B2 October 18, 2018 The Chronicle Loss from page Bl in the second half. “We are maturing as a team right before our eyes,” said Antonio Stevenson, QEA head coach. “For our young guys to come out here and not quit is a win in itself. My guys have really earned my respect for not quitting.” “When I tell you that we have come a long way in five months, I mean from North Carolina to Texas, long way,” he con tinued. “All I can say is wait for next season. We are going to be alright.” Concord led 14-6 head ing into the second quarter and was running the ball with relative ease. Both teams were hit by the turnover bug, as the teams combined for three total turnovers in the quarter. The Pharaohs started of the second half on a sour note. They turned the ball over once again, leading to another Eagles score. Down two scores, QEA answers with a score of their own. Not to be out- done, the Eagles score a touchdown on their next possession when quarter- back Tre Boyd connected with Ray Rice, making the score 28-14 after the con version. Once the Eagles achieved a two-score lead, their running back Fred Peace started going to work. Peace had a 65-yard touchdown called back because of a penalty, but routinely gashed the QEA defense for big gains all night long. “I saw some good holes tonight and I just tried to make a play,” said Peace. “I tried to lower my shoul der most times, but if I could have run past them I would. “If I am trying to make them scared of me. I will try to run anyone over, but after that I try to get to the end zone,” he said about his running style. “We need to win outright so we can get the Number One seed, and I think we have good momentum right now and I think we can do it.” The Pharaoh's were down by three scores in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Nirome Lucas continued to scramble out of the pocket to find open receivers to put some points on the board. Unfortunately for QEA, the Eagles defense was up to the task. They gave up some yards to the Pharaohs but held them out of the end zone in the second half. “We really didn't know what to expect because we did not have any film on them,” said Brad Lamb, CFAA head coach. “We came out here with the anticipation of having a good old fashioned football game and try to execute our X's and O's while play ing hard.” “Our last two games we have started to come together as a team and gel,” he continued. “The first five weeks of the season, we were still trying to find our identity.” Lamb says the Pharaohs were giving them trouble in the first half with the style of blitzing they were using. He says they A QEA wide receiver sets up for play dur ing the Homecoming game on Friday.

He feels this season is giving his players valuable experi ence for next year and is proud of the efforts his team has shown. “Keep us in prayer and watch us roll, we are going to get it right and we are not going to give up,” said Stevenson.

Ramsey from page Bl Bucks a nice core of athletic talent sur rounding Antetokounmpo. The Raptors were the top seed in the Eastern Conference last year. They traded DeMar DeRozan this offseason for Kawhi Leonard. They were never able to get past the LeBron led Cavaliers with the core group of players they had. Switching DeRozan for Leonard is a definite upgrade since Leonard is arguably the best two way player in the league, when healthy. The Raptors have a nice bench, so the East better be on the lookout. Now that James has left the confer ence, the Eastern Conference should be very interesting, especially come playoff time. I for one am glad to have more intrigue, instead of just waiting for the inevitable.
