per Reusse:

Mike McKay was Epping’s offensive coach at Tremper. He’s now the coach at Indian Trail, a newer high school in Kenosha.

“Zac was a quiet, respectful young man off the field … a nasty kid when the ball was snapped,” McKay said. “By that, I mean that he always played to the whistle.”

Clearly, there’s no greater compliment a coach can offer an offensive lineman than “playing to the whistle.” As far as playing past the whistle, how many big march-offs this season, Zac?

“None,” he said.

Not an unsportsmanlike, or even a hold?

“No,” Epping said. “I had one penalty … a false start. It was a bad call.”

Go Gophers!!
 

This column calls to mind how chippy the game was and how poor a job the officials did regulating it.
