BOCA RATON – The Atlantic Eagles are back to looking like themselves after a much needed win, downing the Boca Raton Bobcats 43-oh 7 and improving their record to 2-2 on the season.

After late losses in previous weeks, Atlantic was able to put together a complete game from start to finish as it scored its first points

Junior Devon Byrd put the Eagles on the board early in first quarter.

“My defensive line made a good play to strip the ball, and I picked up and took it home,” Byrd said.

“Me and my team wanted to come out and set the tone, make plays,” Parrish said. “We didn’t want them to score.”

Parrish also added a rushing and receiving touchdown on the offensive side of the ball.
