After scoring a touchdown early in the game, the snap for the extra point bounced on the ground, so River Waltmire picked up the ball and ran it in for a two-point conversion.

In the second half, the Eagles’ offense came alive, with two rushing touchdowns by Dylan Killing and two by Landen Miller. Johnny Peschong also had a big game on defense for the Eagles, sacking their sophomore quarterback on two occasions. The Eagles improve to 2-0 in the Ocean League, 5-1 overall. Next up for the Eagles are the Atascadero Greyhounds, who are also 2-0 in the Ocean League.
