It would be week three of the Champlain Valley Atheltic Conference season and the Saranac Lake Red Storm would travel to Beekmentown and take on the Eagles in what would turn out to be a shootout of a game. The scoring would start off slow as the Red Storm would have the lone score in the opening quarter by Carter Hewitt on a nine-yard run for the 7-0 lead. The Eagles would fight back and tie the game at the 4:45 mark of the second quarter on the Andrew Vannatten 66 yard run for the score and tie the game at seven. Although on ensuring Red Storm drive they would retake the lead at 14-7 on the Carter Hewitt 47 yard run. Although the Eagles would have an answer as Andrew Vannatten would strike again this time through the air with a 39-yard pass and would tie the game at 14 with under three minutes left in the half and that's where the score is is would remain for the first half. During the halftime, the Beekmentown Eagles would honor many different greats from their sports pass as they would enter their first class into the Beekmantown Eagles hall of fame. Although when the teams came back for the second half they must have really hit the Gatorade for some extra energy cause the shootout was on. The Red Storm would regain the lead for the third time on Carter Hewitt's third rushing touchdown of the night and make it a 21-14 game. Although the Eagles would have answered five minutes later not be outdone Andrew Vannatten would get his third touchdown of the night (2 rushings, 1 passing) although they would miss the extra point 21-20. The Red Storm seeing an opening would take advantage as Carter Hewitt would strike for a 51-yard touchdown 30 seconds later and extend their lead to 28-20. The Red Storm would extend their lead as the fourth quarter started as Hewitt would get his fifth touchdown of the night and make it a 35-20 game. Then just two minutes later the Red Storm would try to put the icing on the cake with a 36-yard interception for a touchdown and extend their lead to 42-20. That is where the game would stay till there was about 1:30 left in the game when Andrew Vannaten would get his 2nd receiving touchdown of the game and the Eagles would try for two and fail and the score would be 42-26. The Eagles would recover the onside kick and get a quick score again from Vannatten with 36 seconds left in the game to make 42-33. So once again they would attempt the onside kick and recovery it again. The Eagles would take it quickly down the field and score again thanks to Andrew Vannaten and make it 42-39. The late Eagles charge wouldn't be enough as they lose 42-39 and fall to 1-2 on the season while the Red Storm go to 3-1 on the season.
