JK vs ED thoughts

Huge play was the JK fumble on the goal line when they were already up 7-0. ED takes over and drives 98 yards for the TD, then runs a fake PAT for 2. I thought the ED defense settled down afterwards and played pretty well. JK has a lot of playmakers on offense, ran a variety of formations and was very good on defense.

Both teams played well in spurts and then both made mistakes. JK had numerous false start penalties that kept them behind the sticks while ED had a couple of "hurdling" 15 yard penalties that negated big plays in addition to the roughing the passing penalty on a 3rd and 17 incomplete pass on JKs last possession.

What I saw last night does not change my prediction before the season. The three Duplin schools in the ECC will battle it out for the conference championship. All 3 capable of beating the other and all tough outs in the playoffs.
 
JK seemed to lose focus in the 2Q. May have been some of their better 2 way players needed rest of offensive side of the ball. Pre-snap penalties really hurt them and were all legit. #3 for ED clearly the MVP of the game and I felt best player on the field. JK couldn’t stop him even after they adjusted.

A rematch could go either way.
