It
was a great but cold day for the Eagle Midgets against the Northwest
Tigers. In the first half of the game the Eagles had three
completed pass made by Mitchell Thompson and one by Cody Erickson.
As the Eagles started out they had several attempts to make a touchdown.
With
Cody Erickson and Cory Moravec’s runs the yards started to add up but
the score was still 0-0 by the end of the first half.
In
the second half of the game the Tigers struggled to make yards while the Eagles
were flying to the first touchdown of the day. With the help from Cody
Erickson,
Derek
Kenkel, and Cory Moravec, Mitchell Thompson ran a one yard touchdown to
put the points on the board. With the extra point from Matt
O’Dell’s kick the Eagles were a head 7-0. As the Tigers got
the ball great tackles were made by Dillon Goodwater, Matt O’Dell, and
Tanner Moyer. The Tigers had no where to run so they were forced
to punt. That was when Cody Erickson ran a
65 yard
punt return to put the Eagles once again in scoring range. As Cody
Erickson changed to quarterback, Erickson’s pass is completed to
Colton Wehmeyer for the second touchdown for the Eagles. That
would end the game with another win. Coach Burianek says, “great
job to both the offense and defense including Cody Erickson, Cory
Moravec, Colton Wehmeyer, and great first half for Zach Erickson.”
