YoMama and Mandown….The EC/MC game was wild and wet…I thought sure that EC was going to fight its way into the end zone at the end as the ball carrier would not quite….But the score is what counts..See you guys next season…

I-C-U, Well EC might not be as good as you think if the better team did not win that night. If EC was so great they would have beat Marin even with all the mistakes they made and “dropped passes”. One holding call? That happens in every game so hanging your hat on one call is bull. Karma in the state game? Youre reaching pal and you sound bitter because EC lost when they shouldve won. Yes the better TEAM won but the team with the better players didn’t.

bluedog, MC also dropped passes in the state game, one in the end zone. They blew a 21 pt. lead. Ec would have done no better in the state game, doubt if they would have a 21 pt. lead.
Makes no differance on the ec/mc game opportunites. MC won, so they go to state. The score is the only thing that counts.

I disagree, the better team did not win. MC was not better than EC. MC should’t have even been in the NCS champ game, they lose if CN best player doesn’t get hurt.My son (plays for vacaville) called it as we were at the MC vs EC game, that the flag was coming. Karma came back to bite them in the state game.

Bluedog2, El Cerrito had plenty of chances to win the game against Marin even with the dropped passes. Mistakes are apart of football just like EC had drops Marin had a few chances of there own to take control of the game with bad breakdowns on defense that let EC off the hook. I was rooting for EC to take it, as I thought they should’ve, against a team who didn’t have same caliber of athletes. It was a very exciting game to watch but we can all say the better team won that night.

YoMama…If you watched the game between Marin Catholic and El Cerrito you would have seen the Gaucho’s just seconds away from beating the Wildcats..The EC speed was holy hell for MC and it became the same problem for MC in Carson…EC had several passes that were sure catches dropped which would have changed the whole game…MC played their hearts out….it was so close….a real see-saw battle..EC will be hard to beat in the 2013 season…
