With so much on the line, Gibbs turned to what it knows best.
Physicality and running the football.
The combination lifted the Eagles to a 17-14 home win over Heritage on Friday, cemented a spot in the postseason, and eliminated the Mountaineers from postseason contention in the process.
“The later the game went the more physical we got,” Gibbs coach Brad Turner said.
“They’ve fought hard all season long, and it was great to see them win a game like that.”
