Tough night for Wartburg. Caused a turnover with about 6 minutes left in the game with the score tied 14-14 but was overturned due to an inadvertent whistle and Eagleton ended up scoring on that drive. Wartburg went back down and scored but failed the 2-point attempt to take the lead. Both teams defenses didn’t allow anything on the ground. Eagleton also had a pick 6 on a screen pass for the first score of the game.

Wartburg won that district and was the 5 seed. The district those guys play in is a mini region with 9 teams and the top 5-6 seeds are tough in district play just about every year. Both Harriman and Wartburg are loaded with juniors so it should be a good one tomorrow and both will have a shot at being in this game again next year.

Harriman’s ace is a good as anyone’s in their area. When he pitches well they are hard to beat. I don’t believe they have lost a game where he has started. Their pitching staff takes a huge step back when he’s not on the mound. Regardless of the outcome Wednesday between them and Wartburg both of those teams will be tough outs Friday in their sectional game.
