored in the first quarter, but the Lancers began the
second quarter driving. They got a nine-yard touchdown run to
take a 7-0 lead. The Eagles wasted no time evening the score, tying the
game at 7-7 a minute later on a short touchdown run.
The Eagles defense kept the Lancers in checked as the G.W. offense
found its groove. Stanford Lipscomb scored a second touchdown to put
the Eagles up 14-7.
After a game in which the Eagles threw for exactly ONE passing yard,
junior Quarterback Octavian Covington took to the air and found Josh
White for a score to put the Eagles up 21-7 at the break.
G.W. wasn't done. They took the second half kickoff an embarked
on a nearly six-minute drive. It was capped by a fantastic
pitch/catch/run to make it 28-7!
