ROCKFORD — Undefeated for the first time since 1953, the Edwardsburg football team will head into the post season with a full head of steam.

The Eddies wrapped up their undefeated season Friday night by beaten another undefeated team in Petoskey at Rockford High School 24-14.

The win gives Edwardsburg the home field advantage to open the playoffs this weekend.

After falling behind 7-0 on a Joe Robbins 52 yard pass from Quinn Amell, the Eddies quickly tied the game when Matt North capped off a drive with a 2-yard run.

Petoskey reclaimed the lead early in the second quarter when Robbins scored on a 62-yard run.

Jesse Mays pulled the Eddies back into a tie with Petoskey at 14-14 with a 1-yard scoring run and just before halftime Austin Teeter booted a 23-yard field goal to make it 17-14.

The second half became a defensive battle between the two teams, but the Eddies were able to get the only score when Lee Williamson broke loose for a 64-yard game-wining touchdown run.

Williamson finished with 172 yards on 15 carries as Edwardsburg racked up 366 yards on the ground. The Eddies were just 1-of-4 through the air for 47 yards.
