“He played real solid tonight,” Howard said. “We have a nice rotation of running backs, and they all had a pretty good game. A lot of that goes to our offensive line. I was proud of them.”

Spring Garden (1-0) held a 7-0 lead at the half. Appalachian (0-1) scored a touchdown at the end of the third quarter to make it 7-6. The Eagles went for the two-point conversion, but the attempt was stopped for a loss by the Panthers’ Tyler Smart.
