The win moved EPC to 3-0 on the season while Galena dropped to 1-2. The Wildcatz running game was on track and led by Aaron Reed, Joe Harrington and Mack Byers. Reed carried the ball twenty three times for one hundred eighty yards and a touchdown, Harrington carried eight times for sixty nine yards and two scores and Byers had nine rushes for seventy two yards and a touchdown. EPC jumped out to the 14-0 first quarter lead and held the Pirates scoreless in the opening half. Galena was finally able to break into the scoring column in the third quarter but it was too little too late as the Catz ground game was too much for them to overcome. Trevor Harris led the ground attack for Galena, carrying the football nineteen times for ninety four yards. Both Galena scores came on passing plays in the second half. EPC also won the frosh/soph contest 44-0.
