ABOUT THE EAGLES: They are calling it a “new tradition” in Ashland. Under the guidance of first-year coach Roger VanDeZande, who previously coached at Blackburn College, Southern Boone thumped Cole Camp 46-7 in Week 1. Last year, Southern Boone, which led 46-0 at the half, didn’t win a game. …The Eagles have made the transition to a double-wing offense – the same style Houston played under coach Wes Beachler. Southern Boone had eight players carry the ball and racked up 374 yards on 45 carries, an average of more than 8 yards per carry. …The Eagles have five players at 300 or more pounds on a beefy offensive line. … Sam Mueller led the Eagles with 99 yards on 13 carries. Dyllon Harper rushed six times for 60 yards. Quarterback Cole Finley completed 3-of-3 passes for 47 yards.
