The NFC Middle School Football team survived a late drive by Aucilla Christian on Tuesday night to defeat the Warriors by a score of 6-0. The Eagle defense stood tall and stopped two consectutive passes in the end zone to finally preserve the first win of the season. The Eagles (1-1) moved the football with a strong running game only to bog down inside Aucilla's twenty yard-line on drives early and later in the game. Penalties also plagued NFC for the second consectutive game as critical "roughing the kicker" penalties helped keep Warrior drives alive early in the first half.
In the second quarter, the Eagles finally got on the scoreboard with a thirty-two yard touchdown pass from quarterback Drew Guy to wideout Brandon Grimsley for the first points of the night. The try for two failed and the Eagles would end the first half, 6-0. In the second half, both teams traded punts as defense seemed to be the name of the game. The NFC defense was led by Chandler Stutler, RJ Harris, Josh Lindsey, and Justin Diekman as the Eagles recorded the first shut-out of the season.
