Eagles rout Gainesville State School
Legacy Christian Academy (7-1, 2-0) had an easy time during its district-opening win against Flower Mound Coram Deo Academy two weeks ago.
It was much of the same Friday night against Gainesville State School, with the Eagles earning a 49-8 victory and improving to 2-0 against district counterparts this season.
Senior running back Ovie Urevbu led all players in the game with 110 yards and three touchdowns on just five carries. Urevbu contributed to an LCA ground attack that averaged 8.29 yards per carry.
Senior quarterback Adam Beck added another 62 yards and one score on the ground while completing his only pass attempt for a 37-yard touchdown strike to senior receiver Zach Snider.
The team’s defense made things easier on Beck and the LCA offense by forcing four takeaways.
However, the Eagles will get a tougher test tonight with a 7:30 p.m. contest against McKinney Christian.
The two teams will kick off the action from McKinney North.
