[Denny] Previously on God. Family. Football.
After the game against Neville, our grass field is destroyed.
This is the layout for the new turf field. It's happening. God has blessed us.
-[Jacob] Toad, you ready, buddy? -Yes.
That E-helmet used to work and it was the coolest thing.
Toad's mom, thank God she came 'cause she knows a lot about fixing the cart.
My mom has been both a mama and a daddy to me.
And this past year, my mom got real sick. I pray that she gets better, gets well.
[radio host] Peyton fires to brother, Parker.
But it's too far out in front of him.
What was it, seven, eight passes in a row to one person?
Parker or somebody underneath him.
[Haden] We gotta build the bond back together.
Once we get that bond back, we're gonna be unstoppable.
[Peyton] Coming off a two-game losing streak,
this Minden game is gonna be huge for us.
Hopefully, we can do a full 180 and win out the rest of the season.
[Denny] All right, everybody look right here.
Everybody listen. What we're gonna do is this.
We're gonna play fast. We're gonna play aggressive.
We're gonna support each other. We're gonna take this victory.
And we're not gonna come away without it.
-[players] Yeah! -[Denny] Hey, y'all ready to worship?
[players] Yes, sir!
[all singing]
[Damari] Worshipping and singing the song,
I feel like it's on point to do it before our game
because I feel like God gives me that strength
and this dog mentality that I have.
And I'ma use it on the field.
Like, I know I got a big game ahead of me.
[all singing]
We understand what's at stake. We know that we have to win.
[all singing]
-One, two, three! -[players] Let's go! Yeah!
[radio host] Here we go, folks. A must-win game here against Minden.
Evangel with the kickoff.
Eagles pounce on number 12 after a short return.
[Denny] We need to have a convincing victory
to establish momentum that we need as a team.
[radio host] Number four to the 42-yard line.
But they're a good football team.
Let's go, defense!
[radio host] Second and goal.
Number four runs it into the end zone for a touchdown.
[Peyton] ' Everybody wake up, let's go!
[radio host] It's the Eagles' turn on offense.
Let's see if they can come back after that Minden score.
Peyton fires it short to Parker.
He's swarmed and brought down for a short gain.
Peyton looks long for number zero, Brayden Curry.
It's just over his head. That would've surely been a touchdown.
Okay, we're going for it here.
[radio host] It's interesting, Coach Denny is going for it on 4th down.
Minden blitzes. Peyton's out of the pocket.
He throws to Brayden Curry, who's wide open.
It's incomplete.
And the Eagles not looking good so far in this game.
Hey, he inside for a reason.
You see what I'm saying? So, protect the outside right now.
[radio host] Minden with the ball on the Eagle 40.
-[Peyton] Let's go, D! -[player] Let's go! [chanting]
[radio host] The pass is intercepted by Tyreek Robinson.
And he easily runs it in for an Eagle touchdown.
When I score a touchdown, I feel great.
[Fabian] I love you, boy.
The crowd screaming. Going back to my team, celebrating.
[player] Let's go, boy!
[radio host] We're all tied up at seven.
[Denny] Unbelievable. Great job!
[radio host] Eagles have the ball on their own 45.
This game is very important.
We had two tough losses.
To be able to win this game would definitely show, like,
"Hey, we're back. We're here. We're ready to play."
[Peyton] Down! Go!
[radio host] Peyton drops back.
Hands off to number 16, Garrett Burns.
[Fabian] Oh, yeah, Garrett! Yeah, Garrett!
[radio host] Garrett Burns with only a few touches this season,
but really turning it on in this game.
[Fabian] Great job, guys! Hey!
[cheering]
The beginning of the season, I was thinking straight Parker, Parker,
but he started getting double-teamed, even triple-teamed
and so it was, like, I gotta start finding other guys.
You know, B. Curry and Garrett.
And I feel like that's making a big difference in this game.
[radio host] Peyton's looking deep.
This time to wide open number zero, Brayden Curry.
He makes the catch.
Runs it into the end zone.
-[cheering] -Let's go, Zero!
[cheering continues]
[radio host] 35 to 14, Evangel.
Peyton from the shotgun.
Looking for his brother, number 13.
Parker Fulghum has it. It's another Eagle touchdown.
Peyton's doing a good job spreading the ball around tonight.
Fires a bomb downtown, and Brayden Curry is in the end zone.
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you...
[radio host] Eagles cruise to victory tonight
and are back at .500.
Four and four record for the season.
[Denny] Great job, great job!
You had the best game I've ever seen in my life.
Great game!
I feel great, but I think as a team we really feel super great
because we saw in our minds, like, we can win Minden
and we can carry that all the way to a state championship.
That's the path that we're on right now.
[Denny] We found our stride tonight.
[players] Yeah!
Beating Minden was a big step.
But now, this week, we have Homecoming,
and we are playing a great football team in Huntington.
We just got to continue to play like us.
[cheerleader] Sure.
-I love you. -I love you.
[player] Get 'em!
-Yeah! -[laughing]
I'm excited to watch a good little hockey game.
I mean, it's always good to go out with your buddies
and it just makes your brotherhood stronger.
[Peyton] Come on, take our picture.
I'm trying to get on the Jumbotron.
[all cheering]
[Jacob] Hey, y'all wanna see what I'm wearing for Homecoming, boys?
Check out the bow tie. The bow tie, okay?
Ooh! Check out the-- Hey, I gotta turtleneck, though.
Look, look. Bow tie...
This is my third year doing Homecoming and everything.
And, uh, there's a lot of hype.
And we got the parade and the pep rally and all that,
and the dance is on Saturday.
[Parker] The problem is that you can't get a girl.
[all laugh]
I probably-- I'm gonna go solo again. Hang with the boys.
But you know, I'm gonna bring the party. I'm gonna bring the swag.
You know, that's kind of me, and it's gonna be a blast.
I'm just kidding.
[laughs]
[radio host] Good morning, Shreveport.
Welcome to Homecoming week.
I'm hearing that new turf is being laid down
and should be ready for their first home game on Rodney Duron Field.
Let's hope the Eagles bless it with a victory over their neighborhood rivals,
The Huntington Raiders.
When these teams get together, it's always a battle.
Nice arm. Good. Let's go!
Beautiful. Beautiful!
There are a couple of guys on the team that I'm really, really proud of
on another level.
One, Garrett Burns played his first game at receiver
and was the leading receiver.
Garrett comes in to play his first game at running back
and is the leading running back.
[Fabian] Garrett Burns, he tough.
Country tough boy. He a soldier.
'Cause he can get hit by an 18-wheeler, but then he bounce back.
Like, a rubber band, man, he just come right back.
Always just come right back.
And I feel like, against Huntington,
Garrett got a chance to really make something happen this game.
[Denny] Okay. Here's the deal.
Neighborhood battle, baby. The battle for the west side, huh?
Last year's Huntington game was really difficult.
We were up 28 to 8. We were gonna win.
And I just... I couldn't speak. I'm telling you, I could not speak.
[Jacob] Right after that game, I heard all this screaming,
I looked up and then I saw their guys on the sideline run out to the E.
They ran over there and stuck their flag down in the middle of the E
and I was just, like, no way that just happened.
[Peyton] It was at that moment, it was like,
people should never disrespect, you know, this house and what this house means to us
in such a way, and so, Homecoming game this year,
hopefully, we give them a run for their money.
Let's go. Break it down and let's go!
Hey! Hey, champions on three! One, two, three!
[players] Champions!
Okay, look, you see how these are color-coded down here?
Mm-hmm.
So, you're gonna cut your hose and you're gonna connect them
to the color-coded spot.
Homecoming's just right around the corner
and we gotta get that helmet cart finished
so that we can drive it in the parade.
Thankfully, my mom is here to help.
I'm just hoping that we can get it finished by Friday.
Here, go ahead and cut it.
[Haden] Mm-hmm.
How have you been feeling lately?
I got a better report today when I went to the doctor.
What they were hoping would work is actually finally working.
-[Haden] That's good. -[Shannon] Yeah.
So, I got COVID, um, multiple times
and ended up with long-haulers.
And it's been a really rough year for us,
but Homecoming's an important part of every kid's high school experience.
So, for Toad to be able to take his mind off of everything else
and see him have fun, it makes a mama's heart happy.
Hold it down. There's Lew.
[Haden] Look who decided to show up.
You ready to hear this horn?
-Yes, most definitely. -[Shannon] We just finished hooking it up.
[horn plays tune]
[chuckles] That was awesome.
Oh, my goodness.
[Haden] What's next?
[Shannon] Install your sound system.
I'm just ready to bump that music, my favorite part.
[Haden] Oh, we got juice.
Uh-oh. Gotta hear these things.
[Shannon] Put on a beat.
[Bluetooth speaker] Bluetooth mode.
[hip hop music playing]
[chuckles]
Are y'all gonna drive this in the parade?
Of course, we're driving this in the parade.
Homecoming night, everything's just gonna be awesome.
And then after that game if we catch that dub on Homecoming night...
[humming]
[Lew] Homecoming is in a few days.
We gotta have that new fit and that new E-helmet, man.
Gots to. It's a must.
-[Lew chuckles] -Oh, we got some juice, son.
[chuckling continues] Oh, my goodness.
[Haden] This thing goes, man.
[Tra'nyce] I've never been in one of these.
It's actually really pretty out here.
Today I set up a surprise to ask my girlfriend, Tra'nyce,
to Homecoming at the corn maze.
It's been a thing that I've needed to do for a while.
She's been bugging me about it,
so I'm just happy to make her happy real quick.
This way.
-You go first. -[Tra'nyce] Oh, gosh. Oh.
-[Gabe] This where snakes be at. -[chuckles] Oh, please don't say that.
[Gabe] You gotta cut through right here.
I got you something.
I know you've been waiting for a little minute,
so I set you something up...
-[Tra'nyce] Gabriel. -[Gabe] ...for our Homecoming.
-I put a lot of thought into that. -Thank you!
[Gabe] Hey, you see the wordplay, though?
-[Tra'nyce] What does it say? -[Gabe] Running, 'cause you in track.
-[Gabe] Flipping. Jump. Fly. Yeah. -[Tra'nyce] Aw.
You know what? I'll give you an A+ for cleverness.
-I already know that. -I give you an A+ [chuckling]
-I give you an A+ for that one. -I know it.
I am definitely surprised
'cause I thought it was just gonna be like any other date that we've had.
Aw, this is so sweet.
Gabe loves to seem like he's a tough guy,
but he can't really do that with me 'cause I know him too well.
What's in here?
-Oh, you got me Takis. Thank you! -[Gabe] I know it.
Yay!
This is a day I'll never forget 'cause it was just very genuine for me.
Do you know what my favorite thing is about you?
[Gabe] No, I don't.
I love watching you being dedicated in sports.
I think that's kind of why I appreciate you so much
'cause you take the time out your life towards me.
You know, nobody's done that for me.
[Gabe] When you care about something, you'll make time for it
-'cause I care about football and you. -Who's first, though?
-We ain't... we ain't gonna get into that. -[Tra'nyce chuckles]
You're not gonna put me in front of football?
-I love you. -[Tra'nyce chuckling]
[soft music playing]
I asked you to Homecoming.
You never gave me an answer, so is it a yes, or a no?
[chuckles] Of course, Gabe. Of course.
-[Gabe] Good. -I love you.
[Gabe] I love you, too.
Well, how are you feeling?
-I heard you've had quite the week. -I have. I'm here.
Well, I'm glad you're here. I didn't expect to see you.
[Shannon] We got priorities.
I told them, I was like, "You have to promise me
I'm walking that field with my boy on Friday."
And he said, "That's the only promise I'm gonna make you."
I said, "Okay."
Toad's my baby, and he said,
"I want to carry on your last name, Perry."
Well, I know that they're gonna announce him
with his new last name on Wednesday,
so I was like, "You gotta get me outta here."
All right. Y'all ready to pray?
I know we got Homecoming festivities coming up.
This is their first game on the turf.
[Shannon] He's gotten me through a lot.
We've gotten each other through a lot.
I'm not missing his Homecoming week.
...saying thank you, for bringing Shannon into my life.
And for protecting her and getting her out of the hospital.
Soften Toad.
Let him be comfortable that his mama's gonna be okay.
And just keep us safe.
Lord, Jesus, I ask that you bless this house.
-Bless this locker room. Bless our boys. -[woman 1] Yes, Jesus.
[woman 2] Thank you, Jesus.
- Amen. -[all] Amen!
I love you.
I love you, too.
-[Denny] Well, there it is. -[Frances] Oh, my gosh. Ah!
-[Denny] Did you ever think we'd... -[Frances] No...
[Denny] ...walk out that door and see something like this?
[Frances] I did not. Oh, I just cannot believe.
God has been so faithful.
We destroyed our field against Neville the very first game.
And now that this new field is finished, it's gorgeous.
It's absolutely beautiful.
Do you remember our very first game?
Our field house was the back of a truck.
Well, you remember our first uniforms were used uniforms
from a public school.
But it was all we had.
-Here we are. Look at this. -I know.
-Look at this, Mom. Look. -I know, it's just amazing.
[Denny] I mean, it's just gorgeous. And just in time for Homecoming.
[chuckles] It's awesome.
It's a gift from God, that's all I can tell you, for these kids.
I can't wait to just officially present it to those boys
and have them have their first practice on it.
[Frances] And I appreciate the fact that you went to the extra expense
-to have "To God Be The Glory," you know. -[Denny] Yeah.
-[Frances] And "The Best Is Yet To Come." -[Denny] And...
-'Cause... -Now the best has gotta come
for the rest of this season now. No more losses.
[Denny chuckles] I got you. I got you.
-[Havana] Where are we going? -[Haden] We're gonna go fishing.
Yeah, I'm trying to remember how to get back to this pond.
It's been a minute.
So, Havana, is my mom's friend's niece
that they set up with me
as a little blind date thing.
[chuckling] Whoo.
The past year's been rough on my mom and so I'ma do what mama told me to do.
I'm gonna ask her to Homecoming.
But I mean, I'm gonna take her fishing first.
-Oh, it's so pretty. -Its... it's beautiful.
Ugh.
Let's go fishing. Ugh.
-Would you do me a favor? -Yeah.
Will you grab that first box out for me,
in the brown bag?
[Havana] Oh, right here?
[Havana] You want me to open it?
[Haden] Yeah.
[Havana] I thought we were just fishing.
-Yeah, I wanna go. -[Haden] Oh, yeah.
-[Haden chuckles] -Of course, I'll go.
[Haden] Let's go. We're going to Homecoming.
-Thank you. Thank you. -Yeah, it's so cute.
We can actually go fishing now.
My mama is gonna be so happy
and now I'm excited to go to the dance with her.
[Havana] So, is this your first Homecoming?
-[Haden] At Evangel. -At Evangel, yeah.
[Haden] It's gonna be a fun experience, and we'll have a good time.
So, are we gonna do a corsage or a bouquet?
[Haden] I'll be honest. I have no clue what a... a corsage is.
-[chuckles] -[Haden] It's really up to you.
Either way, I just gotta put a flower on my chest.
[Havana] Yeah.
[radio host] Good evening, Eagles fans.
I know we're all excited for the Homecoming parade
and the game on Friday and the dance on Saturday.
But tonight, it's a time for a special Evangel tradition.
The Kings and Queens presentation.
Where we honor all of our graduating students.
I just want to tell you parents this is the greatest group of kids,
and y'all, I'm so proud of you.
If there is one day of the entire school year
that epitomizes what Evangel stands for, today is that day.
Today is the day we honor our seniors.
[applause]
My mom had such novel ideas about how to run a school.
She totally revolutionized the Homecoming Queen situation.
She said, "Every one of my senior girls will be the Homecoming Queen,
and every one of the senior boys will be the King."
Introducing Kody Jackson.
[crowd cheering]
Kody's favorite scripture is Philippians 4:13.
"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."
Evangel has taught Zach how to be a leader on and off the football field.
Introducing Haden "Toad" Perry.
[Haden] I'm walking on the stage and the first thing I hear is
"Haden 'Toad' Perry."
And it was the first time hearing my name called
with the new last name.
I just felt like I should show more pride to my mom's side of the family
and Perry's got a great ring to it.
[applause]
Hell...
My biggest goal was to get out of the hospital.
And to see Toad walk across that stage, I couldn't be prouder.
Well, I truly, truly, truly have the best kid there is.
[student] No, you gotta go that way. No, go this way
Oh, wait. What do I do? I don't... I don't know. [chuckles]
[Stacie] Presenting P. Xavier DiAngelo Jacary Lewis.
[student] Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Boo thing!
[Stacie] Tra'nyce Adiah Spencer.
[cheering and applause]
[Gabe] When I seen Tra'nyce come out,
it was just becoming more so a reality that she's finna leave.
I just have to think about, like,
what we're gonna do, or how we're gonna deal with it or whatever.
And it just hurt me a little bit inside, you know.
So, yeah.
It's very bittersweet 'cause this is my last Homecoming.
I try not to cry when I look at Gabe.
It made me very emotional because it was just, like,
I'm literally leaving one of the most important people to me.
[cheering and applause]
[Haden] I feel like I graduated.
Aren't you so proud of her?
-Oh, my gosh. -[Gabe] Yeah, she did good.
You look so good.
[Denny] You know, gentlemen, we knew this moment would come.
Because we prayed for it, and then it began to happen...
We're not a rich school. Quite the contrary.
Sixty percent of our kids are on financial aid of some kind.
And it's gonna mean so much for these students to have this field
and have their first practice on it.
Now, we're about to have a great moment. You ready?
[player] Yes, sir.
[Denny] We're about to have our first practice on that field.
[cheering and applause]
[player] Oh, yeah!
[all chanting]
[Denny] To be able to walk onto that field,
it's so amazing!
I can see in the future that field being the site
of so many wonderful moments for so many children.
[all cheering]
Walking on the brand-new turf, like, it just feels amazing.
Like, just touching the field, you cannot explain that.
It's just joy.
[Jacob] I'm just speechless.
I'm ready to strap up with the boys. get the helmets on,
and go to work on the new field.
[Fabian] Walking out there and looking at it
kind of brings tears to my heart and my eyes.
It was like, man, this is really it.
[Denny] All right. All right. All right. All right. Listen up. Listen up.
Come on in here. Come on in. Hey, hey!
I want all the elements of what's special tomorrow night,
from everybody, come on.
Somebody speak up.
-[Jacob] We're on a new field. -[Denny] Okay. Great.
-Come on, now. Who else? -[Gabe] We get to beat Huntington.
[Denny] We get to beat Huntington, that's right.
Tomorrow night, I'm excited to get some revenge from last year.
[Lew] Hey, champions on three. One, two, three!
[all] Champions!
-[Indistinct chattering] -[Denny] ...ready for the west side boys.
[indistinct chatter]
[radio host] Welcome to Homecoming day.
The long-awaited showdown with the Huntington Raiders
going down tonight on Evangel's beautiful brand-new turf field.
What a blessing for the school and the community.
So, come on out. See it for yourselves.
I cannot wait to play this Homecoming game on this new turf.
Last year, they danced on our E, and so this is finna be a shocker.
We're gonna put a show on.
[all chanting]
[radio host] If you aren't already out on the streets of Shreveport,
come on down for the Homecoming parade.
[all chanting]
I'm in the cart.
-[Haden] Ugh. I got this. Yeah. -[Lew] Got it.
Yeah, we out c'here!
Whoo! E-helmet, let's go! Whoo!
We got it done. It's finished.
I'm just so happy that we can finally show people the helmet cart.
[all chanting]
I feel good about restoring the cart.
I'm leaving like a legacy in a way in leaving something
for future football players here.
[Haden] Get you some! Come on, baby. Come on!
[Haden] Driving around in the golf cart,
it'll be a forever... a forever memory.
No doubt.
[cheering]
[Denny] To God right now, I pray over these men.
I pray, oh, God, that you'll make their hearts one tonight.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.
-[all] Amen! -[Denny] All right. Let's go.
[indistinct chatter]
[Denny] Right here. Oh, my goodness.
No way. Look. It's a double rainbow.
The other one's right there.
Oh, my God. That's God right there.
I'm not the guy that is always looking for signs and wonders.
But I believe in them.
And I believe that the rainbow was put in the clouds by God,
as if God was smiling on us on this new field.
Gives you chills, doesn't it? Goodness.
I believe you're about to enter into four quarters
of physical football, and I believe you're the more physical team.
[players] Yes, sir!
[Denny] This is about to be a memory that you will never forget.
The first time you played on your field.
It is also going to be one of the most memorable nights of your life
because of the way that you stepped up!
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Here we go, man!
Hey, hey, hey, Coach. Move, move, move...
[radio host] The Eagles are kicking off.
[hip hop music playing]
[Jacob] All them hills, boys.
Everything we done worked for, boy. We put it out here all night, all right?
-[Gabe] Yeah. -[Jacob] Let's go!
Evangel and Huntington playing is always a big deal.
Always a big deal.
I told the boys, "This is your time right now,
to make something happen."
[radio host] Kagen Kent with a line drive kick up the middle.
Raiders providing protection for number 82 until he's dropped at the 36-yard line.
Right now, here we go. Hey! Hey!
In his face! In his face! Yeah!
[radio host] First and ten.
Here's the snap.
The give to number two, runs into a brick wall
also known as number nine, Gabe Reliford.
The defense is pumped up tonight.
[Fabian] Come on, guys! Gabriel.
Let me get some, baby. Get 'em! Get 'em!
[radio host] Raiders quarterback back to pass.
It's picked off by Jamal Jordan, number 40.
He gets the Eagles on the board with an easy touchdown.
[Fabian] Good job, good job.
[radio host] Eagles up seven nothing early.
A 29-yard interception return on that play.
Huntington running back breaks through the middle.
Eagles with some poor tackling.
They're chasing him down, but Huntington, all the way on that one.
[Denny] Come on! We gotta stop that stuff.
All of it.
Football's really a game of momentum.
The momentum of a game could switch at the snap of a finger.
One play you can have a touchdown, the next play, fumble,
and then the other team scores.
So, you just always have to have your head in the game.
[radio host] Huntington converts the two points to go up
eight to seven before the half.
These teams are giving it everything they have tonight.
Down! Let's go!
[radio host] Third quarter.
Peyton gives to Garrett Burns.
A big gain up the middle, before he's taken down.
Peyton goes back to Garrett Burns.
He's a freight train tonight.
Number 77, "Toad" Perry, with a good job muscling Garrett forward
to another first down.
Garrett showing real grit on that play.
Garrett Burns is very gifted.
And I can't believe the game Garrett's having right now.
[radio host] Garrett Burns.
A 42-yard run.
Makes it first and goal for Evangel.
Yeah! Yeah!
[hip hop music playing]
[radio host] Peyton hands it off to "Dayday" Drake.
Holds onto it just long enough to cross the goal line.
Evangel touchdown.
I just got the aggression in me and I got a big heart.
If you're in my way, I gotta go through you,
around you... but I'ma find some type of way to keep going
and I'm not gonna stop.
[Parker] Offense is moving good. Our defense is moving really good.
Uh, we're rolling right now.
It's time to just keep our feet on the gas.
[radio host] Eagles are trying to extend their lead.
Garrett Burns barrels down the field.
Pushing through one, two, three Huntington defenders.
Squeezes out eight more yards.
My goodness, Garrett Burns with a tremendous effort
to get it to the goal line.
But he's still down on the ground.
Team doctors quickly at his side.
-[Denny] What happened? Who's hurt? -[Jacob] Garrett.
[Jacob] It hurt a lot seeing Garrett go down.
The guy that hit him, I had him.
And he slipped off of me as I was trying to get back at him
and he came down and cleaned up Garrett.
He laid there and I was like, "No. No, no, no, no, no."
Like, I could've prevented that whole thing right there.
-[Denny] Where's he hurting by? -[medic] His head.
[Jacob] Yeah.
[medic] Can you squeeze? Squeeze hard. Know where you are?
Do you know the score of the game tonight?
[Denny] You know how proud I am of you, buddy?
You know that? Huh?
[Garrett] Well, how much?
[cheering and applause]
[radio host] A feeling of relief as Garrett Burns
is walking off on his own.
Let me tell you, this is one tough guy.
Let's see how Evangel handles losing a key component to their offense tonight.
[Parker] This whole team is a family
Seeing your brother lying on the ground like that
really does hurt, but I think it's really gonna
light a fire under our team.
Like, man, this one's for him.
[radio host] Peyton drops back. He's got room.
Fires a missile towards the end zone.
Parker hauls it in for the score.
Evangels up 21 to 8.
Raiders in the no-huddle. Quarter back looks deep.
[Fabian] He coming in! Watch him! Watch him!
[radio host] Huntington takes back the momentum
with a 36-yard touchdown pass.
It's not over yet, folks.
Huntington with the ball again.
Huntington's offense has all the pressure on them.
They're hungry to send this game into overtime with a single touchdown.
Evangel's gotta stop 'em.
Eagles defense doing everything they can to keep 'em out of the end zone.
Gotta cover!
[radio host] Less than two minutes remaining.
It's a war zone out there.
The Eagles push to hold that line.
I feel like we have the for sure turnover notch to win this game.
I'm gonna do whatever it takes to help this team.
[radio host] Raiders running back looking for an opening.
Gabe Reliford knocks the ball loose.
Eagles recover with just seconds left to play.
[cheering]
[radio host] And your final score tonight.
Your Evangel Eagles, 21.
The Huntington Raiders, 14.
What a great high school football game.
This game means a lot.
And certainly more than any game has this season.
Everything came full circle. Yeah, I'd say we got our revenge.
[Peyton] We definitely got our revenge.
Being able to, you know, basically reclaim our own turf,
it definitely feels great.
[cheering]
[Denny] Good job! Good job, man!
We were able to right the wrong from last year.
It was beautiful. So, I'm happy for them.
[Jacob] To be able to win this game on Homecoming night on the new turf,
it feels amazing.
But I'm definitely beating myself up because my buddy Garrett got hit.
And I mean, that's my job, is to protect him so he doesn't get hurt.
So, I'm just hoping that he's okay.
-[Denny] Hey, I just got one thing to say. -[Fabian] Let's hear it.
[all chanting] Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Yeah!
[Denny] What'd you say?
[Jacob] Garrett's on the ground in front of him.
-[Denny] Who is it? -[Jacob] Garrett.
[Denny] What's going on with him?
[woman] We need to call an ambulance for that boy, right now!
[Denny] Call an ambulance right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[woman] Right now! Call it!
Now, all of a sudden, we look over and Garrett's on the ground.
And he's passed out.
We can't get the kid to wake up.
[Fabian] Stay awake, G-money, come on!
[woman] Come on, Garrett! Wake up, buddy!
[Fabian] Stay with me, baby!
Garrett sitting there unresponsive,
like, the EMTs are going crazy rushing everywhere.
But we're all hoping and praying that he's gonna be all right.
[Haden] This is by far the scariest moment of the season.
I mean, nobody wants to see their best buddy down like that.
[woman] Stay awake, Garrett.
[medic] Seven. Ten seconds.
