They chanted THE KING IS DEAD THE KING IS DEAD. Several of their players attacked some of our players and it got ugly. Their Coaches were also involved and had encouraged the bowing and chanting we were told. We then had the rematch in the bowl the next year and there was a dusting of snow and they cancelled game saying it was too dangerous to travel.

I might be mistaken on the year, Coach Harvey would make us watch the brawl on film before our ECW. It was 1976, Artesia had a winning streak going , a pretty long one. Carlsbad beat us at the Bowl, then the cavemen got on there knees along our sideline and started bowing down with helmets off. People in the stands from both sides to fight ans/or break it up. Not sire if I’m exact on year and probably left sone facts out I was there, remember is like it was yesterday.......So just a couple of corrections if you don't mind, respectfully.......it was the 1975 football season, my senior year; I graduated in 1976. The game was played in Carlsbad. Everything else that Noondog posted is correct. Carlsbad snapped our 22 game win streak. After the game was over Carlsbad players came to the Artesia sideline and got down on their knees and started bowing down to the Bulldog players, as if to mock them. A Carlsbad player got kicked in the face by a Bulldog. After that it was pure chaos. All hell broke loose. Bulldog fans and Carlsbad fans shared the visitor's side at Ralph Bowyer Stadium making it easier for them to get to each other....that was a disastrous layout for that night. There were numerous fights going on all over the field as well between players. There wasn't a player from either team that wasn't involved. It continued out into the parking lot as fans were making their way to their cars. The event was SO memorable that somebody made a cap commemorating the event. Says "Eddy County War 1975" on the cap. I got mine at Rugged Trade a few years ago......... View AttachmentView AttachmentThank you crispysdad for sharing this, I was fighting.... |

Nothing to do with Friday nights game but I don’t mind if you guys don’t mind. Had my good friend send over some articles he had from Carlsbad Paper about the fight. Front page of Carlsbad paper was players kicking an Artesia player  |

What in the world was that crap play calling at the end? We got lucky there great question. Not sure why they didn't try to score since they were at the 5 yard line. At least run the ball? Cleveland's passing game wasn't going to be much of a threat with like 1:50 left when they completed that last pass. |

Think Coach Maupin gets a -1 on the grade sheet for the last 1:30 ha. But I have to say that was the best win I've seen and possibly the best win by Artesia (non state). Don't know when Artesia has ever beaten the number 1 6A team. Offense play calling was great and D did great against Cleveland. After that big win don't want to overlook the Coyotes, they look solid.
