    “These guys are making an old man out of me,” Eagles’ head coach Jason Chappell remarked after CHS’ second nail-biter in the last three weeks.

    “But, the mark of a good football team is when big-time players make big-time plays.

    “Our offensive line did a great job and just like Lynn Camp it was just a guts game.”
