East Stomped by Rival West

East Fairmont was able to hold 9-1 Fairmont Senior to a mear 9-0 lead going into the
fourth during the 89th annual East-West game. Although East Fairmont was the undisputed
underdog, the Bees came out fighting. East was 3-6 going into Friday's match up, and was
playing for nothing more than pride. Hopes of going to the playoffs had been halted, so
upsetting the favored team was the fire that pushed the Bees to an impressive three quarter
game against West. East forced two first half turnovers and blocked the extra point from
Aaron Fetty's early touchdown. However, in the fourth Fairmont Senior came together and
scored 21 points, ending the game at 30-6.
