Paonia High School Wins State Championship Football Title. The 2013 Paonia High School Football Champions are celebrating tonight. The Eagles beat the Centauri Falcons 32-24. This was a division 1A game. Close to 1000 people showed up in Paonia for the game. That's almost as many people that live in town.
This was a come from behind victory. After the first quarter, Centauri led 12-6. Paonia thought that was enough and took the lead in the second quarter and held on to win the game.
In regular season play, Centauri handed Paonia their only defeat of the season. That was a close game with a final score of 7-6. This time around, Paonia's offense was too much for Centauri and the Paonia defense held strong and forced turnovers.
This was a great game. Both teams played very well and showed the athletic skills that took them this far into post season play.
Congratulations Paonia Eagles!!!
