September 2, 2011
The Ernest Ward Middle School Golden Eagles opened their 2011 season Thursday night with a loss to the Perdido Middle School Raiders in Walnut Hill.
EWMS jumped out to an 8-0 lead with 4:04 to go in the first quarter, but the Raiders answered with a 6o-plus yard TD run less than a minute later. Perdido missed the point after, cutting Ernest Ward’s lead to 8-6.
With about two minutes on the clock in the half, EWMS drove to fourth and goal but tossed an interception to the Raiders at the four yard line. Heading into the half, Ernest Ward held onto their 8-6 lead.
Late in the fourth quarter, the Perdido Raiders drove to fourth and inches, running it in on the next down for a touchdown. Once again missing the point after, Perdido had a 12-8 advantage with 2:27 on the clock.
Ernest Ward ended the game with no time on the clock and a missed pass into the endzone.

Congratulations to the Raiders and coach Jones. They have done really well this year and worked extremely hard to pull it together. Let’s keep on supporting the boys and coach Jones on a great season.
Where are all the pictures of the Perdido Raiders? Who do they play next week? Earnest Ward were not expecting to get dusted by “Dusty Baggett and the Perdido Team”…A lot of pride from a small team….Congradulations to the Perdido Raiders. From a friend of Dusty’s Family.
