Football Beats Good Counsel, Sets Sights on DeMatha
Football captured its second WCAC victory of the season with a decisive win over Good Counsel last Friday in Olney, MD. The Eagles fell behind early in the first quarter after an offensive stall and a special teams miscue that set up Good Counsel deep in Gonzaga territory. A short field goal gave Good Counsel a 3–0 lead.
Gonzaga answered immediately on the next possession when senior quarterback Jason Lindsay connected with fellow captain Lincoln Shelton ’27 for a 60-yard touchdown. In the second quarter, running back Asheton Burton ’27 found the end zone twice for the Eagles—once through the air and once on the ground.
Leading 21–3 at halftime, the Gonzaga defense stood firm for the remainder of the game. Defensive back Jackson Waddy ’28 recorded an interception, while defensive linemen DJ Dockery ’29 and Tyler Frederick ’27 anchored the pass rush up front while senior safety Ozias Tulloch had a great game on special teams. Here are some highlights from the victory:
Gonzaga is now 6–1 overall and 2–0 in league play. This week, the Eagles host DeMatha at home this Saturday at 2 PM. The game will also be Senior Day, when the program celebrates its players from the Class of 2027. Tickets are available here and check out the gameday program here. If you are out of the area or cannot make it to Eye Street, you can stream the game live here.
Looking ahead to next week, the regular-season finale against rival St. John’s will take place at St. John’s with a 1:00 PM kickoff. In the meantime, you can follow the team on Instagram here.
