Argyle wins ninth straight game

The Argyle Eagles continued their impressive 2014 campaign with another big win over Pinkston at 64-14 on Senior Night, giving them their ninth straight win this year and 25th straight overall, dating back to last year’s state title team.

The Eagles seemed to stall on the first drive, but executed a fake punt with Hunter Markwardt getting all the way down the 5-yard line.

Nick Ralston would then take it into the endzone, giving him his 75th overall touchdown in his career as an Eagle.

After a Viking punt, Argyle’s defense began to roll, with Cooper Rodger finding Drew Estrada in the end zone for a 17-yard score. Rodgers would throw another touchdown strike on the next drive, this time to Gage McCook, to give the Eagles a commanding 20-0 lead.

After another Rodgers touchdown in the first, Argyle began to pour on the scoring in the second quarter, with another short Ralston touchdown run,  and a Dane Ledford pick-6, to make it 44-0 at the half.

After Pinkston scored on a long touchdown run on the first play of the second half, the Eagles continued the scoring barrage, with a long Erik Ramon touchdown run, and two Chase Carrick touchdown runs, to give the Eagles a 65-point night.

The Argyle seniors continued to add to their football feats, with the senior class now having an overall record of 50-4, with a state championship from last year under their belt and looking forward to a second consecutive title this year.

Argyle faces off at Sanger in their regular season finale next week.
