"I'm really proud of our guys, they responded well," Eagles coach Chris Parker said. "We faced some adversity had some kids that were banged up and out as everybody knows, and kids playing in new positions, I thought the we were focused and ready to play."
Clarke (7-1, 1-1) took just over two minutes to score, when Kyle Baylor broke to the outside and scored the first of his two touchdowns on a 26 yard scamper. The point after attempt was blocked.
Strasburg (3-4, 1-1) came right back on the next drive and took the lead after Austin Miller rambled 58 yards for a touchdown and then scored on a two point conversion to put the Rams up 8-6.

"They [Strasburg] were battling with us the first half," Rutherford said. "We came out the second half, we were all just pumped, the whole team you could just feel it."
The Eagles made adjustments at halftime and were able to shutdown the Rams passing game.
"Our pressure improved throughout the game," Parker said. "Our secondary played pretty well, as the game went on we got better."

"I just got back in coverage and looked for a man, made sure I wasn't just covering grass," Buzalsky said. "They just threw it may way and I made the catch and ran a few yards."
The Eagles will head to Madison County this Friday for another Bull Run District Game, before returning home in 2 weeks to end the regular season against George Mason. Playoff pairings will be determined after the regular season ends.
