In the hearts of all true Eagle fans, the dates of November |4 and 20 represent an incredible reality. The first region game in which the Eagles met their cross town ri- vals was a very intense game for both teams. Under the leadership of second year coach, Stan Gann, the Eagles were able to defeat the odds and devour the Warner Robins Demons twice in one season. The first game proved to be a test of stability for the Northside Eagles. The De- mons took a strong lead which lasted into the fourth quarter of the game. It would not be until the last 2 minutes and 48 seconds of the game before the Eagles would explode and take control of the game. Down by |4 points, the Eagles scored a touchdown with 2 minutes and 44 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Receiv- ing momentum from the crowd, the Eagles pushed on to score and tie the game, caus- ing their cross town rivals to head into overtime. The overtime final score proved to be disastrous for the Warner Robins De- mons who lost with the final score being 27-14. The first region playoff game for the Eagles was a somewhat easy task. The Eagles, who once again played the De mons, defeated some very overwhelming odds. The Northside Eagles, who have not successfully beaten the Warner Robins De- mons in a region game since 1964, would once again prevail with a final score of 10-0. The championship region game 4-AAAA against Evans was definitely a battle of equal forces. As stated by Coach Randy Hinson, ‘‘It wasn’t a case of the better team won, but of which team could withstand the other.’’ The Eagles would only score once against the Evans Knights who would win 9-7. = —- 4 a ‘ The football players show their energy as they burst through od the “Breakfast of Champions” ; sign.
