The East Jackson Eagles continued their hot start to 2009, as they beat the Union County Panthers 56-27 Friday night on the road.

The Eagles are now 3-0 in the region and 4-0 overall. Only two other region teams, Jefferson and North Oconee, can boast such numbers at this point.

Up next is the Eagles’ homecoming game Friday night against Riverside Military Academy.

Kickoff is at 7:30.

Riverside, coming into Friday off of a 17-0 loss to North Oconee, is 2-1 in the region and 2-2 overall.

Union County
At first, it looked like it might be a long night for the East Jackson faithful, as the Panthers took an early 7-0 lead.

But the Eagles came right back, marching down the field to score their first touchdown, tying the game 7-7.

The Panthers again broke into the end zone, taking a 14-7 lead, but a touchdown by Deon Sewell tied the game 14-14, and another score by Sewell gave East Jackson its first lead of the night, 21-14, late in the first half.
