Lindale’s Dynamic duo of running back Keandre Ross and Quarterback Matt Broussard exploited the Whitehouse defense for 355 combined yards in a 24-20 victory over the Wildcats.

“The Eagles, known as a passing team, took a surprise approach and attempted only two passes…. But that’s ok, their running game took over and ran the ball very well. Not only that, the Eagles defense had their best game all season.” said “Buddy” Munn, Lindale ISD School Board Member and proud Eagle Fan.

With only one completion for six yards, the Eagles showed a running game that was nothing short of outstanding. With Ross carrying 32 times for 186 yards and Broussard with 169 yards on 35 attempts, the Eagles wera able to control the pace of the game.

In the second half, Lindale’s defense was able to stall every drive that the Wildcats forced into Eagle Territory, holding the Wildcats to only 2 field goals.

The Eagles (3-4 and 1-1 in District 14-4A) will travel to Nacogdoches to face the Golden Dragons (3-4 and 0-2 in District play)

With the results from this past week the standings from 14-4A are interesting to say the least.  Henderson has first place with a district record of 2-0.  Jacksonville, Lindale, Kilgore & Whitehouse are all tied for second with a 1-1 record in district, and Nacogdoches rounding it off with an 0-2 record.
