East Lake Pulls the Upset at Home Moving to 6-3!
Posted May 16, 2017
The East Lake War Eagles battled with the Georgia Cardinals on May 13th at the East Lake Sports Complex, and man was it a good game! Cardinals showed up a little underhanded but showed grit and determination throughout the night. A couple big plays could have changed the tide a few times in this one. Final Score: War Eagles 17, Cardinals 0.
Josh Roberts making his first start since last season had a rough night. Finishing with just above a 50% completion percentage, 1 TD and 3 Interceptions. He did have two potential TD's dropped but that's not acceptable either way. He showed great poise, and didn't let the turnovers get to him. In the end he found a way to get the War Eagles this much-needed victory!
Stand out player on Offense was #1 Biz Poole who had 3 catches on 5 targets for 100 yards and a TD! All the big plays came from Mr. Big play Biz himself. The 3rd reception of 35 yards came stealing the ball out of the hands of a defender to prevent an interception and gain a reception in the process!
Stand out player on Defense was #47 Yiani Eckley who had 5 Solo Tackles, 6 assisted tackles, 2 Tackles for a loss, and .5 a sack. With his performance, he has launched himself on top of the APDFL leaderboards for solo tackles so far this season.
