East Lawrence Eagles have won three straight games, marking their first such streak in five years. The Eagles beat Oakman 34-6 on Friday, securing their second win in Class 3A, Region 5. Running back Chantler Bolding scored two touchdowns and amassed 129 rushing yards, including the first score. Bolding shared that the team's determination and recent success have boosted morale.
First-year head coach Jamie Suggs praised the defense, which shut down Oakman after their opening drive. Wide receiver Bryce Young, who returned on his 17th birthday, added 121 yards on three catches and threw two touchdown passes. The Eagles' offensive explosion was complemented by their defensive efforts, which prevented the Titans from scoring another touchdown after their first.
Throughout the season, the Eagles have emphasized practice and mutual support, with Bolding noting that "we trash talk, we'll get on each other but it's all love because we want each other to be better." With the win, East Lawrence moves closer to a fourth consecutive victory in their next game against Haleyville.
