The Rebels took a punch Friday night, and then they punched back. Hard.
On its first play from scrimmage, Gaffney notched its first and only points of the half on a 96-yard pass play.
The quick score didn’t rattle Reggie Shaw’s Rebels, as they cruised to a 34-14 victory.
An undefeated Eastside team ran into its toughest test of the season last Friday, falling 49-23 on the road to Chapman.
The Eagles first loss came after a closely contested first half. Eastside trailed 14-10 heading into intermission, but the Chapman offense went into high gear late, putting the game out of reach.
