The football Panther offense looked as though it would pick up right where it left off from last Saturday’s rout of Bureau Valley in their game with Morrison on Friday night in Prophetstown. EP took the opening kick off an promptly drove down the field using a nifty combination of runs and passes to take a quick 6-0 lead over the Mustangs. Unfortunately, for EP that would be their only score of the game as the Mustangs turned the tide and closed out the Panther’s season with a 38-6 loss.
EP was able to move the ball in the first half but could not get the ball into the end zone after being turned away on two 4th down attempts in the red zone. Meanwhile, the Mustang offense got untracked and took a 14-6 lead with a score just seconds left in the first half.
Morrison took control in the second half as they focused on their run game and steadily moved the ball down the field racking up three scores while shutting down the Panther offense.
EP finished their Covid shortened season with a 1-3 mark.
