NWE Midgets Upset Undefeated Myrtle Grove To Advance In Playoffs
November 1, 2009
The Northwest Escambia Midgets beat undefeated powerhouse Myrtle Grove 12-6 Saturday afternoon in Milton to advance to the second round of the Gulf Coast Youth Football Alliance playoffs.
NWE used a strong running game behind Dalton Daniel and Brannon Freeman to grind out a hard fought victory over a Myrtle Grove team that was 8-0 and had lost only one other game in the last three years.
After falling behind 6-0 just 3 minutes into the game, the NWE Eagles scored just before the half to even the score 6-6 at the half.
The second half was a back and forth battle with each team unable to move the ball. NWE’S defense stopped Myrtle Grove on fourth down at the NWE’s 30 yard line with only 2:33 to go in the game.
Northwest Escambia then drove the ball 70 yards for a touchdown with just 18 seconds to go. Myrtle Grove fought to even the score with only18 seconds on the clock, using just eight seconds to drive to the NWE 12-yard line. But Myrtle Grove’s efforts were for nothing when the Eagle’s Chasen Freeman picked off a pass to secure the NWE win.
Northwest Escambia will play Ensley Gold in next week’s round two of the Gulf Coast Youth Football Alliance playoffs. The time has not yet been announced.
