SENIOR DAY ROUT 16 HONORED: EAGLES DOMINATE MUSTAGS FOR 7TH HOME VIC
I
n the third WCAC contest of 2019, the Eagles took on Bishop McNamara. Prior to the contest, fifteen senior student-athletes and one student-manager were honored. Gonzaga started fast and took a 14-0 lead behind a five-yard touchdown pass from QB Caleb Williams ‘21 to WR Hayden Fisher ‘21 and a three-yard touchdown run by WR Aaron Turner ‘21. After the Mustangs got on the board to cut the lead in half early in the second quarter, Turner returned the ensuing kickoff 73 yards to make the score 21-7. The defense, led by LB Trey Jamison ‘21, forced a three and out on the next drive. Five plays later, Williams found RB Malcolm Terry II ‘20 for a nine-yard TD catch -- Terry’s first career TD reception. McNamara would not give up. After converting on a fake punt to earn a first down, the Mustangs got in the endzone again to make the score 28-14 with under two minutes to go in the half. However, Williams found Turner on the very next play from scrimmage on a 71-yard touchdown pass to make it 35-14. Defensive back Jalen McMurray ‘21 snagged an interception just before halftime to send the Eagles into the locker room with a three score lead. Tight end Connor Fagan ‘20 caught a 22-yard TD, Turner added another TD catch (41 yards), and DB Auggie Sommers ‘20 recovered his second onsides kick of the day late in the game to seal the win.
