Recap: Totino-Grace quarterback Kyle Halverson hit halfback Ivan Burlak on a beautifully thrown deep ball down the left sideline for a 41-yard scoring strike near the end of the third quarter, giving the Eagles (3-1) a 14-point lead that would later swell to 21 in a statement victory at home over No. 2-ranked Osseo. The reception was Burlak’s third of four total touchdowns — the other three came on the ground —in a game in which the Eagles wore down the Orioles on both sides of the ball.

Key to the game: Trailing 7-0 in the first quarter, Osseo (3-1) turned the ball over on back-to-back trips to the red zone. Totino-Grace increased its lead shortly after, and the Orioles were forced to play catchup all night.
