Earle-EPC Game Thread

[MarionBlueDevil]

I don't think it matters that EPC lost the other night. The Warriors are still good and this will be a crucial contest for Earle's league title hopes.

Bulldogs are flat rolling right now, but finish with their two fellow league contenders in weeks 8 and 10.

Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?

Earle scull drags EPC all over the field!

[playmaker04]

Epc responds with a 30-22 win after the Cross County drubbing.

Earle scull drags EPC all over the field!

At least we won't be complaining about our playoff draw

[Dogg]

The fans on the board (EPC) said Earle has not played anybody!
The Bulldogs just want to keep it close. EPC doesn't loose at home.
Scales is a clone of the Qb from Oregon.

[dragondad]

Predictors have it as Earle by a slim margin, 4 pts on avg.

I'm going to call it EPC by 6 in OT.

[nightowl]

I am going with Earle in this one. I seen something early this year in one of Earle players  the willing to play any position when every the coach say play it.  Player # is 5

Who form EPC said Earle has not played anybody? No one. Only said when you did you got beat. And don't think Ive ever said we would blow CC or Earle out or at least I don't think I have.

Markus Lane. Great kid. Awesome player. Would run through a wall if coach told him too.

I expect Lane will have some say in the outcome of the game on Friday night, BTW.

Hat on hat, Earle will "out athlete" EPC.  Considering Earle is always fired up for EPC, it's gonna come down to discipline and coaching.

[birddawg1986]

I agree with Reflexn in the previous post. Man is Earle Athletic !!!! All you can say is WOW !!!!, but not so fast my friend this might of been a wake up call for EPC. Getting beat for the 1st time, at home + homecoming. Could be a bunch of hacked off warriors this Friday night. Home field might help some, but I think Earle pulls this one out 34-20

[playmaker04]

I've seen a lot of "athletic" teams that are not disciplined or well coached. You gotta be more than athletic to beat good teams. Epc and CC are well disciplined, well coached teams. Haven't seen Earle so cant make an assessment. But being purely athletic won't beat EPC.

[hssportfan]

EPC better shake of that drubbing from CC or this game might get a whole lot uglier.

[Butch_Cassidy]

I think that Earle has plenty of good coaching and good athletes after all they did make it to the 3 aaa Semi's last year and lost to the eventual 3aaa champs Charleston. ... Beating Fountain Lake in Fountain Lake... Mercy Ruling Fordyce in Fordyce.... and beating an UNDEFEATED HOXIE TEAM IN HOXIE. ... So coaching... ummm I think they got Plenty of that.... Now what is it that they need again?

I watched the epc- cross county game and epc looked below average.  I wouldnt be surprised if earle mercy ruled epc. Earle by 35+

Below average. Silly statement. Every team has bad nights. Earle aint winning by 35

[bulldog2006]

Epc are not as good as you think. Mediocre at best......lol

if Epc loses twice in a row at home it will surprise me.

[bulldog2006]

Im so done talking about epc........not even a threat. Im more concern about week ten vs cross county. Epc will be just another cupcake game to us.

[MarionBlueDevil]

Man, I'm excited about this one. Gonna be some great football on Friday night in Lepanto.

Bdub when's the last time you heard EPC called a cupcake? Ever?

Im not to worried about it. Let them over look us. Truthfully Im just ready for senior night. Its my sons senior year and we get to walk the field with him. Will be a super emotional night for me and my family. Some things are way more important than a football game.

[playmaker04]

I know what you mean.My son graduated in 2011. The last time CC made the playoffs until this year. I still miss him playing. But I got a stepson that plays 7th grade so I got a few more years.

Where did you see this game? I was told that Earle didn't film there games or wouldn't exchange game film.

[playmaker04]

Probably Tubetown.

Should be a good game...

The fans may be looking over EPC but the teams not!
Congrats to your son. What number is K. Jenkins

Like I said before Earle played a tough non conf schedule.. You  will see what I mean friday night.....lol

EPC 26
earle 22

i need some tars!!

Earle 34
EPC 20

[Pit Bull]

I think that Earle has plenty of good coaching and good athletes after all they did make it to the 3 aaa Semi's last year and lost to the eventual 3aaa champs Charleston. ... Beating Fountain Lake in Fountain Lake... Mercy Ruling Fordyce in Fordyce.... and beating an UNDEFEATED HOXIE TEAM IN HOXIE. ... So coaching... ummm I think they got Plenty of that.... Now what is it that they need again?

Coaches, discipline and athletism are at level of expectation in Earle. They might as well kill that old mentality that your going to face a Bulldog team that is not game ready... Coach Coleman and his staff understand what it takes to prepare.

They must of have changed something from the time they played JC last time, cause they were no way prepared for the Dragons. EPC has been the most competitive team from the conference for a long time. They are well coached and have some very athletic players. I think the loss they just suffered could serve as a wake-up call. This should be a very good game..........
