Cardinals overwhelm Eagles in homecoming game

Homecoming week in Annandale is truly a week-long event, starting with Powder Puff on Sunday and a dance on Saturday, with coronations and celebrations in between.  Everyone has their favorite part of the week but the biggest public spectacle happened Friday night as the Cardinal football team “protected the nest” against the Apollo Eagles.  All the extra activities can sometimes become distractions, at least in Coach Walter’s mind: “It’s a crazy seven days for the kids and you always worry about their focus and energy level for the game that week.  I was really happy with the way our kids came ready to play.  We were locked in and came out and put a show on for the huge homecoming crowd.”
