EPC upends Salem; secures top seed from 3AA November 3, 2005 By David Grim NEARsports.com LEPANTO - The East Poinsett County Warriors held on to their #1 seed in the playoffs, and knocked the Salem Greyhounds out of post season contention in the process. The Warriors won the 3AA game 39-0 Thursday night at Steve Tyler Field. Ked Madden scored three touchdowns, two on a pair of 52-yard punt returns and pulled down three interceptions. EPC (7-2, 6-1) scored all of its points in the first half. "They haven't been kicking to me this year," said Madden. "They usually kick it away from me. I'm just trying to be like my boy, (Marcus) Monk." Madden got his first touchdown with 8:55 left in the opening quarter on a 20-yard catch from Brett Hardin. Lando Bass kicked the extra point to make the score 7-0. Hardin's arm put the following points on the board for EPC, this time on a 37-yard pass to Keun Joplin. Bass kicked the score to 14-0. Hardin found Joplin again on the next touchdown and made the score 20-0 on a 4-yard pass with 1:59 left in the first quarter. Madden got his first of two 52-yard punt return touchdowns as time expired in the first quarter. The scoreboard read 26-0 as the second quarter began. EPC scored on its first play of the second quarter with Madden's second 52-yard punt return. Bass' extra point made it 33-0. The Warriors got their last touchdown with 7:16 remaining in the half. Chris Davis scored on an 11-yard run to set the final score. "We executed well," said EPC Coach Mark Courtney. "That's probably about as good as we have executed all year. It all came together for us and this was the right time for it to come together."
