Two late fourth quarter touchdowns scored in less than two minutes ushered the Eagles to a come-from-behind 35-28 win over Hays in a thrilling non-district affair at Birkelbach Stadium.

Hays struggled at times to halt the combination of Georgetown senior quarterback Cooper Bell and senior wide receiver Caden Leggett. Bell went 21 of 33 for 341 yards and five total touchdowns, while Leggett finished with 238 receiving yards on eight receptions and three scores.
