The Sequoits and the Eagles were battling like no other. Lakes scored, then Antioch, then Lakes again. Eventually the Sequoits took the lead for while, but the Eagles caught up once again.

“I can’t believe that we won,” Antioch head football coach Brian Glashagel said. “I was worried throughout the whole game, not knowing if we’d win or lose. There were so many times I thought we were done but somehow the team was able to make comeback after comeback, play after play. I was very impressed with the team’s performance during this game.”
