I felt bad watching East Palestine/Mathews scrimmage Friday night. What has happened to the EP football program? I know "Bulldog 1974" would know. They made Mathews look like a State Contender. Nothing against Mathews, which has a decent squad; but, EP kids look like a Junior High team lining up with Mathews. Unfortunately, they did not get a first down in the 2 quarters they played. And they open up against Malvern... OUCH! I see them having a difficult time finding a victory this upcoming season. Hopefully Coach Dempster will be able to find a solution to make them competitive. the Final Score of this game was:
Mathews 35
East Palestine 0
