Escambia County Eagles Over Ernest Ward Golden Eagles, 26-6
September 26, 2008
The Escambia County Middle School Eagles downed the Ernest Ward Middle School Golden Eagles Thursday evening in Walnut Hill.
The Big Green ended the game with a 26-6 win over EWMS in a hard fought battle of the Eagles.
Atmore hit the score board first early in the first quarter, returning a Ernest Ward punt for a touchdown. Kevin Bell stopped the two point conversion in the backfield for the Golden Eagles.
Escambia County added another half dozen with 5:46 in the second quarter of play on a long pass, and they made the two point conversion for a 14-0 lead.
In the third, the Golden Eagles recovered an Atmore fumble on their 40 yard line, but the Golden Eagles fumbled on the very next play. Atmore regained possession on the Golden Eagle’s 45 yard line.
Atmore then completed about a 40 yard pass to about the two yard line, but a frustrated Escambia County player realized he had caught the ball while standing out of bounds.
But Escambia County scored on a quarterback keeper on the next play. They missed another two pointer, holding a 20-0 advantage with 4:52 to go in the third.
With 45 seconds on the clock in the third, Escambia County crossed the goal line on an almost 90 yard quarterback keeper. But the TD was not good, and it was back to the 20 yard line for Atmore’s Eagles with a holding flag on the play.
Early in the fourth, LaDerious Franklin hit pay dirt for Ernest Ward, putting them on the scoreboard for the first time. The Golden Eagles missed a two point attempt, making the score 20-6.
Escambia County went on to add another half dozen to the board, making the final 26-6.
In a seventh grade single quarter scrimmage prior to the regular game, Escambia County downed Ernest Ward 6-0.
