The Northwest Escambia Eagles swept four games from the Poarch Warrios on Saturday in Walnut Hill.
Freshmen 21, Poarch 20
Zyonne Wesley scored three touchdowns, and Liam Hatcher added three extra point after attempts for NWE. Wesley tackled Poarch’s Blayze Thomas at the one-yard line and forced the fumble after a 60-yard run. NWE’s Jackson Bridges recovered the fumble. Poarch scored late to make it a one point game and Jackson Simmons and Bridges were on the stop that prevented Poarch’s extra point and avoided a tie game.

Jayden Jackson scored three touchdowns, including one he stripped from a Poarch Player. Jaheem Durant (pictured left) ran for a NWE touchdown, and he also intercepted a Poarch pass and ran it in from 60 plus yards out for a TD.

The NWE seniors (hard to call my 11 year old grandson a senior) played an excellent game on both sides of the ball. Poarch played a good game but NWE was much, much better prepared. They got down on the score board but Coach Greg didn’t let them get down mentally. All of the players mentioned in the article did great as many others did. I am especially proud of my “Little Buddy”, Jason (Jay) Fayard
Juniors, nice shutout, you guys played an excellent game.
Go! Nephew! Way to go!
Way to go!
