Last week: Made five clutch plays that were key to the Eagles’ capturing their first Far East Class A football championship, dethroning reigning champion Osan American 23-0 on Saturday at Eagles Field, Misawa Air Base.
Junchaya, a senior transfer from Tabb High in Yorktown, Va., intercepted two passes, recovered a fumble that kept an Eagles touchdown drive alive, caught a 24-yard touchdown pass and threw a block that sprang Eagles running back Josh McDonald for a 59-yard TD run.
“He’s incredible,” Edgren athletic director Jim Burgeson said. “He’s got the same work ethic in class as he does on the field. I’d like 20 more move-ins like him.”
