Eagles host the Special Forces for the last game of the season – and what a way to close the season. Last time these teams met, the Special Forces dominated – not this time. Eagles defense was tough and played smart, containing the Forces running game and putting enough pressure on the QB to keep the ball on the ground. The Eagles’ offense also was tough with a power running game that just pounded through the line. Half time found these teams tied at 6 a piece. The forces came back in the second half with an excellent drive to put 7 up on the board. While Eagles weren’t able to score in the second half, they never dropped their level of intensity – both teams played there hearts out and for the Forces, a well deserved win was their just reward. I just can’t wait to see the rematch for the championship!
Rematch time between the Eagles and the Cardinals. Once again, the Eagles defense came on strong putting a lot of pressure on the Card’s quarterback and successfully keeping them out of the end zone. The Eagles offense did their part to come away with the win and to advance their record to 6-1.
A rematch of the season opener, Eagles – Rattlers – would the outcome change? The Rattlers sure improved over the course of the season and ran an impressive passing offense. However, the Eagles improved as well and their defense was just brutal, not allowing any Rattler to get in the end zone until 4th quarter and by that time the Eagles’ offense had already built a substantial lead which eventually put another one in the ‘W’ column.
Another great, well fought game this week as the Rams and Eagles square off. The Eagles put up a quick six, finding the end zone on the opening kick off. But the Rams weren’t going to make it that easy for them and fought back hard in the second half but it was just a little too late as the Eagles advance there record to 4-1.
Week 4 finds the Eagles facing the Six Shooters, a relatively new team to the league. The Six Shooters definitely had some sizable athletes on their team to watch out for. Even with the temperatures hovering around 106, both teams kept their cool and played some good football with the Eagles coming out on top to move there record to 3-1.
The first match up of the two undefeated team in the league. For each, the other was the team to beat and set the tone for the season. However, the Special Force showed just how special they were, their backs were FAST and broke away for some early scores. They appeared unstoppable but the Eagles defence stepped up and started to ‘gel’ making the Forces work for each yard. But with their starting QB out for most of the game due to injury, the Eagles were unable to find the endzone this game. Can’t wait for the rematch.
Things heated up when the big kids took the field. This time things weren’t as close, the Eagles scored early off a turn over during the opening kick off and this set the pace for the rest of the game. While the Cards had some good drives, the Eagles always found a way to shut it down. Eagles go into next week 2-0 to face Special Forces.
The Pee Wee Season opener for the STYFL Rattlers and Eagles. Now this is REAL football, 11 man tackle on a muddy field – awesome. Great talent on both sides but the Eagles came out on top of this one. Not a lot of time to edit this gallery as were off to the Rim to enjoy the rest of labor day weekend, but I think there are a few nice ones up there – enjoy.
