Mounts Secure George Male Trophy

: 02 September 2023; Written by Bruce Morgan — LNP

When Kris Miller took over as Ephrata’s football coach in 2016, one of his goals for the program was to close the gap against Warwick in the battle for the George Male Trophy.

Over time, the Mounts have done exactly that. And when they pulled off an emotional 29-21 win last season, Ephrata snapped a 15-game losing streak to its backyard rival.

On Friday night, the Mounts made it two in a row, snapping a scoreless tie in the fourth quarter and bringing the Male Trophy back to Ephrata with a 14-0 nonleague shutout of Warwick at Joseph Grosh Field in Lititz.

Mounts Win Opener

The atmosphere was festive, with stands packed on both sides and people lining the fences. It was a game that the Ephrata Mounts wanted not only for themselves but also for their community. Just once since 2003 have the Mountaineers won a season opener.

And this one the team really wanted, especially one player. Last year, Quintin Pfautz had a 72-yard score — one that would have beaten Red Lion — negated.

Pfautz got his revenge with an early 20-yard score, but this nonleague football game, ultimately a 34-32 Ephrata win, went down to the wire. It also came down to a play on defense, as Nick Keller made a nice move, turned and intercepted Lions QB Christopher Price with just over two minutes remaining.

If the game had the feel of a state playoff, it’s because, for all intents and purposes, it was.

With a berth in the Class 5A state softball championships at stake Thursday afternoon, Ephrata and Solanco met for the fourth time this season, this time in Quarryville for the District Three Class 5A quarterfinals.

On a perfect day for softball, under sun-splashed skies, the Golden Mules (22-2) punched their ticket with a 4-1 win.
