Epler Cup VII Summary
The Ruff Riders came out strong and took a commanding lead in the first half by going up by two scores. Unfortunately, for the Riders some untimely turnovers did them in, in the second half as the defending champions, led by Epler VII MVP #7 George Garza, converted on the forced turnovers. George Garza, had the game winning score as he leaped over a Ruff Rider tackler and into the endzone. The Ruff Riders could have tied the game but their extra point attempt was no good. The Bandits then took a knee and as the clock expired their claim as the 4 time SFA Epler Cup Champions became a reality. Congratulations, to the Eddie Flores and the Ruff Riders on a great season and congratulations to the Bandits on their 4-peat!
