NWE Mites 40 NEP 8

There was no stopping the NWE Mites offense Saturday, as they quickly racked up the points against the Northeast Pensacola Wildcats.

Just a couple of minutes into the game, the Eagles’ Luke Ward gained over 50 yards on a fourth down to put the Eagles on the board early, 6-0. The field goal attempt by Chason Freeman was no good.

But Freeman was not going to miss scoring for long. Less than a minute later, he intercepted a Wildcat pass and ran 45 yards for the TD. The point after was good, and the Eagles were up 13-0.

With less than seven seconds to go in the first, Andrew Edwards crossed the goal line and a good extra point put NWE up 20-0 going into the second.

The Wildcats were not able to gain much yardage in the second, thanks to the Eagles strong defense and numerous backfield slams by Jared Aliff.

With five and half to go in the second quarter, Chasen Freeman scored again, this time on a 40 yard run on a punt recovery.

The Wildcast tried and failed three times to move the ball. Thomas “Smiley” Booth was in on a sack keeping the ball away from a Wildcat first down.

The NEP Wildcasts fought back, with a 15 yard pass and a 35 yard run. They got their first an only TD of the game, making the score 26-8 Eagles.

Zach Payne went airborne for the Eagles for an interception with 2:18 to go in the first half, giving NWE Eagles offense the ball for the remainder of the half.

The third was slower for the Eagles, with several failed sweeps and handoffs but little yardage.

But the fourth quarter was all Eagles, with the Wildcats hardly touching the pigskin. With 2:00 in the game, a handoff to Andrew Edwards gave the Eagles another touchdown. A good extra point and the Eagles soared.

With 19 seconds to go in the game, the Eagles added another touchdown, this time on a Zachary Holland run for a final score of 40-8.
