O'Neill's Sean Coventry makes a leap for the ball in last Friday's game against Battle Creek.

The O'Neill Eagles football team can't catch a break this season with all the tough competition they face in their conference. A 63-0 loss on Friday against Battle Creek was no exception.

The Eagle's next opponents will be fierce when they take on the Wayne Blue Devils this week at Wayne and Boone Central on Oct. 22 for the final home game. The Eagles had trouble on both sides of the ball on Friday and couldn't get anywhere near the end zone to put points on the board. The Eagle's defense also suffered being outmatched by the Battle Creek offense which seemed to score on every possession. The Braves had 373 yards of total offense while the Eagles had 115. The Eagles ran 48 plays for six first downs and had two penalties for 15 yards. The Braves ran 51 plays for six first downs and had three penalties for 25 yards.
