Game Recap
The Eagles withstood a gritty performance from the Upson-Lee Knights to run their record to 8-0 with a 41-7 victory. The Kights’ seldom seen split-back veer offense kept the Eagles’ defense on their heels at times, but when the Knights threatened the endzone, the Eagle defense bowed their neck and only allowed one touchdown.
Junior quarterback Marques Ivory had a near flawless passing night in completing 8 of his 9 attempted passes for 185 yards and three touchdowns. Jacobi Rodriquez was the recipient of 2 of those TD passes in his 4 reception – 105 yard night. Nick Bass caught 3 balls for 75 yards and one touchdown, and he also returned 4 punts for a 25.8 yard average.
