Northwest Escambia Takes Four From Poarch Warriors

September 17, 2013

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.

Sophomores 32, Poarch 0

Juniors 39, Poarch 0

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. Jaden Cunningham scored touchdown, scored on three extra point attempts and ran for more than 85 yards. The NWE Junior’s defense only gave up one down during the entire game.

Seniors 36, Poarch 19

Seth Killam complete 7 of 11 passes for over 100 yards, two touchdown passes to Tanner Deese and also added a rushing touchdown for Northwest Escambia. Keaton Solmonson had over 100 yards rushing and a touchdown, Trent Kite had 100 plus yards rushing, and Aunterio Minor racked up almost 50 yards rushing and scored a touchdown. Minor also recorded a big defensive play with multiple tackles for a loss. Killam was also 3-5 on field goals.

    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
