Our Sonic Player-of-the-game for Thursday, September 7, is Matt Armstrong of the Oak Hall (Gainesville) football team.
The senior accounted for all six touchdowns in the Eagles’ 41-7 win against visiting Bronson. He had four passing scores to three different receivers and two running scores.
Armstrong completed a 58-yard touchdown pass to Austin Gill down the left sidelines for the Eagles’ first score with 9:39 to play in the opening quarter. It was one of four scores that spanned 40 or more yards.
He added a 40-yard scoring run and a 6-yard TD pass to Austin Gill to give Oak Hall (2-0) a 20-0 lead at the half.
In the second half, Armstrong completed a 43-yard pass for a TD to sophomore Rocky DiBernardo. That extended the lead to 28-0 following Armstrong’s 2-point conversion run with 6:43 to play in the third quarter.
He would finish with a 15-yard TD run and a 47-yard scoring pass to senior Joe Ruth.
Oak Hall is back in action on Friday, September 15, as the Eagles welcome St. Joseph Academy (St. Augustine). Keep up with Eagles’ football by tuning in to the Oak Hall Football Report presented by Sonic Drive-In.
