The Dryden Eagles High School Football team was unable to end the East Kildonan undefeated streak Friday afternoon in Winnipeg.
The Eagles fell to the Riveres 27-7.
Dryden finishes the regular season with a record of 5-2, while East Kildonan finishes with a 7-0 record.
The Eagles did get some good news however as Fort Frances upset Beaver Brae 10-8.
That means Dryden secures second place in the standings and a home playoff game.
Here is the recap from the game courtesy of Coach Geoff Zilkalns:
KE took a first quarter lead after a possession for each team when their QB ran the ball in from the 9 yard line. Shalom Powell would answer in the second frame on a 47 yard scamper. The conversion was negated by a penalty and the Eagles trailed 7-6. Late in the half, the Reivers added a 2 yard TD pass and converted it for a 14-6 lead.
Dryden moved one point closer on Shalom Powell’s rouge off a punt into the end zone. Two mistakes by the Eagles would widen the gap. First the Eagles fumbled in their end and the ball was recovered by KE for a major and then the hosts pounced on punt in the DHS end zone for another TD and the 27-7 final.
