Eagles, Golden Knights earn lopsided wins

0

NORTH ROBINSON — On Friday night, the Colonel Crawford Eagles hosted the Upper Sandusky Rams in week four football action, as well as Crawford’s homecoming game.

Crawford dominated from the very beginning of the contest and opened the Northern-10 Athletic Conference portion of their schedule with a convincing, 49-6 victory over Upper. The Eagles move to 3-1 overall on the season while the Rams fall to 2-2.

The home team used 327 yards of total offense, pesky defense on the line and the secondary and some crafty footwork from Jordan Fenner in the secondary to upend their opponents under the lights on Friday. Upper managed just 173 yards of offense which included a total of -5 rushing yards while also committing three turnovers; two interceptions and a fumble lost.

Colonel Crawford held a 20-0 lead after the first and entered halftime up 43-0, engaging the running clock rule in the second half. Six additional points put the Eagles up 49-0 and they almost made it out with a shutout but Rams quarterback Levi Malone connected with Eric Bils as time expired in the game on an 18-yard touchdown pass.

The Eagles will have a difficult week five opponent when they make the short trip to Wynford to clash with the Royals. Wynford improved to 3-1 overall with a shutout of Buckeye Central (0-4); 34-0. For Upper, they will play host to the same Bucks that fell to Wynford.
