EPC has played no great talent this year to prove they are deserving of their ranking.  McCrory, Salem, Des Arc are not 2011 elite teams.  This looks a lot like McCrory vs. Bearden, both were undefeated and Bearden mercy ruled them. 

They may be very good, but I'm just saying they haven't played anyone that would prove that yet.  They can show themselves this Friday against a Bears team that is clicking quite well late in the season and with Lowe back, the Bears are playing like they have something to prove.  Its gonna be a good game, but I think Bearden gets the win.

hey sir, there are only 8 teams left and EPC and McCrory are two of them..  don't start with we haven't played any1..  McCrory just man handled a big and strong team in Hazen..   

EPC may lose..  I don't think they will but from now on it is no easy game for anyone..

EPC has crushed that not so great talent to. they have done what they are supposed to do and that is beat who is put in front of them. this should be a heck of a game and i am looking forward to it. Not gonna predict a score but Ill take EPC. Speed kills and they have a bunch of it.

EPC is a good team, but they haven't played an elite 2A team this season have they?  Who would it be?  That's all I was saying.  EPC may be the best team in 2A this year, but you just can't point to it with any of the wins they have.  They haven't played anyone in the top tier.  The Bears know they are going up against a very good team and they will prepare for the best.  EPC should do likewise.

Elite 8...this the playoffs.  Anything can happen with any game now.  Take care of business and capitalize on mistakes.  Teams that do that move on.  It's gonna be a good game.

Post by: Classof91 on November 19, 2011, 12:05:58 pm
Your right.  EPC is a very good team and the final 8 are there for a reason.  Its always exciting to see different teams go against each other.  No doubt it will be an exciting and game.   :)

EPC seems to be more of a finesse team. Bearden will hit, and hit and hit then hit you again and when they ain't hitting you, they will finisse you. Bearden will take this one. They are focused and playing with 110 percent effort for four quarters. Should be a great game.........

DJ ain't the boys on the line you have to worry about, they do their job, but Bearden secondary will hurt you. Defonta Lowe is a D-1 defensive player and he's got 2-3 DB that are just under him. Like I said earlier should be a great game. Good thing about this is BBNET will record this and post it on their sight......Play hard but play safe......

Post by: bdubyab60 on November 19, 2011, 04:26:56 pm
EPC may finess on offense but they still bring the leaather at the end of those runs and they bring the hat on defense to. Last night on the big rund by Darius there were 5 maybe 6 kids from Des Arc laying on their backd from huge hits.

oh bdubyab60, they better keep that head up trying to catch our guys or they will be decleated.. 

i hope all get to make it to Lepanto and with a safe trip..  it will be back on the radio and upstream on the internet for those that can't make the travel.. 

the upstream is  www.1039thegame.com   they do a good job and based in jonesboro..  sports talk all day and when you get close enough you can listen to the pregame around 4:00-6:00..  103.9 is the radio station..

I understand that EPC has been taking everybody to the cleaners one after another.  They look like a team that could go all the way.  I believe this game will ether make em or break em.  Looking at their schedule I dont believe they have played any true competition.  Or a team that can play on the same talent level as them.  Bearden has that talent, besides a lineman that will be absent I believe bearden is at full strength and ready to keep going.  We have had a tough play off trail playing a Good Hackett team and a challenging Mt. Ida squad.  EPC has home field and that is a very long ride for the Bears.  I think it will all come down to experience and Im going with my town Bearden in a very good, close game.  '

Bearden 36

Epc 35
Title: Re: Bearden @ EPC
Post by: cuz on November 19, 2011, 07:42:35 pm
One advantage noted is this. EPC hasn't played a team of equal caliber, by that I mean, speed and depth. JC would match them all around. Bearden played us hard and even though they lost it could of just as easily gone the other way.Second advantage, correct me if I'm wrong DJ, EPC starters haven't played a whole game yet. Beardens have, against JC and when Mr. Lowe was injured. So they match up pretty equal in talent, speed and depth so these two points make me give the edge to Bearden.One other point to consider is this, Defonta started as a freshman at QB
giving Bearden a small edge in experience in the QB position...........

No offense taken. Just pointing out that what happened four years ago doesn't compare to growth, both physically and mentally, that these young men go through in last two years. Some times we forget just how young they are.

You watched one game and you come to the conclusion Bearden's no good. Well the same conclusion could be said about McCrory for the way they played Hazen earlier in the year. They had a off night, and didn't play with a key player. Well Mr. Lowe is back his team is focused and they are playing Bear Ball. They have the talent, the speed and depth. I wouldn't be so quick to draw conclusions on the Bears after watching one game.......... ;)

Starters played the whole game against Des Arc. Des Arc had a good game plan and executed it pretty well in the first half. you could tell though that they didnt match up. EPC had a couple drives killed with penalties and turnovers and a touchdown called back. This team did go to the second round last year and took carlisle to OT dropping the conversion that could have won that game. After that first half this week they could have gotten frustrated or down but they didnt and came out the second half and took control. EPC is not a one man team I think this is 4 straight weeks now that we have had multiple 100 yard rushers. You cant just sit on Darius or Aj there are way more weapons on this team. Im not saying they cant be beat but that it will be a tall task for anybody.

I think the Bears will win, but regardless of that, I know they will be the toughest test EPC has faced this season.  I know we have to bring it ourselves though or we'll be going home with another L.  Hopefully that won't happen!  Good luck to both teams and praying for no serious injuries!

no one said bearden wasn't good said they looked horrible that night. they were 10 turnovers in the 3rd and 4 qt alone and hackett wasn't hitting them in the mouth. either way it goes lowe or turner will have bragging rights over the other next year as they play for the hogs. in 2a on player is a big diffrence. gl to both but epc takes this one.epc too fast and too deep.

Im hopin for a rematch EPC is a much better team than last year no doubt. they can run and they can throw it when needed and thats when we started movin the ball last year in that game. Lets see if we can get this rematch but both have to take care of business this week. By the way we have everyone back from that game except for one senior running back and plus some more have stepped up ill take a team over a single player any day.

Crunching some numbers!!
EPC is scoring on average 51.7 points per game. And allowing 10.4 points a game.

Bearden is scoring on average 35.5 points per game. And allowing 8.4 points per game.

I'm thinking Bearden might show up with more defense then EPC is used to! But Good luck to both teams!!!

yall just dont understand the level of intensity that bears play with. thier offense with lowe is good but defensively is where they shine. a lot like jc on defense no superstars(with the exception of lowe) and average looking kids but when 3 or 4 of them hit you at once it seems like they are playing with 13. if youre starters are out at half it may be because yall cant get em to go go back on the field. bearden by 14.

We have seen plenty of gang tackling this year. Im not gonna talk down anyone but EPC brings the hat on D to. And on onffense they have at least 8 kids that are capable of putting up big numbers and taking it to the house at any given time. you might gang tackle a few plays  but its hard to do that every play with the type of atheltes EPC has. Im not saying ?EPC cant be beat but it will be tough for Bearden to stop all the weapons that EPC has. And everyone we have played this year has been intense on defense trying to knock them off so I dont think Bearden will play any harder than EPC and vice versa. I expect a dog fight to the end from both teams.

The Applebees in West Memphis will have the game on probably. Also there is a sports bar call Frogs just off Missouri street turn right off of Missouri by the McD's and its on the left pat Bonanza. There is also a Coltons in Marion just up the road that will probably carry the game as well. its easy to see the Applbees and the Coltons from the road.

It's obvious you haven't ever seen Bearden play ball. It's also a lot different playing a defence that plays intense and one that is intense. Do a little research and you'll see just how good Bearden is on D. Also Bearden has the talent to win without Mr. Lowe, but he is the nucleus of the team. Look at the Hackett game, for sure a off night for the bears with a lot of turnovers, but they didn't quit but adapted and overcome a good football team.I've watched Bears play several games through the years and two this season and all of EPC hype is just fuel on the fire making the Bears more focused........ ;)

Title: Re: Bearden @ EPC
Post by: bbg123 on November 21, 2011, 10:11:39 am
EPC has played one good defense in McCrory and one mediocre defense in Des Arc. EPC scored 35 and 34 points in those games. They can score points, but they havent been challenged by a legitimate defense yet. I think Bearden brings that to the table. This will be the typical classic game of sound Defense vs. high powered Offense. Usually, usually, the defense almost always get in the edge in high school on up to college and NFL. So, with all that said I'm going with Bearden in this one. Look for the team to reach high 20's win the game.
Title: Re: Bearden @ EPC
Post by: bdubyab60 on November 21, 2011, 10:24:39 am
That intensity can be broken by playmakers and Epc has plenty and I promise you EPC will be just as intense. And let's not forget that EPC has a solid defense as well. They fly to the ball and hit as hard as anyone so I think this intensity will cancel out and the playmakers on both teams will have to make plays to win. I don't EPC will score 50 but they wil score enough to win this game. Probably with a special teams play

To me, unless unknown circumstances were at play, Parkers Chapel and EPC performed against a common opponent about the same.  Bearden blanks Parkers Chapel at Parkers Chapel w/o Lowe.

To me, unless unknown circumstances were at play, Parkers Chapel and EPC performed against a common opponent about the same.  Bearden blanks Parkers Chapel at Parkers Chapel w/o Lowe.
what do you think about this
Magazine 34 Salem 2
EPC 49 salem 7
Like opponent hardly ever works. EPC could have beaten Des arc by more bad penalties and a turnover killed to scoring drives. Plus Des arc didn't snap the ball until there was about 1 second left on the play clock the entire time they had the ball. And beating a PC team that on many of these boards was depleted by injuries means nothing. EPC is healthy and if Bearden comes in thinking this is gonna be easy you are mistaken. I promise you EPC is not taking Bearden lightly and will be ready Friday

Bearden isn't taking EPC lightly either.  If Like opponents hardly ever work then how in the world do people rate teams across conferences?  At some level it does play into the equation.  I also said, "unless unknown circumstances were at play" meaning I know that teams can have injuries, refs can be wrong, ....  In this case ya'll are saying the refs are the reason EPC didn't hang more on Des Arc; I got it.

Didn't say the refs I said penalties I actually saw a couple  and yes common opponent comes in to play when talking about rankings but it rarely works when saying this team will beat that team

The Applebees in West Memphis will have the game on probably. Also there is a sports bar call Frogs just off Missouri street turn right off of Missouri by the McD's and its on the left pat Bonanza. There is also a Coltons in Marion just up the road that will probably carry the game as well. its easy to see the Applbees and the Coltons from the road.
Frog's and Bonanza in WM are both shutdown. My suggestion would be either Applebee's in WM or Mi Pueblo Mexican restaurant in Marion, full bar and will definitely have the Hogs game on there as well. Those are the only 2 place I can tell you would have it up i-40/i-55 close to Lepanto.

Thats the word around Bearden too so I would imagine our coaches will prepare as best they can.  We have some good players too!  ;D

This is one of the great things about playing unfamiliar foes, you never really know until you play someone.  I am excited about seeing this young man and for him and Lowe to get acquainted before both going to the UofA!  Both are being recruited for defense; is that correct?

Field is in good shape. 

Back then (last time we played Bearden) it was a good game trading trading td's.  Our star back broke his collar bone in the 2nd quarter.  We were not deep in any of the positions at all and the game shifted in Bearden's favor big time.  This team is a lot deeper.  It should be a much better game.  Hope you guys have a safe trip.

Bearden is the most consistant team for making a run in the playoffs.They have been in the finals or semi-finals every year for the last 5 years. A very impressive resume by anyone's standards.....
2006 Jessevile 28 Bearden 12           Semi-Finals
2007 Mt Ida 17  Bearden  16             Finals
2008 Des Arc 12 Bearden 7               Semi-Finals
2009 JC 24    Bearden   14                Finals
2010 Danville 20 Bearden 14             Semi-Finals
If you believe in luck,fate or whatever you want to call it Bearden could once again be in the Finals.

I was standing on the sidelines about 20ft from where the EPC star running got "HIT" that was probably the hardest HIT I've seen in high school football ever... Boy he was a good little running until that HIT. D.Lowe was a 9Th grader that year, I remember he a couple of long runs that game boy he is fast......

Both teams have been "running" their mouth!  It's all just posturing isn't it?  No one on here who supports Bearden thinks that the Bears can just walk in your place and get an easy victory.  Everyone knows that both teams are very good this year and which ever team brings their A game will be the obvious favorite.  Even Cuz, a Dragon through and through, will tell you that no team is so dominant this year that they can't be beat! 

Friday will be here soon enough and I promise the Bear supporters will be the first to come on these boards and give it up to EPC if they win the game!  And remember that if that does happen some may not be able to get to a computer until the next day due to the travel distance....But I'ma bet that ain't needed Friday!   ;D :D ;) ;D :o ::) :P ;) :)

I enjoy the fact that most of the people on this topic thinks that Bearden is going to drive to EPC take the field, beat the Warriors from start to finish and that the Warriors have not prepared for a hard fought game! I can promise you that the coach has the boys ready to play! And of all the stats that was posted of Bearden in the semis someone might have just put how often they made the semis not that they lost every year! Not being disrespectful Bearden has a nice resume but the past is the past and can not wait to watch a great game Friday night! Gods luck to both teams!!!

In reference to the general slamming of the Bearden posters and supporters from this conference on this thread....I would like to say that on the Bearden prediction board  98% of BEARDEN fans have this as a game to be decided by a touchdown or less.  I don't see that as being cocky that they are going to "beat the warriors from start to finish" to quote one poster. Also, remember that a football teams game  mentality is a far cry from that of posters on FF.   Personally, I think that when there are only  8 teams  left then  they are all pretty good to have made it this far so to take any team lightly is an  error on their opponents part. Best wishes for an injury free game for ALL teams and safe travel for all fans.

This matchup reminds me a lot of the 06 and 07 playoff matchups between Bearden and Earle.  In my opinion, Earle put more speed and overall talent on the field both years, but Bearden's strength, conditioning, and overall physical brand of football was the difference late in the second half of each game.  This ought to be one fine football to attend.  I wish I could be there.  Go Bears!!!

This matchup reminds me a lot of the 06 and 07 playoff matchups between Bearden and Earle.  In my opinion, Earle put more speed and overall talent on the field both years, but Bearden's strength, conditioning, and overall physical brand of football was the difference late in the second half of each game.  This ought to be one fine football to attend.  I wish I could be there.  Go Bears!!!

This is gonna be a tough game for both EPC has all of these attibutes as well. Bearden fans keep bringing up the past all that is good for is the fearless friday rankings. Past is the past these are 2 different teams from the ones that played each other a few years back.

The closest game EPC had was McCrory, 34-14 EPC. They HAMMERED Salem 49-7, Salem's TD was a fluke with short field. EPC could've scored more as well.

Post by: birddawg1986 on November 24, 2011, 05:04:08 pm
This should be a great game. I think the 3A conference teams still have to prove something before we can belive. We have seen Marked Tree, Cross County, and McCrory teams get this far, but usually this is the end of the line for this conference. Down in McCrory two seasons ago there team was undefeated, and skull dragged everyone just like EPC has done, but when Bearden rolled to down that Friday after Thanksgiving they scored the first 5 times that they had the ball , and a 35-7 halftime lead. I think this will be a great game, but the only concern is Bearden has played in 3 or 4 hard nosed games this season, and had to come from behind in a few to survive, but EPC is usually pulling starters, and letting other kids play at the half or if not by mid 3rd quarter. Speed will be equal, and so will the physical aspect of the game, and should be a dandy. Winner here is going to the ROCK !!! Good luck to both

Your out of your mind. Face it you  laid the ball on the ground to much to win the game that is all there is to it.  We had 15 penalties called on us in the 3rd had first and 30 or 25 3 times and you had your chance to stop us. we had quite a few turnovers and i know 2 of those we were down. Bearden was everything I thought they would be on defense and offense. you guys played a solid game except for the turnovers and have nothing to hang your heads about. I thought bearden would be a little classier than this.

Well hopefully we will have that chance to be at the rock. But you in no way got cheated tonight. Bearden has had turnover problems all playoffs. there were several scrums for the ball and yes the whistle was blown so the refs couls sort things out but I never saw a player called down and then them take the ball and give it to us. cry all you want you got beat fair and square you guy are worse than the WR Hazen forum when they played. Fact is you guys missed 2 tackles and Mookie burned that butt. Be proud of what you kids have accomplished and move on but you have no one to blame but yourselves for the loss.

It's pretty apparent that this Bearden team is not the same since Lowe's injury. I still don't think he was completely healthy. From the stats from last week's game with Mt. Ida, It appeared that Mr. Lowe was not a huge part of the offense even though he played. If I was EPC, I would add that tid bit to your Thanksgiving list. If EPC had of played the Bears that we played mid-season, you would of got it handed to you big time. IMO.  ;)

There wasn't anyone scared of Bearden.  lol.  They got a clear lane to exit as most teams do.  Yes, there was some mouthing.  EPC fans were congratulating the Bearden team on a good game.  Their were fans and players popping off.  It's understandable esp. knowing that you were competitive the whole game.  I can understand their passion and have no ill will towards them.

Bearden was loud and proud throughout the game.  It was a great defensive game where the defense on both sides of the ball made plays to keep their team in the hunt.  Bearden had 3 or 4 unforced fumbles.  You hear that?  Unforced...bad snap, bad handoff and an int to end the game.  Bearden dropped 2 td passes that were uncontested...that's two on two separate drives.  You looking for blame...right there it is.  You killed 5 drives with fumbles...4 were in the red zone, 2 or 3 were on the goal line and ended the game with an Int.

EPC has been doing what has been doing all year on defense. Hitting hard, gang tackling and forcing turnoves.

As for the refs, have no clue who they were .  Never seen them before this game.  EPC started most series in the first half with 1st and 15 or 1st and 20.  We were frustrated with the penalties, as well, but we weren't blaming the refs. 

As for ISU7..who cares.
Title: Re: Bearden @ EPC
Post by: Nemesis on November 26, 2011, 08:33:11 am
The "fumble" you are referring to when the bearden player ran to the end zone.  The play was blown dead.  I was sitting beside your cameraman so if you watch the film you will the same thing.  He was down, refs were blowing the play dead and the ball was kicked.  Even the Bearden player knew because he never ran like it was a live ball...he just jogged with "what could have been" fairy dust going through his head.

Dragonator...this is the playoffs.  Anything can happen on any given night.  Bearden played a good game but were plagued with turnovers.  Congrats on your win over Magazine.  Now you face Strong...and anything can happen.

Tired of talking about refs. Fact is if Bearden hadnt put the ball on the ground and turned it over they probably would have won the game. Everytime they turned it over we gave it right back plus we has twice the penalties. their scoring drive EPC kept it alive with penalties. This game came down to 4 plays. Lowe hits 2 receivers in the hands one in the endzone and one in stride to the endzone both drops on blown coverages. blame that on the refs. blame 2 long touchdown runs on the refs. all its takes is one big play for EPC to score and EPC made the plays they needed to to win the game. IMO Bearden thought they were gonna come up here and beat the snot out of EPC and it didnt happen they have no one to blame but themselves.

It sounds like a heartbreaking loss for my Bears.  Congrats to EPC on your victory.  I've been around football for a long, long time and if you give a team that many gifts there's no way you can expect to win... Forced or unforced, fumbles are a part of the game.  I have had to watch all the games this year via facebook comments or on ff boards while here in Afghanistan.  I love Bearden Bear Football with a passion and would like  the team to know that you guys were the highlight of my week for the last 3 months.  Learn a life lesson from your loss and move on.  Good luck to the remaining teams.  I now, turn my attention to the JC Dragons.  Represent!!!  Life is Good!!!

It's pretty apparent that this Bearden team is not the same since Lowe's injury. I still don't think he was completely healthy. From the stats from last week's game with Mt. Ida, It appeared that Mr. Lowe was not a huge part of the offense even though he played. If I was EPC, I would add that tid bit to your Thanksgiving list. If EPC had of played the Bears that we played mid-season, you would of got it handed to you big time. IMO.  ;)
he played the entire game up to their final to series. and was running and spinnin fine. doesnt mean he wasnt playing hurt.
And sometimes you just have to be lucky

Lowe wasn't hurt any until he fumbled and got 2 unsportsmanlike penalties.  Then he was forced off the field by the ref's and now he is hurt..  He had been warned 5 times for running his mouth and pointing his finger in epc's face on everytime he ran the ball..   

Bearden 206 total yards
EPC 176 total yards

- Lowe 95 yards rushing on 20 carries, 1 td, 5 fumbles lost
- AJ Turner 20 tackles (17 solo) 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery
- Freshmen Aaron Scales 10 tackles, 3 recovered fumbles
- Sturdivant 52 yard td run, 62 yard bubble screen td
- Barnes 19 carries 35 yards, 62 yard td pass to Sturdivant

look bearden fans and players you got beat and are out of the playoffs, if you would have played better and not had shaky hands you would have won. but dont blame the refs. just tired of seeing everytime a team loses if always the refs fault. grow up. and by the way you might need to learn some manners next time. looked as though i was watching a bunch of two year olds crying to there mommas and daddys.

One question is EPC that good to play Bearden that close or if Bearden wouldn't turned the ball over in the red zone twice and had all the fumbles, what would the outcome have been?

First time in my life I have gotten a chance to watch 2A football, and I am thoroughly impressed.  I got to watch Carlisle/Danville last week and EPC/Bearden this week.  Both games were two of the best high school games I have seen in quite a while.

Last nights game didn't disappoint, I am glad I drove the 35 miles or so from West Memphis.  Bearden and EPC both have quality teams and either of them could have won last night.  Turnovers killed Bearden and costly penalties hurt EPC.

I guess what surprised me the most about 2A football is the abundance of team work on both sides.  I really thought 2 or 3 players could win a game in the smaller classifications, boy was I wrong.  I also enjoyed some good defense and hope that I get to see that more often.  I am definitely thinking about going to Carlisle next Friday.

The red zone possesions. Bearden turned it over at the like 4 or 5 unsportmanlike penalty pushed ball out to the 19 EPC loss on first down fumble on next play. Everytime they turned it over we did as well. There were a couple of times we were just starting to move the ball as well and a penalty or a turnover. Twice EPC started with 1st and 25 and converted. So if neither team turned it over this game is the 20's and could have went either way i dont think either team was that much better than the other it was a sloppy played game all around.

If Bearden would not have fumbled 4 times in the 1st half they would have been up at least 21-0. EPC hung in and just kept plugging away. If # 10 catches a easy touching they score and #3 dont fumble they cruise out of Lepanto with a W. The refs didnt cost either team a W or L but 7 or 8 turnovers did cost the Bears. I enjoyed the game being a neutral by standard and this was definitely a hard hitting game. Hats off to hinkEPC because I didnt think they had the toughest to win but I was wrong. What was sad is seeing how traditional football rich Bearden was that the way they acted once the game was over. This was a shock as an observer that coaches from Bearden didnt control there kids.

I agree with bird1986 if Bearden just had made those plays in the first half, it would have been a different game. But Bearden let EPC hang around and it cost them the ball game it had nothing to do with the "Refs" it's all on Bearden how did the Bearden coach's keep letting that happen over and over.... This was like a heavy wight fight Bearden knocked EPC down but in the end they punched them selves out of the fight..... But boy can those Bearden kids lay some HITS... I have not seen anyone stop EPC the way Bearden did for 95% of the game. The EPC QB was completely shoot down... But that being said congrats to EPC for not giving up, can't wait to see their next game should be a nother classic..... ;D

Post by: Classof91 on November 26, 2011, 04:43:59 pm
EPC hung in the entire game and they came away with the win.  Both teams played very hard and emotional.  I have never seen the Bears fumble that many times in one game.  There were 2 or 3 turnovers that the kid was on the ground and the ball came out and the one ref would point the ball for Bearden then they got together and he changed it.  Watch the video its there, But that did not cause the game to go EPC's way.  Bearden shot themselves in both feet, both hands, both elbows, both knees, the eyes, ears, mouth and wherever else you could shoot yourself with the un-forced fumbles in the 1st half. 

The Bears came out like normal and was making tremendous defensive stops, but when we got into the red zone we would mishandle the ball and EPC would come up with it everytime.  This slowly built EPC's spirits up and when they had the first long run it really excited them as it would any team. 

Simply put, EPC did what they had to do to win the game and Bearden did  not.  Congratulations EPC good luck the rest of the playoffs.  If you do get past Carlisle and play JC I can guarantee you they will not play sloppy like the Bears did last night.

Post by: greyhound68 on November 27, 2011, 05:45:02 pm
I was at the game fri. and from an unbiased fan I can clear up a few things. First of all Lowe wasn't himself. He was playin hurt. he had several fumbles inside the 20 and this killed Bearden. And early 3rd Q he left the game with a bad limp. Good refs, bad refs, doesn't matter. When a team turns it over 7 times inside the 20, that's hard to come back from. Now hats off to both defenses, they played lights out. Mookie scores one run when a bearden defender slips down and another with blown coverage, other than that it was lights out D. But as far as Turner having 17 solo tackles, BULL!!! This win was because of the EPC D-line. period. From what I saw Turner had maybe 10 assist and that's it. The tackles he did have was after the linemen had already made the hit and had the ball carrier stopped or slowed down. And Barnes contributed even less than that. On atleast 4 different drives barnes  comes off the field kicking and throwing his helmet like a 5 yr old. Congrats to the EPC d-fense for a well played game. Hope they get ready for next week and represent the 3-2a well next week because Carlisle won't give the game away like bearden did.

Lowe llimped off the field after he had 2 touchdownss ran by him and lost his 5th fumble. He still had 90 yards on the ground. As for AJ say what ya want yes the Dline did great but Aj was all over the field as usual. Who knows the actual stats I'm sure in every game someone gets some undo credit but AJ is the leader of that D and is not unusual forr him to be in on 90 ppercent of the rrunning plays. And Paul Pilgrim was a terror in the ssecong half and only a ssophmore. As for Lowe he wasn't ejected he waalked off under his own power but the refs had to tell him to be quite several times I don't know what was said I was in the stands and he got flagged at least twice for unsportsmanlike

I believe NFHS rules state two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties against the same
individual results in an automatic ejection from the game.

I was responding to BD post about unsportsmanlike if it true that he got 2 unsportsmanlike should he have been ejected. I never saw an ejection signal. So he could have gotten 2 and been ejected with no signal or just got one and was taken out by the coaches I thought he got 2 and just came off the field limping. But there was never a ejection signal by the ref that I saw

There wasn't anyone scared of Bearden.  lol.  They got a clear lane to exit as most teams do.  Yes, there was some mouthing.  EPC fans were congratulating the Bearden team on a good game.  Their were fans and players popping off.  It's understandable esp. knowing that you were competitive the whole game.  I can understand their passion and have no ill will towards them.

Bearden was loud and proud throughout the game.  It was a great defensive game where the defense on both sides of the ball made plays to keep their team in the hunt.  Bearden had 3 or 4 unforced fumbles.  You hear that?  Unforced...bad snap, bad handoff and an int to end the game.  Bearden dropped 2 td passes that were uncontested...that's two on two separate drives.  You looking for blame...right there it is.  You killed 5 drives with fumbles...4 were in the red zone, 2 or 3 were on the goal line and ended the game with an Int.

EPC has been doing what has been doing all year on defense. Hitting hard, gang tackling and forcing turnoves.

As for the refs, have no clue who they were .  Never seen them before this game.  EPC started most series in the first half with 1st and 15 or 1st and 20.  We were frustrated with the penalties, as well, but we weren't blaming the refs. 

As for ISU7..who cares.
