Piedmont
ThreePeat!
For
the third year in a row, the Piedmont District champsion came down to
the winner of the G.W./Magna Vista football game. And for the third
year in a row, the Eagles took the crown.
After a strong start by the Eagles, and a strong comeback by the
Warriors, G.W.'s massive offensive line and special quarterback took
the air out of the ball in the second half, scoring touchdowns on all
three possessions to power to a 45-19 win.
The Eagles stormed out of the gate, getting a touchdown pass on their
first drive. On their second drive they fell short of the end zone, but
executed their first field goal of the year to stretch the margin out
to 10-0.
On the first play of the second quarter the Eagles dialed long-distance with a young man who had not carried the ball since week 4!
But the Eagles' 17-0 lead was short-lived. Magna Vista scored to make
it 17-6. The Eagles fumbled during the kickoff return, giving the
Warriors the ball. They scored again to make it 17-13 at the break.
Magna Vista drove the ball to open the second half, but an E.J. Linder
interception gave the Eagles the ball back. And then the line took
over. Three possessions...three touchdowns! A strip and a score from
DNH rounded out the scoring as the Eagles win their third straight
Piedmont District title!!
