On a soggy night, the Eagles overcame the elements and miscues to outlast visiting Glenville, 13-12, in nonconference play. It is the third consecutive season that the game was determined by one possession.
“This was tough tonight and I’m so proud of our kids for their toughness and resiliency,” added Elder. “It wasn’t easy, but we’re happy to get out of here with a win.” They turned it into a 31-yard field goal by Owen Warrick to take a 10-0 lead with four minutes to go in the first quarter. Running back Chris Newell Jr. paced the Tarblooders’ offense. Following the first takeaway, he found a crease and raced 68 yards to cut the deficit to four, 10-6. The junior totaled a game-high 92 yards on 21 carries, with 81 coming in the first half.
The Eagles opened the third quarter with their best drive of the night, travelling 74 yards in six plays. All-Ohio quarterback Nolan Good was the catalyst, completing a 35-yard pass to Grant Barr and a 40-yarder to Cole Kepner. It led to another field goal by Warrick .
