G.W. sputters in road loss

The G.W. Eagles' frustrating season continued in their Piedmont District opener.  Despite a solid rushing attack and 14 first downs, the Eagles were stopped on several promising drives and couldn't pierce the scoreboard.  They absorbed a 14-0 road loss to the unbeaten Martinsville Bulldogs.

The two teams battled to a scoreless tie in the first half.  Three of the four Eagle drives ended on failed fourth-down conversions, including a fourth-and-goal at the three.  The defensive struggle continued into the second half.  Late in the third quarter, the Bulldogs took advantage of a questionable non-fumble call to score and make it 7-0.

With a minute left in the game, Martinsville lined up for a field goal that would save sealed the win.  But the Eagles blocked it, giving themselves the football and a chance.  Unfortunately Rashawn Dickerson picked off the pass and returned it for a touchdown, giving the Bulldogs a 14-0 win.
