PISGAH, Ala. — The Pisgah Eagles defeated the Plainview Bears 12-8 on Friday night.

The rain played a big factor in the game, with both teams fumbling five times each. Both teams lost the ball three of the five times and Plainview had an interception.

With 10:48 remaining in the first, Pisgah scored on a 44-yard rushing touchdown by Nathaniel Cornelsion.  The extra point failed but gave the Eagles the 6-0 advantage.  

The Bears put points on the board with 9:15 remaining in the first half, with a Noah White 28-yard pass connection to Corey Blair, for the score.   Brody McCurdy ran in the 2-point conversion to take the 8-6 lead.  Pisgah answered back with 7:22 remaining in the second quarter on a 4-yard rushing touchdown by Ryan Barrett to take the 12-8 lead.

Wet weather along with penalties hampered the Plainview comeback.  The Bears had 11 penalties for a total of 95 yards.  

Noah White went 4-for-10 for a total of 48 yards for Plainview.  Brody McCurdy led the Bears with 69 yards on 22 attempts. 

Plainview will travel to take on the Crossville Lions Friday night.
