Well, there are so many things to which I want to respond, so I won't even bother quoting all of the posts.
First, I didn't get a chance to watch the game, but from what I understand, it was a hard fought game. Both teams played hard and deserved to win the game, but as the old cliche says, its a game of inches and EHS came up short in the end.
Second, I want to congratulate BA on a great game. Unfortunately, they have knocked us out of the playoffs twice in a row, but I won't let my frustrations on that front get in the way of sportsmanship. Good luck to them in the Championship game.
Third, I think it is impossible for the countless injuries for EHS to be discounted. EHS lost both Jefferson and Darkwa for some portion of last night's game. Anyone who knows anything about EHS knows that this is a crushing blow to EHS' team. In addition, they had already lost their 3rd running back who was also a starting DB, their starting TE/DE, their #1 receiver/safety, and their starting QB. I am certain that no team in the state could recover from all of these injuries.
Fourth, Ricky Bowers and the EHS coaching/training staff are neither selfish nor stupid. There is no doubt in my mind that if there had been any risk for further injury to Darkwa, they would not have played him in the 2nd half. They would never gamble on his future and the future of EHS' team.
Finally, I want to apologize for all of the dumb, cocky, and disrespectful posts by EHS fans (or as I suspect, non-EHS people trying to make Ensworth look bad). There is no place for that on this site or anywhere, and I certainly would hope that people like you 3yards wouldn't have to stoop to that level. Act like the honorable, mature person that you claim to be.
Good luck to EHS next season, and I assure you that the Tigers will be back looking for that first football state championship.
