The Campbellsville Eagles moved to .500 on the season with a solid defensive performance in triumphing 20-14 at Bethlehem on Friday night.

“They are a good football team,” Eagle coach Jason Chappell offered. “Our defense played hard, but there are still things we didn’t do right. However, we gave great effort and I’ll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day.”

Coach Rodney Turpin said a key for success would be to keep from giving up the big play.

Campbellsville (1-2) quickly demonstrated his concern was valid when Joe McKenzie returned the opening kickoff 94 yards to get the Eagles on the board 12 seconds into the game. The Eagles would use timely conversions throughout the night to frustrate their rivals.

After an opening three-and-out series, the Cardinals fell victim again, as Thomas Downs converted on third down from 53 yards out to give the Eagles a 12-0 lead only 3 minutes into the contest.
