Pisgah Makes Second Round!

The Pisgah Eagles were winners last Friday night against No. 1-seeded Rogers, 17-14. Blaine Smith nailed a field goal at the end of the game to send the Eagles to the second round for the first time since 2003.
Pisgah will travel to region foe and rival Plainview in round two.
Plainview upended the Eagles in this season's earlier matchup, 28-7 at Pisgah. The Eagles fell victim to the Bears following Plainview being upset by Sylvania in week one.
Last week, Pisgah's rushing attack was the key to victory. Jeb Woods rushed for 124 yards and was the workhorse for the offense.
Defensively, the Eagles allowed just 259 total yards.
Both Pisgah and Plainview are vying for a spot in the AHSAA quarterfinals, a place neither team has been in quite some time.
The Eagles last made the third round in 2002, when they fell to Lineville in the semi-finals. The Bears have not tasted the quarterfinals since Dale Pruitt's final season in his first stint with Plainview, 2000. The Bears lost to Colbert County that season, the same team it defeated last week.
Pisgah is 6-17 all-time against the Bears, but their last victory was in 1988.

Eagles sit atop region

The Pisgah Eagles used a 21-point first half and squashed a New Hope Indians’ comeback attempt en route to a 35-20 region win on Friday night.

The Eagles (7-1, 6-0) jumped out early with a nine-play, 76-yard drive on the games opening possession. Blair Kenimer put the Eagles on top 7-0 with an 8-yard touchdown run. On the ensuing kickoff, the Eagles came up with the ball on an unintentional onside kick. Six plays later Kennimer hit Zack Peek for a touchdown, pushing Pisgah's lead 14-0.

Eagles Travel To New Hope

Pisgah Eagles (6-1) @ New Hope Indians(2-5)
Series: Pisgah leads 12-3
Last Meeting: Pisgah 25 New Hope 19
Last Five Games: Pisgah 5-0, New Hope 2-3

The Eagles travel to New Hope in hopes of adding one more win to the good column.

Pisgah will rely on the legs of Josh Sensor and Jeb Woods, both backs rushed for over 100 yards last week against Sylvania.

The field conditions will most likely deny much of a passing attack, but Blair Kenimer should have no troubles finding open receivers against the Indians.

If the season ended today, Pisgah would be tied with Sardis for the region title, those two are set to play next week with the Lions taking on Susan Moore tonight.

A Sardis win along with a Pisgah win tonight would ensure the Eagles a first-round home playoff game. A Sardis loss would make next week's game against the Lions extremely interesting, with tie-breaking procedures that could send the Eagles to first or even down as far as third in the region standings.

Needless to say, tonight will tell a big part in the story of 3A Region 6.
