Brock had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 12-10 win over the Graham Steers on Friday. For the Eagles, this counts as revenge for the 38-0 victory the Steers walked away with the last time they faced one another back in November.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Brock's defense and their three sacks. Davin Magga was especially locked on to Graham's QB and sacked him twice. Magga is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least five every time he's taken the field this season. Another thorn in Graham's side was Tyler Kirk, who picked up a sack and made 13 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
When it comes to explaining why Graham lost, don't look at Ty Thompson. Despite the final result, he threw for 170 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 54 yards.
The win was the fifth in a row for Brock, bringing their record for this year to 13-1. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 46.4 points per game. As for Graham, the loss snapped their winning streak at 11 games and leaves them with a 12-2 record.
