Highlights:  Discounting the score, St. James would have appeared to have dominated the first half.  The Trojans ran 38 plays from scrimmage, holding the Eagles to a mere 13.  St. James blocked a Montgomery Academy punt after the first three plays and drove down to the Eagle 11 before botching a snap on a field goal attempt.  On the next play, Eagle Will Blount ran a quarterback sweep misdirection to perfection as most of the defenders were pursuing the back on the opposite side as he cruised 77 yards for a touchdown.

St. James fumbled the ensuing kickoff return, and the Eagles capitalized again on the first play on a 23 yard pass from Blount to his split end Robb Newton.  The fumble return touchdown occurred on a strange play where a desperation lateral simply lay on the ground for several seconds before Dee Fitzpatrick realized no whistle had been blown.  He picked up the ball and dashed for an easy 50 yard fumble return touchdown, and the Eagles had 21 points before making their only non-touchdown first down of the first half. 
St. James was basically held in check in the second half.  H
amp Greene, kicker extraordinaire, added a touchdown from his fullback position, and reserve Bill Eskridge added a late touchdown as the Eagles literally blanked the Trojans - one of the two teams in each of St. James' last four games posted a zero in the score column.
