Eagles Win Nail Biter 24-20!

The Eagles went on the road last Friday night to Beech Grove and won a nail biter 24-20 in a very hostile environment. Quarterback Matt Hunt was 20 for 35, 255 yards passing, and 75 yards rushing with 1 touchdown. Alex Cook ran the ball hard and scored 2 touchdowns on the night. Randall Cork, Brady Allard and Anthony Warrum all had over 60 yards receiving.

The defense played great holding the Beech Grove passing attack to 37 total yards on the night. Brendon Burke and CJ Stein led the team in tackles. Seth Moffitt, Matt Fitzpatrick and Ryan Shrock all had 4 tackles each on the night.

Kyle Green remained perfect on his extra points, and kicked a 37 yarder that would later prove to be huge in the victory. The eagles are 6-0 and ranked #2 in the nation in Christian High Schools. They are still ranked 6th in the state. This Friday night the Eagles return home to play host to an undefeated and very good Arsenal Tech team. It's Homecoming week so be sure to come out this Friday (7:00pm) and support your Eagles in what promises to be an exciting and important game!

Boys Soccer Team Honors Seniors and Shuts Out Park Tudor

The senior class, led by captains Evan Link and Connor Richards, was
determined to not allow Park Tudor to score. Evan Link played very
well in goal, and Connor Richards and Daniel Shake anchored a defense
that earned its fifth shut out of the season. Seniors Brad Giannini,
Zander Faidley, and Joey Winkle also contributed with positive
minutes. The offense had a few quality opportunities to score, but the
back of the net could not be found resulting in a tie game.

Coach Nelson was very proud of how the seniors played. "The seniors were
dialed in for this game, and it was apparent that they were determined
not to lose." The younger players played well in honor of the seniors.
Overall, it was a good result against a quality opponent.

The team's record now stands at 3-5-4. The next game will be on
Thursday, September 23rd at Greenwood Christian. Go Eagles!
