Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Shiprock). In a tight matchup that could have gone either way, they made off with a 19-18 victory over the Crownpoint Eagles. Surprisingly, this marked the Chieftains' fifth straight game in which the away team has come away the victor.
Shiprock can attribute much of their success to Blake Begay, who threw for 132 yards and two TDs on only 12 passes, and also punched in one score on the ground. Those two passing touchdowns gave Begay a new career-high.
Shiprock didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Arnesto Manygoat and Zach Billy.
