Capital, WV has a very good team and I would not be surprised to see them in the state championship vs. Martinsburg come December.

 

A ton of young players stepped up tonight for the Golden Eagles as they saw Joe Jackson go down on the 2nd series with a knee injury (6:30 1Q - should be fine as it seemed to be hyper-extended a bit - returned for only one more play as a decoy late in the 2nd half - had over 70 yards at time of injury). JC was up only 7-0 and driving when Jackson left the game. Enter Blake Gamble as he was everywhere tonight. Had 2 TD's rushing, 1 TD receiving, 2 INT's on defense, and a bunch of timely tackles. JC's line just wore down the very athletic Capital line on both sides of the ball and grinded out a very good opening win.

 

Very sloppy game both ways with lots of penalty's that need to be cleaned up. Great crowd and a nice win to open the season for JC. This Golden Eagle team will only get better from an opponent such as Capital.

Personally, I thought this Capital team was much better overall than last years team and overall team speed was unreal.

 

Good to hear about Joe. I assumed the worst.

From reports I was given, Joe was held out for precaution. I agree that this Capital team was better, deeper, and faster than last years version. Their kids played hard, hit hard and were well coached. Had athletes all over the field and big play ability on every snap. JC was just too much in the trenches and threw their timing and running off it seemed.

Nice win.
