Our Fighting Eagles held the Hilton Head Prep Dolphins to only 24 points giving up just 10 in the first half and 14 in the second. No touchdowns were scored by the Eagles but Drew Brown finished the night with 38 yards and Kevin Iriart had 30.
Chad Shimakonis' numbers improved as well as he threw 10/13 for a total of 38 yards. Drew Brown also led the defense with 5 tackles followed by Stephen Hickman, Allan Sloan, Eric Salem and Chase Adam all with 4 tackles each.
Coach Manning said that the team effort was great and the result might have been different if not for a few breakdowns in communication.
This reporter might also add that the team struggled with third/fourth down conversions as the miscommunications came at critical points in the game.
Fumbles and third down conversions are easy to fix and there is still plenty of time to do so as there are six games remaining for the Eagles.
This Friday night is our big Homecoming game so make sure to come out and support our Eagles at 7:30 pm at Park West Field against Bible Baptist!
