The Hennessey Eagles delivered an unforgettable performance Friday night, crushing the Bulldogs 49-8 in a game that showcased their explosive offense and relentless defense.
The Eagles set the tone early when Mario Lopez scooped up a fumble and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown. Brytan Gardner followed with a 3-yard run and a successful two-point conversion, giving Hennessey an 8-0 lead after the first quarter.
Quarterback Levi Ferrell was outstanding, scoring on a 1-yard rush and throwing three touchdown passes—two to Gardner and one to Luis Macias-Montoya. Ferrell’s poise and precision kept the Bulldogs off balance all night.
Defensively, Hennessey was nearly impenetrable. The Eagles shut down the Bulldogs’ running game, forced multiple turnovers, and didn’t allow a single score until late in the third quarter. Ben Smith led the charge with eight tackles and a sack, while the rest of the defense swarmed to the ball, delivering big hits and stopping drives before they could gain momentum.
Alex Gonzalez added an 18-yard rushing touchdown, and Gardner capped the night with a 2-yard score in the fourth quarter.
With this commanding win, the Eagles continue to prove they’re a force to be reckoned with this season. Hennessey will face Kellyville next Thursday night, with kickoff set for 7:00 PM.
