The Eagles swooped into Howard City and took a 35-7 lead through 3 quarters and held on for a 41-29 victory to finish the season 6-0.
The Eagles awesome rushing attack tallied 6 more touchdowns. Led by Maverick Thompson and Noah Thompson with 2 each and Bronson Mitchell and Landon Parker added 1 each. Easton Larson added 5 extra points as well. The defense was not to be outdone, intercepting 4 Viking passes, 2 by Noah Thompson and 2 by Kade Newville. Maverick Thompson also recovered his 5th kickoff fumble. The line on both sides of the ball dominated the line of scrimmage all night. The 78ers became the third team since the middle school program was started in 2007 to go undefeated. The future looks very bright for the program. It’s a great day to be an Eagle.
