JV
football took on Brunswick, at Windham, on Monday, September 23rd.
The
Eagles had strong defense right out of the gate and prevented Brunswick from
gaining any
serious yardage early on in the game. Shortly before the end of the
first quarter, Brunswick scored, but Windham’s defense stopped them from
getting a two-point conversion.
In the
second quarter, Windham’s defense didn’t let up. The Eagles gained possession
after Brunswick fumbled. Ryan Bernard, #83, intercepted a pass thrown by
Brunswick and then made it to Brunswick’s 45-yard line. Colby Mizner, #32, made
it all the way to the 15-yard line, but Windham wasn’t able to score before the
end of the half.
Half:
6-0, Brunswick
The
second half told a much different story for Windham than the first. Their
strong defense didn’t let up, as Windham stopped Brunswick several times from
getting closer to the endzone. Despite their strong defense, Brunswick scored
again, 14-0. Alex Yeaton, #29, caught a pass at the 15-yard line and shortly
after, Harrison Boyle, #9, scored and got the two-point conversion; 14-8. The
Eagles were not done.
In the
fourth quarter, Yeaton got to the 40-yard line, then Boyle got to the 32-yard
line, then just outside the five-yard line. Four minutes left in the game. It’s
third and goal. Boyle scored the touchdown. The game is now tied at 14. As the
clock wound down, neither team was able to break the tie and Windham shows one
of the best teams, if not the best team in the conference, that they have what
it takes to compete.
“They
played hard from start to finish,” remarked coach Brandon Champion. “We had
guys in positions they had never played before. They were willing to go out and
do whatever they needed to do to help the team. Our guys showed a lot of grit
in coming back [after being down two touchdowns]. The kids played really hard.”
