It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Eagleville had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They strolled past the McEwen Warriors with points to spare, taking the game 42-28. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Eagles considering their seven-point performance the contest before.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Eagleville to victory, but perhaps none more so than Benton Fox, who rushed for 22 yards and two TDs, and also threw for 86 yards and one touchdown while completing 77.8% of his passes. Another back making a difference was Jonathan Jordan, who rushed for 93 yards and one score.
Eagleville's run defense was locked in: McEwen could only muster 3.2 yards per carry. The Eagles didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 5.9.
When it comes to explaining why McEwen lost, don't look at Tylon Carter. Despite the final result, he threw for 123 yards and one touchdown while completing 73.3% of his passes, and also punched in one TD on the ground.
Eagleville has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 12.4 points on average over those games.
