The O'Neill Eagles traveled to Central City last Friday to take on the Bison. The Eagles walked away with their second win of the season defeating them 26-6.

Defensively the Eagles did not give up a score the entire night. "I thought that our defense played faster than we have all season. Our defensive backs did a great job in defending the pass forcing their quarterback to end the night two for 17 passing.  A lot of this had to do with the pressure that was put on by the defensive line as well. I was very proud of our overall team effort defensively," commented Coach Eichelberger. 

"Offensively the team had almost 400 yards of total offense combined with a little over 200 yards in the air and 176 on the ground. I thought our offensive line had great pass protection throughout the entire game, giving Charley time in the pocket to throw and our receivers a chance to work the field. Overall we were much improved from weeks one and two, " said Coach Eichelberger.

This week the Eagles come back home to face the Madison Dragons on Homecoming. "This week there are a lot of distractions and it will take all of our focus throughout the week in order to compete on Friday night," commented Eichelberger.

The Eagles passing game was 14/20 for 209 yards. On the ground the Eagles carried the ball 31 times for 176 yards for 5.68 yards per carry.
