Just before halftime, Cale Myers capped off a drive with a 1-yard touchdown run, a possession that included several of big Myers runs to keep the clock moving.

In the third quarter, Giovanni Orue broke free for a 38-yard touchdown run after a strong burst through the line. The Eddies’ lead grew to 21-0 with 5:23 left in the third. Jesten Gregory scored the final points of the game on a 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
