Eagles blank Touchet

The St. John/Endicott/LaCrosse Eagles went to the far edge of Walla Walla County last Friday looking to get back into the win column, and did it, beating Touchet at their Homecoming, 12-0.

“Touchet came out fighting, but when it came down to it, our guys just wore them down,” said Eagles Coach Rich Hallenius.

SJEL (2-4 overall, 1-3 league) scored in the first quarter on a three-yard run by senior Kaiden Bertrand. Their second touchdown came in the third quarter on a 19-yard run by Chase Anderson, the game’s leading rusher.

On defense for the Eagles, Doug Stach had two interceptions and Owen Swannack one.

Jonathan Logan had five solo tackles at inside linebacker, including three for a loss. Kameron Greenhalgh at noseguard got six tackles.

The team will play next at home Friday for Homecoming against Pomeroy (3-2, 2-2). Gametime is 7 p.m.
