5 Eads Slams Pikes Peak Chris tian By Rhonda Uhland It was a long two weeks for the Ea gles be tween games and it showed as they came out a lit tle slug - gish for their cross di vi - sional play off game on Sat ur day. It was a quite crowd and not much emo - tion on the field but the home town Ea gles did come away with the vic tory. The weather held out for the day which was nice for ev ery one as this was the lon gest game played this sea son by Eads. Eads was the first to show points up on the score board as Blaine Winder ran one in from 6 yards out but Jose Ramos was off to the left on the up rights and Eads was only given the 6 points for the touch down. Eads struck again with 5:55 left on the clock in the 1st quar ter as quar ter - back Justin Lenox went to the air and found his ju - nior team mate Cory Miller with the 10 yard touch down pass and Ramos was per fect with the ex tra 2. Pikes Peak Chris tian was not giv ing up eas ily as they came back less than a min ute later and Na than Har ris was go ing to Chad Doxey for the vis - it ing Ea gles first touch - down pass of the day. The pass for the ex tra point was no good. With Eads next pos ses - sion and work ing from a 4th and very long, they went with a Lenox pitch back to Winder and then a pass to Kyle Crow for a 36 yard touch down. The Ea - gle man ag ers must have been toss ing in the wrong boot for Ramos as he again missed the kick. Nev er the less af ter an ex - tremely long 1st quar ter, Eads was on top, 20 to 6. School & Youth The PPC Ea gles were strik ing again early in the 2nd, with a Har ris to Keith Becker pass from 54 yards out but the ex tra point pass was in com - plete. Eads then com mit ted a costly turn over as their next pos ses sion ended with a Winder fum ble and PPC was again scor ing on a Har ris pass to Chad Doxey from 9 yards out. Wade Crews kicked it in and the vis it ing Ea gles had knot ted up the score at 20. Still not show ing much emo tion but work ing their way to the end of the 1st half Eads man aged 2 rush ing touch downs from Winder from 45 and 44 yards out re spec tively and Ramos went 1 for 2 on the PTA; Lo gan Crawford ran in next from 12 yards out and Ramos nailed in the ex tra 2; Cory Miller in - ter cepted a PPC pass on the 20 and was al most un - touched cross ing the goal line with Ramos add ing the 2; Crawford cap i tal - ized on a loss of downs deep in PPC ter ri tory and gave Eads their last touch down of the half bolt ing in from 3 yards out but Ramos could n t tack on the PTA. The halftime score read; Home 56, Visitor, 20. It was a 3rd quar ter of turn overs by both team as Eads lost pos ses sion first on a Crawford fum ble but PPC could n t take it into the end zone as Kyle Crow in ter cepted a touch down pass and Eads was back on of fense at their own 15 yard line. Com ing off an ex cel lent Flagler game, it was Chris Rigsby who coughed up the ball giv ing their op po nent an other chance at a touch down. Jose Ramos stopped the scor ing this time as he in - ter cepted the next TD pass and again put Eads back on their 15 and this ended the 3rd quarter. Early in the 4th Lenox tossed an other touch - down pass to Miller from 29 yards out and Ramos kicked in the PTA. Thirty sec onds later Miller in ter - cepted a pass and ran it in from 27 yards out and the clock was now left to run. Ramos ended the game with a per fect boot through and Eads was ad - vanc ing on into the 2011 Play offs. The fi nal score was Eads, 72; Pikes Peak Chris tian, 20. Eads fans will be busy trav el ing this next week as the Lady Ea gles will be com pet ing in the vol ley - ball re gional tour na ment be ing held in Lamar on Fri day and the foot ball team will make its way to Otis next Sat ur day to take on the Bull dogs in the State Foot ball quarterfinals. South east Col o rado will be shut down as the com mu ni ties of Plainview, Kit Car son and Eads will be busy watch ing their area teams com pete at the next level. Go Eagles!
