</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[ Elverado-Trico led The Vienna Co-op 22-20 at halftime, but the Eagles stormed back and pulled away from the Falcons in the second half for a 38-22 win in Elkville this past Friday.
Vienna spread out the rushing attack for 365 total yards on the ground, led by Stephen Sullivan's 141 yars on 18 carries with 2 touchdowns.
Sullivan's score with 1:55 to go in the third put the Eagles on top for the first time, and to stay. Trae Foster (6 carries, 62 yards) and Patrick Gray (7-76) added fourth quarter touchdowns to extend The Vienna Co-op's lead.
E-T quarterback Alex McGill led the way for the Falcons with 96 yards rushing on 17 carries, also completing 6-of-14 passes for 99 yards, but was intercepted twice.
McGill's two rushing touchdowns (of 35 and 17 yards) both came in the second quarter, as did Dalton Porter's 13-yard run for six Falcon points.
Porter had 38 yards on 6 carries in the game, also hauling in 3 passes for 30 yards. Wade Bowlin and Randy Goetz also had catches for Elverado-Trico.
Vienna, which did not complete a pass in the game, had four different ball carriers top 60 yards rushing on the night.
The Falcons (0-5) are at Hamilton County next Friday.
