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. Hamp 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.
