[rink62221]

East Side driving into IMG territory on its first possession.

 

[rink62221]

LBIII with a 13-yd. TD catch, but a hold will bring it back. ... Pick six for IMG, 100-yard plus return.
7-0 IMG.

 

[caravan8]

Pick 6 IMG. QB was under pressure right away.

 

[caravan8]

I like how ESL was diving though. Running the ball well and I loved the screen call, took advantage of their aggressive defensive linemen

 

[MS4EVER]

Dang it!!!!

 

[Bowie50]

Let’s go Flyers!

 

[rink62221]

Here comes the IMG offense for the first time, after a three-and-out.

 

[rink62221]

KaTron Allen with a TD run. Penn State bound RB was a monster on the drive. OL is pretty good too. 14-0 IMG with 33 seconds left in 1st quarter.

 

[rink62221]

End 1st qtr. 14-0 IMG

 

[rink62221]

Parchman (sp?) with a nice catch to put ESL in IMG territory.

 

[rink62221]

LBIII returns a fake punt 60-plus yards for a Touchdown. ... 14-8 IMG.

 

[caravan8]

Burden with a nice TD run on a fake punt.

 

[rink62221]

IMG fumbles kick return. ESL recovers. Ball near the IMG 40.

 

[rink62221]

ESL can't score on a first and goal. Four straight running plays into teeth of defense. IMG will take over at its own 3. IMG broadcast crew has no clue that the Flyers have not attempted a field goal or extra point in quite some time.

 

[rink62221]

IMG goes 99 yards for a TD just before halftime. About a 13-yard pass play with 16 seconds left. (Receiver is an Illinois commit). Key play -- 32-yard catch on 3 and 12 from ESL one. Pass Int. in EZ on ESL moves ball inside the 15. Couple of nice runs by Allen, another one by a sophomore named Gage. 21-8 IMG

Why try he same play??????

 

[rink62221]

21-8 halftime IMG. (East Side twice got inside the IMG 10 and came away with nothing). Fisticuffs break out after final play. Broadcasters blame it on Burden. I did not see it, was posting halftime score so i cannot comment.

 

[caravan8]

IMG on defense is the very definition of very talented, and extremely undisciplined. Unsportsmanlike penalties like you wouldn’t believe.

 

[flyerforlife]

at some point pull the starters not worth the season Img is playing dirty . No need to risk injury . Which is why they are not allowed to play in California anymore

 

[rink62221]

Burden and one other Flyer has been kicked out of the game, as well as a top player for IMG. ... IMG gets ball to start second half.

 

[flyerforlife]

Might not play next game. We will see

 

[rink62221]

Long pass and a 24-plus YD TD run for KaTron Allen. Ex-P missed 27-8 IMG.

 

[rink62221]

ESL goes 3 and out. Short punt, IMG takes over on ESL side of 50.

 

[rink62221]

Two running plays, KaTron Allen goes 33 and 15 yds. for a TD. 34-8 IMG

 

[playboymixx]

GHEEZUZ. That Kaytron Allen kid is a monster! He just runs over everyone.

 

[rink62221]

He is a running back as to what Burden is as a receiver. With all that talent on the field, he is a man among boys.

 

[rink62221]

I think I'd pull Battle. With no Burden there is not going to be any comeback tonight like the Bosco game. Battle's going to get killed and the playoffs start next week.

Not sure why East Side plays in these games. Playing a college basically the week before the playoffs start. Nothing to gain but a ton to lose. You get hurt in games like this when you play against teams who are bigger, stronger and faster than you. I see no upside in this. Even if by some miracle you actually win. What does that do for you if it costs you by getting beat up and have guys who get hurt and miss playoff games?

East Side used to play colleges and beat them

In the 80's? IMG is a different beast. They have legit D1 talent everywhere. They win this game by as many as they want. Not exactly how I'd want to roll into the playoffs after getting beaten up by a team as good as IMG. Just hope that they don't have too many guys get too banged up.

 

[rink62221]

ESL stops IMG on fourth and goal from the 3.

 

[rink62221]

ESL forced to punt. IMG takes over at Flyers' 45.

 

[rink62221]

End 3rd Qtr. 34-8 IMG

 

[rink62221]

IMG punts for first time. ESL takes over around own 20.

 

[rink62221]

ESL turns it over on downs. Battle takes another hard sack.

 

[rink62221]

IMG scores on a 20-plus yard reverse. Leads 41-8 with 6:09 to go

 

[rink62221]

East Side turns it over on downs near midfield. 3 minutes to go

 

[rink62221]

Sophomore running back Stacy Gage showing why he's the best in his class in the nation with a long run followed by a TD run. Gage and Allen would like good on any college/ let alone high school team. 49-8 with 1:28 to go. Running clock.

 

[rink62221]

Game is over 49-8 IMG.

 

[rink62221]

Now I don't know much. But from watching both games, IMG would beat Bosco. Their O-Line and D-Lines are dominating, and their running backs are something to behold.
