In the loss to Live Oak, the Eagles took an early 7-0 advantage on Hank Nash’s touchdown catch from quarterback Patrick Gullatt, who was 10-of-16 passing.
Nash also had two interceptions on defense. In addition, defensively against Live Oak, linebackers Christian Valdez and Brogan Chapman each had double-digit tackles. Also, punter Caleb Hart averaged 45 yards on his kicks.
“Live Oak defensive pressure forced some quick three-and-outs, and our lack of depth showed up quickly,” first-year TCA head coach Scott Campbell said. “Credit Live Oak, they played hard and were much improved from their first ballgame.
“We continue to get young guys quality game experience and that will pay off.”
Against Sacred Heart, Gullatt was 11-of-27 passing for 182 yards with a TD pass to Hart, who caught four passes for 89 yards. Also, Nash had five catches for 38 yards, Dane Southworth caught two for 70 yards and Brayden Terrell netted a 25-yard catch.
Pearson Kuykendall carried the ball 11 times for 58 yards and a TD and Gullatt had five carries for 20 yards.
In all, the Eagles had 308 total yards of offense.
Valdez led the defense with 10 tackles and Nash had an interception.
“Lots of young guys gained experience, including two freshmen starters on defense,” Campbell said.
The Eagles are off this week before before traveling to Tyler Bishop Gorman on Sept. 19 for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
