Epler Cup XI Summary

The first ever TSFA night game was a classic, both teams made the league proud with the level of commitment, determination and sportsmanship with which both teams exhibited before, during and after this memorable championship game. Coach Fred Garcia and his Outlaw football team, along with a few hundred fans, attacked first. The Outlaw defense created turnovers and scored the first points of the game. Shawn Battles and his Renegade football team, along with a few hundred of their fans struck back and tied the score 6 all. The scoring exchange continued as both teams managed to each get 6 points on the board, for their respective teams, with only 45 seconds on the clock and halftime on the brink. The Renegades scored the final 6 points of the half with no time on the clock. Halftime arrived with both teams tied.

The second half saw a continuation of the first half with hard aggressive hits and big play after big play on both sides of the ball. #9 Henry Booth, a.k.a. Silk, made smart decisions while tucking the ball and running when nothing was open downfield. He played with a high level of energy and leadership that was unmatched. #66 Leo Reyes also had some timely catches as #15 Manuel Garcia found him on two consecutive plays open and earning positive yards as they drove towards their end zone with both teams continuing to match the other score after score.

The 4th quarter arrived and the match continued with big offensive and defensive plays. With seconds on the clock and a tie score, Outlawz QB Manuel Garcia connected with #21 Zachary Young on a deep pass that placed the Outlawz inside the 5 yard line. The Outlawz found themselves rushing downfield with the clock running, as they were out of timeouts, and a dramatic miscue resulted in overtime.

The Renegade defense was determined not to let the Outlawz score, led by South Defensive Player of the Year Oscar Valdez and South Defensive Player of the Year Runner-up Eric Trinidad the Renegade defense caused a turnover by Outlaw running back. Eric Trinidad, a.k.a. Turtle, forced the turnover.

The Renegades took possession as #32 Eric Martinez was not denied the end zone. The Renegades scored and secure the victory and earn The Epler Cup XI Championship. The final score was 38–32 in overtime.
