The Coppinville Junior High School Eagles football team traveled to Eufaula Thursday and evened its record at 1-1 with a 14-7 win against Admiral Moorer Middle School.
“We scored first on our second drive,” said CJHS coach Joel Kirkland of the eighth-grade team. “Andrew Cummings scored a 20-yard touchdown and Jose Segura kicked the PAT.”
The going got rough for the Eagles offense after the score.
“We stalled on the rest of our drives due to penalties and turnovers,” Kirkland said.
Meanwhile, Coppinville’s defense rose to the occasion and produced a score.
“The defense played great!” Kirkland said. “Sam Williams had three sacks and three tackles for a loss, and Kobe Buckner intercepted a pass and ran it back for a 37-yard touchdown.”
