The G.W. Eagles passed for more than 170 yards in the first half, then RAN for more than 170 yards in the second half to beat Franklin County, 28-10.  G.W. scored touchdowns on their first three possessions to take a 21-to-3 halftime lead---aided by not one, but two touchdown passes!  In the second half, the ground game took over.  The final touchdown was special, coming just before Coach Newell realized that his brother, Joe, had come all the way from Africa in a surprise visit.  Hear the touchdown and the special reunion here!
