 Getting a second victory in the final game of the regular season may not seem like much, but for the Ephrata High School football team, the win means plenty.
No, the Mounts won't be playing in the district playoffs next week. But next season, who knows?
Ephrata's players and coaches walked off Conestoga Valley's football field Friday night with a feeling that will last the seniors a lifetime and will carry the underclassmen to next season with a shot of confidence.
The Mounts got four touchdowns and 185 yards on 34 carries from George Murray en route to a 34-24 [boxscore] win over the Buckskins, who despite the loss are headed to the District Three Class AAA playoffs for the first time since 2006, when they played in Class AAAA.

Jared Danneker claimed he had nothing left. After battling Ephrata for four quarters, Elizabethtown's running back said he was flat-out of gas.
He can do a lot on fumes.
The senior scored touchdowns on a pair of grinding runs to the goal line in overtime periods, and blocked an extra point that sealed a thrilling home win for the Bears.
E-town (3-3 L-L, 4-5 overall) outlasted the Mounts, 35-34 [boxscore], in three overtimes, after Danneker broke through Ephrata's offensive line and blocked Chris Fassnacht's kick that would have tied it.

 The Ephrata Mounts boys soccer team played host to the Garden Spot Spartans Monday night in a District 3 AAA play-in game.
After battling to a 0-0 tie in the first half, Ephrata's Nate Latshaw scored off of a cross by Alec Weaver eleven minutes into the second half to give the Mounts (11-5-3) the only goal they'd end up needing to eliminate the Spartans (7-6-6).
Within 7 minutes however, Latshaw looped a shot of the Spartan keeper to put the Mounts up 2-0 with 22:04 left in the contest.
Despite outshooting the Mounts 9-7, and holding a 12-4 corner advantage, the Spartans could not slip one past Mount's goalie Brooks Carr.
Carr recorded another clean sheet, registering 9 saves on the night.
The Mounts now advance to play the number 3 seed, Central Dauphin (15-4-0) Thursday night at Central Dauphin Middle School [directions], that contest is slated for 7:00.

 Lancaster Mennonite topped Ephrata, 25-18, 25-14, 25-18 in the opening round of the league playoffs. The Blazers didn't really run away with any game but kept Ephrata at arm's length throughout.
"We just haven't been able to close out a match,'' said Mounts coach Brian Lesher. We've hung around with a lot of teams but we just can't seem to close them out.''

Both Ephrata and Solanco were coming off victories last week when they squared off Friday night at War Memorial Field in Ephrata and both teams had something extra to shoot for.
The Mounts wanted their second win in a row after dropping their first six games of the season, while the Mules are still in contention for a playoff spot.
In the end, Solanco came away with a hard fought win in what is becoming the norm, on a rain soaked field, 20-10 [boxscore].
