Eastside football fans who stayed until the end of Friday’s game against Wade Hampton were rewarded with a 41-34 finish that will likely be remembered.
Although the Eagles scored first on a five-yard DeShawn Sullivan touchdown run, they relinquished the lead shortly thereafter and trailed until 46 seconds were left in the game.
