The Dryden Eagles defence continues to be the story of the young season in the Winnipeg High School Football League.
The Eagles didn’t allow a touchdown for a fourth straight game in a 11-1 win over the Portage Collegiate Trojans Thursday at Harry McMaster Field.
Caleb Oberg scored the only points of the first half with a 32-yard field goal.
The special teams pinned the Trojans deep in their own zone in the second half and that’s when the game was decided.
Joel Ottertail burst into the backfield and recovered a fumble, giving Dryden the ball at the Trojans one yard line.
Mason Desautels carried the ball in for the first and only major of the game.
Ottertail would ice the contest for the Eagles with the Trojans driving late in the fourth quarter.
He delivered a punishing hit on the Portage Quarterback to record the second and final sack of the game.
The Eagles win moves them to 4-0 and the defence has only allowed four points.
The next test is Friday, October 6th as Dryden entertains River East.
Joel Ottertail and Caleb Oberg spoke to CKDR about the win following the game.
