Little early to be calling it a game?

Per Nate Bryan on twitter:

Central, Elizabethtown play through a scoreless first quarter. E'town on its fourth possession, has minus-22 yards on 12 plays.

Etown is a very good team that has improved drastically from the beginning of the season, but they are now facing the team that is probably better than anyone in the state at peaking in the playoffs.

I think Etown will get their punches in, but look for Central to win.

OBC had ball inside Cardinal red zone, but, on 4th down, Cards get a pick in the end zone.. Mayfield's star LB Kincer Arnett gets ejected from game for a helmet to helmet penalty.. Not sure what that means for next week, but, could be huge..

Wow, that has some major implications

And by the way props to Etown as they are a better team than they have been given credit for.

I believe you will see them pick up the W at Caldwell this coming week.

Certainly a disappointing end to the season, but in all likelihood it was time.

But Toothpick and others, don't close the book on Barber yet, as I truly believe he will right the ship. Barber is a very inspirational leader that lives and breathes football and believes in improving these young men both on and off the field.

Coming in late this year he inherited a team with only 4 players with any varsity experience and a team that did not have a weightlifting program from December until June.

And with a line that averaged a whopping 194 pounds our time was set to expire. Being small is one thing, but being small and weak is another. Coach Barber has made it clear that getting bigger and stronger is his priority in the off-season.

Considering our shortfalls this season, I think he did a pretty good job with what he had.
