In Saturday Night Football
By Gary King
Last Saturday’s football game was played under the lights on the Gilpin County High School Eagles home field, versus the Plateau Valley High School Cowboys. The game started at 6:00 p.m. with the weather chilly, but tolerable due to no appreciable wind chill factor. The game began as the Cowboys received the kickoff with a fumble and then falling on the ball on their own 43-yard line. On the third play of the game the Eagles forced a Cowboy fumble, which was recovered by the Eagles on the Cowboy’s 44-yard line. The Eagles took advantage of the turnover with a 43-yard, 11-play drive to the Cowboy’s 1-yard line trailed by a touchdown by Blake Boulter (19) on a quarterback keeper. The TD was followed-up by a pass to Kameron Brewer (8) in the end zone to complete a 2-point conversion making the score Eagles 8 to Cowboys 0. The remainder of the 1st quarter consisted of two possessions by each team, neither of which was able to score.
