Goal shots were taken 20 and 30 yards out and handled easily by the EM goalie. Defense from fullbacks and halfbacks was practically non-existent as Eastern Mennonite extended the lead to 6-0 at the half.
The second half was even worse. EM opened play with three blasts at Rappahannock’s goal in the first minute. All three were wide. The fourth went off the tips of Baines’ fingers into the net. It seemed like there were more yellow jerseys than blue on the field. Everywhere a Panther passed, there was a yellow jersey waiting for an interception. The goose egg on Rappahannock’s side of the scoreboard didn’t change; the tally on Eastern Mennonite’s side kept climbing until the referee’s whistle ended the barrage at seven.
Except for a few justifiable complaints about less than impartial calls for violations, the RCHS boys offered no excuses. “They made me feel like a little kid in kindergarten," said Will Oliver. “They were really good.”
“Eastern Mennonite is the best team you’ll play all year,” coach Davis told his boys.
Dejected and embarrassed at the end of the game, the RCHS players unanimously agreed that they had not done well. But by the time the bus stopped for dinner in Luray a half hour later, the talk was all of what they had to change in the rematch with Eastern Mennonite in order to change Thursday’s dismal 13-0 outcome to a tally that includes goals for Rappahannock.
