The Game: This was a one-side affair. ECS sewed it up early by building a big lead and kind of forcing Raleigh-Egypt to capitulate while there was still plenty of game left. Blow outs are much more common than close matches. With the TV set lights on you, it’s hard not to feel that mounting pressure every time your opponent buzzes in. To ECS’ credit, they didn’t take their foot off the gas.
