Everybody is going to have their own opinions about this one. What was the most exciting game that you have ever seen? Franklin vs Midland Lee (Sun Bowl w/Cedric Benson) Coroando vs Andress(Singelton vs Mickens) Both incredible games to watch.
Hopefully everybody has alot of good stories

Well i'm going by what I've played in. When we played
Mansfield Summit. We were down 28-0 at 1 point. Than came roaring back to save our season.

Franklin v. Andress (about 2001). Jamar Ransom and Chris Marrow were the stars at the time. Best high school game I've seen.

2006 Coronado Vs. Montwood or 2005 Franklin Vs. Mansfield Summit

If memory serves me correctly, didn't last years game between Chapin and Hereford go into a couple of OT's? That game should be considered one of the greatest.

I'm a little biased here but


Franklin vs Midland Lee in 1997 when Franklin beat them for the first time in 7 years. Still the only team to beat them since '90 Andress.

Franklin vs Midland Lee in 1999 at the Sun Bowl. Almost upset the national champs.

Franklin vs Montwood in 2004 (Britton vs Grantham)

and the very best...according to T. Grijalva himself .. Andress vs Franklin 2001

UTEP alumn id have to say that one too.. but it wasn't OT just crazy scoring going back and forth... we were down by 2 scores going into the fourth and managed the comeback and closed it out 53-50 definitley the most exciting game I've seen

Acrossthenation i agree with you on the 97 franklin-lee game. I played in that game and it was crazy. Lee was ranked in the top 10 in the state when we played them. They had beat us 42-0 the year before. We pulled it out through some masterful ball control coaching from coach henry. No team had beaten a Permian basin team since 1990. That was a great team. We lost to Odessa by 2 points in the playoffs at Ratliff in from of 20,000. The next year we played Lee again and Cedric Benson was a sophmore in his first game. He had about 150 yards and they beat us 42-0 again and won state.

That was the first graduating class of Franklin. Coach Henry had those boys to mold since freshmen year. I don't remember where I read it but I recall coach Henry saying that that was the best team Franklin had put out up to that date because of the reason I stated above.

The greatest was Chapin's first regionals game, I played there, we should of won that game if it wasn't for that int. Now I think last years Chapin/Hereford game was the best, it went back and forth like nothing.

Chips that was the 2nd graduating class at franklin. The amazing thing is the week before we played Lee, we lost to Bel Air in the season opener. The team had almost no experience because the year before was the first franklin class and they had a 4 year stater at almost every position. So we loose to bel air, everyone writes us off, and the next week we come out and beat Lee 21-14. Just goes to show what a great coach Henry was. He got us in the right mind to turn our season around after we lost to Bel Air. Parchman was Lee's coach then and he told Henry after the season that we were one of the best 2 teams ever out of El Paso. We dominated everyone in el paso from then on but lost to Irvin because of a dropped punt.

You are right. My math was off. I still stand by the rest of what I wrote.

The greatest high school football I have seen was in 1993 Eastwood at Riverside was probably the first and last time that I have seen a game the was completly sold out here in El Paso they even had extra bleachers on the field! Well it was the last year Riverside was a 5A school and the winner of this game would claim the district 2-5A championship. I remember with less than a minute left in the game a Eastwood player caught the winning touchdown in the endzone corner then it took him about five minutes to get through the crowd around the endzone and back onto the field. Riverside argued the guy from Eastwood never had control of the ball but nobody could really tell cuz of all the fans around the the field. I know what I saw but being an Eastwood alum I aint telling :)

Do tell, do tell

I agree with you about the first class as well. Phyically that team was huge. Every lineman was over 6'4 and weighed over 240. Almost as big as a college team. Even the running back, Robert Horton, was 6'3 and about 225 lbs. When they were seniors they lost to Lee (Lee had Josh Norman as their running back who also went on to play in the NFL as a WR), Irvin (when they had Stansbury), and Lubbock Coronado(who had Landon Johnson who is also playing in the NFL right now). I agree with you that team was the best in the history of the school and they would destroy the recent franklin teams.

The Franklin-Irvin game was also a great game that first year 1996. It was played at El Paso high. Sold out. Irvin had Stansbury, Terry Nichols, Jason Flores. I think the score ended up being 16-14 Irvin. There was so much hype that year Stansbury was the #1 rated QB in the nation. Great game.

that chapin vs hereford game has to be the most exciting ever played by an ep team. there have been other "classics" as well. many of them have been mentioned here. one that hasn't was the eastwood vs ysleta bidistrict played at the sun bowl. the trooper pulled out a victory in the last minute ending the tribe's season. another great game was a rhs vs yhs game at ysleta the year after ysleta defeated the rangers at riverfront. javi quintana left his mark all over a sold out hutchins stadium, where over 10,000 fans were packed in. the rangers took a "victory lap" at hutchins repaying the indians for doing the same a year earlier at riverfront. what a game! bel air vs eastwood have hooked up in some classics as well. there was a 3-0 game at the sun bowl that may go down as the best defensive game played in ep. texas gridiron, what a game!

That's right about Franklin/Lee. The week before Franklin had lost 15-17 to bel air. It was horrible, Franklin had lost their starting runningback due to injury and they were 50 point underdogs. I think the fhs/lee upset is one of the best upsets in El Paso football history.

The irvin/fhs rivalry back then was also a good one, i remmeber they played their games at ephs.

Franklin should probably move their home games and share with El Paso High.

Yes our top 2 running backs were hurt against Bel Air. Then Jacob Quinn stepped up against Lee and ended up with 1500 yards that year. He was the third string before that game and then he never looked back. I agree that may not have been the most exciting game to watch but it is definantely one of the biggest upsets in EP history along with FHS-Mansfield and whoever Del Valle beat that year they went far.

When the 1st string rb went down, and the 2nd string runningback knew he was going to be starting against Midland Lee, he literally quit the team. I forgot his name though, was #25. That's the truth haha.

Haha yes you are right. Walker was his name.

Are you sure Acrossthenation? The guy quit because of that reason? That sucks! Who would do that? haha

chapin vs aledo, overtime, one play from being the first team in El Paso to win 3 playoff games

That is the equivalent of winning Area in 1-5A. No first round inside El Paso game for 5A.

franklin vs summit and chapin vs aledo had to be top 5. Its just that many el pasoans did not get to witness the games.

Bel Air vs Eastwood, I can't remember the exact year it was in the 80's Bel Air ranked 3rd in the state Eastwood was ranked 6th in the state i believe Bel Air won 6-3

T-bird vs Rams 06 awesome game

I BELEIVE THE YEAR WAS 1980 IN THE SUN BOWL. IT WAS SOLD OUT. PEOPLE WERE SITTING IN THE ENDZONES BEFORE THE EXTRA SEATS WERE PUT IN. IT WAS AWESOME. UNFORTUNATELY EASTWOOD DID LOSE WITH A LAST MINUTE BEL AIR FIELD GOAL. I THINK THE SCORE WAS 3-0.

i agree, bel-air and eastwood, but it was 1981. bel-air won 3-0 on a field goal with 11 seconds left in the game. 35,000 fans packed into a sellout sun bowl stadium. what a game.

SOLD OUT? Both sides of the Sun Bowl? Holy Toledo.

so, it seems the bel air vs eastwood game maybe the best high school game ever played in ep. that was amazing 30000 plus in the sun bowl for a high school game. i bet the miners were jealous, they couldn't pack that many fans in.

the actual game took place in november 1980 it was the graduating class of 1981. eastwood's largest class ever (before hanks came into play).

yep it was awesome. you had to be there to believe it. both sides of the bowl filled. standing room only. i was in "jr. high" at the time.

Might EPGridiron have any highlights of this game? If they don't who might have highlights of this game. Weren't there camcorders back in those ancient days? Someone get that video on here darn it.

three great games of 06', montwood and chs(basically district championship game) chs and fhs, and fhs and mhs

Let me take you back to the early 60s. Ysleta and Bel Air (the Highlanders were in just their 2nd season of varsity I believe) were both unbeaten in district (may have been unbeaten on the season but I won't go there totally) coming into the final game of the season. Winner would win district and go to playoffs, loser was done. They played at Kidd Field (before Sun Bowl was open) before a SRO crowd with many turned away. Hundreds outside the stadium lined the rock wall in one end zone to watch while many more were on the mountain watching. Bel Air was up 12-6 (maybe 13-7) with about a minute to go and Ysleta facing a 4th down at about mid-field. Tribe runs a statue of Liberty play that goes the distance, kicks PAT and wins it 13-12 (or maybe 14-13...it was a long time ago **** it).
The year before they had gone into the final in the same situation but Ysleta smoked em in the swamp about 26-6 or so.
I was about 10 or so and will never forget the looks of the Bel Air guys as the Ysleta back ran down the sideline right in front of their bench on his way to the TD.
I watched a ton of h/s football in EP back in the day and that was the best game I ever saw. I had a bro who had just graduated from Ysleta and a sis at BA. We had moved from the lower valley to Eastwood so she had to leave YHS and go to BA. But BA won district her junior or senior year and beat Odessa High in bi-district 10-7. The BA band broke into "the old gray mare just ain't what she used to be" as BA ran out the clock and headed off to get ready for their butt-whuppin' the next week.
Ah, a stroll down memory lane.
I also remember back then of some slobber-knocker games between EPHS and Austin.

Sounds like back then El Paso was like it is at Midland and Odessa. Too bad El Paso starting building schools like crazy.

That was a great story OldEPguy.

bel-air and eastwood 1980, what a game. like the paper said the next day. half the sun bowl looked like they had found a cure for all disease's, and the other half looked like the world had come to and end. i remember it well. i wish i had highlights. does anyone have any on this game.

of course me coming from andress the best that ive seen have been 1. franklin andress game with marrow and ransom 2. the andress montwood game in 2004 and 3. the chapin andress game this past year all which were played for the district title......ive watched andress all my life so those are the best that i have seen

I would have to say the game between Canutillo and Chapin about 4 years ago. A barn-burner at Austin High!!!!

The sun bowl holds 52000 so 35000 isnt a sellout... nice try though

The Sun Bowl didn't always seat 52,000. It was 31,000 from 1963 to 1982. The first game played in the 52,000 seat stadium was in 1982.

2006 Coronado vs. Montwood!!! Go T-Birds!!!

thanks for the history, I didn't know that

You're welcome

I am goint to have to say that the canutillo chapin game about 4 years ago was the best game i ver saw. Both teams were undefeated and it was for the 1-4A championship. After a crazy game it ended with a kick in the final 8 seconds with the huskies on top 35-32. This was after the canutillo quarterback had kicked about a 35 yarder himself (with a torn acl).....greatest game ever.

i remember that one, at the old field. left el paso shortly thereafter, great game between old and new!

I don't think this was the best game but I think in was probably the best last 8 minutes of a game 95-96 season Socorro vs. Coronado at the sack. In a first round playoff, Nick Alvarez leads the bulldogs to win the game from 21 points behind. Awesome time....

Looks like there were many great games in the past. Wow I was not aware of all those. Great posts

I have to say the low scoring affair between Franklin and Montwood in 2004.

i dont really go to that many games... but last year i went to most of coronado's i agree with raz about the montwood coronado game... it was quite a thriller... so was the the chs v fhs in the sunbowl... great game decided in overtime but it was sad to see coronado's undefeated season come to an end... everyone thought that was the year theyd beat franklin... btw i go to cathedral so theres not much football action there... haha

I can believe no one remembers the 1975 Coronado team. Lost to Permian 14-0 in opener but that team ran the table after that and won bi dist, and regional game that set up rematch against Permian in Qtfinals. Sold out Sun Bowl where Coronado tied Permian 14-14 but lost game on penetrations 3-2. If they had won, they would have been in the final four. Permian lost in title game to Port Neches Grove. Taylor was a freak. I think only player to play in annual Oil Bowl which pits OK allstars against TX all stars. Here is recap from 76' Oil Bowl Game.

1976: Quarterback Darrol Ray of Killeen directed first half touchdown drives of 76, 38, 71 and 72 yards as Texas won 37-28. J.C. Watts of Eufaula quarterbacked Oklahoma in the game and threw a 38-yard pass to Kenneth Blair to set up his team’s first TD. Freddie Hurd broke an Oil Bowl record with a 77-yard touchdown run. Ray was the offensive MVP, and Lance Taylor of El Paso Coronado was the defensive MVP.

By the way, Lance Taylor of El Paso Coronado was on the 1977 all Southwest Conference team along with Earl Campbell when he went to play for the Longhorns at UT Austin. If Coronado and Franklin were stil one school, we might have a chance to get an El Paso team to win the state title but it the talent is watered down too much.

Let me educate some of you young bucks out there. The best two football games in the history of el paso-high school football happend back in 1993. yes everyone will have their opinion on this one but the difference between all of the games metion and the two i am about to talk about came from two teams that nobody believed they could win....two teams that had loosing season for a while......the games where Bowie vs. Eastwood at the SAC and Riverside vs. Irvin @ UTEP. Both Eastwood and Irvin where former playoff teams and Bowie and Riverside were struggling teams. Back then there was no such thing as 1-4a teams......5a all the way. Riverside beats Irvin to move on and to mark the beginning of a long stretch of winning season under coach Work. Bowie comes from behind to beats Eastwood on penetrations(27-27 tie no overtime back then) under a packed Soccoro Activity Complex. I am not sure of the attendace but there was a lot of people standing because there were no seats available. I was there!!!!!!!

Has to be the 1975 Coronado-Permian game, as it was the only team from El Paso ever having a legitimate shot at being state champion

OldEpGuy, What great memories. That year was 1961. The summary of Bel Airs season went like this. 8 victories and 2 loses. 6 wins in district. They recorded the most successful first year Varsity season on record (of that time). The team was voted favorite only against the weaker teams, yet they emerged victorious after playing some of the older and so- called stronger eleven. Before entering the Ysleta game, the Highlanders had the opportinity to be the first newly organized team to gain district championship, even after losing, they surpassed the expectations and predictions of all El Pasoans with the exception of the Bel Air partisans. This accomplishment was due to the combine efforts of the coaching staff, the team, the Highland Clan, and the student body and backers. By the way that was the first time Bel Air played Ysleta in varsity competition. That year they beat NMMI 54-0, Jeff 28-0,
Austin 28-6, EL Paso 14-12, Burges 34-6, La Tech 30-18, Irvin 43-8, Bowie 36-12 their losses were with Alamagordo and Ysleta.
Do you remember crusing to the Oasis after the game? or going up to Scenic Drive? I belive a couuple of years later they opened the first Pizza Hut, where every one wouuld hang out after the games.

The first Pizza hut commercial 1965. Any oldies remember this one?

I knew it was sometime in the 60's. That looks like my neighborhood, Ha Ha

#1) 1991 ANDRESS VS. MIDLAND LEE/ ANDRESS STUFFS MIDLAND LEE ON THE GOAL LINE AND WINS 21-21(P)REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

Converse Judson vs Odessa Permian Texas Bowl 1995 is the greatest high school game I have ever seen in my life! The greatest High school football game I have ever seen in El Paso had to have been Franklin Midland Lee!

Andress Franklin 2001
Coronado Permian1975
Coronado Montwood 2006

Bel Air vs Eastwood 1983 IN front of a sold out sunbowl Fernie yzaguirre kicked a 38 yard field goal to beat Eastwood 3-0 wow what a game

Coronado vs Bowie- 1994
Tbirds 71
Bears 6

Coronado vs Burges-1994
Tbirds 70
Burges 10

These were back to back games for the T-Birds..great for us..not for them

2007 Chapin VS. Canutillo

franklin v.s Tbirds 2006

FHS 27
CHS 24
OT

Montwood franklin 2004

Full of div-1 prospects!! Was 1 of the best games ever..... defensive battle

2006 parkland vs riverside both were 8-0

Coronado v.s Franklin- 2007
21 to 20, Coronado finally beats Franklin for the first time since what 2001 or 1998, I don't remember.

Coronado vs. Montwood 2006
2 point loss that came down to a field goal in the closing seconds.
Even though we lost, i still believe it has to be one of the greatest and most exciting games in El Paso ever

agreed, that was crazy

Greatest I witnessed was Austin-Andress, 1978.

Andress was down 22-0, came back to win 30-22. Incredible game, propelled the Eagles to their first bi-district win (Bel Air 16-6).

Many good players, Melvin Cutter, Jerry Bullitt, Bob Pappaceno, James McNair, many others not fair to omit them, but the mind has trouble remembering all of them after 30 years!

Jefferson silver foxes and irvin rockets 1989 irvin favor by 14 point lost by 14

the gratest game ever is bel air and eastwood 1980 best 11 sec of all time and i played in that game

you should have seen the crowed and we were ranked #1 in texas oh yhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

what about this game 04 riverside and del valle..riverside almost lost and with one second turnbull takes it 95 yards for a winning touchdown hella good game

That is an awesome highlight.

any canutillo chapin from the last couple of years they have become a huge rivalry in my eyes

1997 Franklin vs Midland Lee, we won by marching the ball 95 yds to win 21-14

2001 Franklin vs Midland Lee Quinn had 2 rushing TD's 65yd and 45yd Chris Morrow with 3 interceptions

2001 Franklin vs Andress 30-27 was about to go to Triple OT when the extra point was blocked and returned by Morrow.

2003 Franklin Franklin loses to Abilene High Ranked 4th in Texas.
A little bias since I went to Franklin, but they were still great games.

2005-2006 Eastwood Vs. Hanks!


Came Down To A Blocked Field Goal By Dirty D!!

ah believie it or not htis year ysleta had some good goames such as the parkland game. tripple over time i beleive. in the rain. best game ive ever seen.

oh and th irvin game as well
we lost by a blocked field goal. hell of a play.

Early 1990's Bowie vs Eastwood - Bowie wins in OT (penetrations)

1999 Franklin vs Midland Lee - Midland Lee survives (BARELY)

2000 Austin vs Coronado - T-birds cheat us of a winning touchdown (Called back Irvin Campbell's 80 yard td run) and win

2001 Andress vs Franklin - Franklin wins District Championship

Chapin vs. Aledo back in 2005 3rd round of playoffs.

2007 Coronado Franklin :(

2006 Coronado Franklin was a better game

chapin v andress 06

That Andress vs Chapin game in 2006 had 5 Division 1 players, making it one of the greatest games ever.

Chapin players who went D1
#6 Cliff Tucker Maryland University
#77 Dominique Hamilton Missouri University
#2 David Moore Fordham University

Andress players who went D1
#89 Andre Jones UT-Austin
#21 Chris Dowell UTEP

Game went down to the wire. Andress had their chance with 2 seconds left on the clock and blew it.

Chapin ended up getting to the 3rd of the playoffs that year.

i'm thinkin the franklin vs. andress game about 6, or 7 years ago when it was no.1 vs. no.2. the game that went into overtime and was decided by a blocked field goal that was run back for a touchdown

2007 Austin and Chapin game

Montwood vs Mayfield is always a great game.

fordham isn't d-1

Fordham is not a D1 school but I would rather play there than at Utep

True fordham isn't, but they are in the same division as App St.

technically, fordham is division 1-AA. that is not the same as division 2 (which is lower), so I would say that they're division 1, even though it's not the division that everyone thinks of when they say D1.

That's what people don't see mause, that fordham is D-1aa, and it was a D-1aa (which is now referred to as fcs now I believe) that beat a known D-1 Michigan. App St was the first to win the D-1aa champ three years in a row.

Man-- what a great discussion. I haven't lived in EP since I graduated from Andress in 89, so I love hearing about all these great stories.

My faves:
Midland Lee/Andress X2 in 1991(?)... I only heard scores from these games, so someone *please* tell me about the stuff at the goal line. Beat Lee 10-3 in non-district, IIRC.

Lubbock Coronado/Permian, 1995 or 1996. Darrell Jackson was their WR (Tech) and I think Landon Johnson was there too. Anytime Permian loses, it's a special day, but I was at that game and saw PHS lose at home. That was the Lub. Coronado team that beat Franklin the next week when FHS had a FG try blocked with under :20 to go in the game and lost 17-15.

Chapin vs. Hereford at Ratliff Stadium. A back and forth game with about 100 points scored!! The stadium was ELECTRIC and there were incredible plays. The fans on both sides were loud and challenged each other!! Lead changes and big hits!!Unreal!!! INCREDIBLE!!!

I totally agree. That game was off the hook. It will be with me forever.

Hereford gives good games.

Another is Canutillo vs Hereford 2007 (The Snow Bowl)
Also: Both Canutillo vs Chapin 2007 were great games

this year socorro vs el dorado .i thought it was the best game iv seen all year. it has to be one of the greats of al time

now i graduated just last yr from riverside ya and i heard stories about this game so i believe it and you should too but ya just like franklin beating midland lee in the late 90s, it had to be in 1960 when ysleta beat odessa permian.... now that being the only team to beat who would become the state champs (permian) later on in the 60s era now with that i can give my respect to the yhs 60s team

2008 Franklin 63 vs Eastwood 0 :-)

That game is not even close to being the greatest or one of the greatest. A great football game would be one that ends up leaving you without nails.

i know. i was being sarcastic. it was one helluva game for the cougars though :-)

best game Chapin Vs. Riverside
coming from a 26-20 score
chapin won in overtime 32 - 26
scoring in the last 10 seconds in the 4th quarter to go into overtime

they actually came from behind 26-18 making the 2 pt conversion to send it into OT

September 26, 1980, Canutillo vs. Riverside. Canutillo was 3-A and Riverside was 5-A, Eagle stadium, rain, mud and a lot of fans! Canutillo upset Riverside 14-7. Canutillo went on to win district and Bi-district defeating Denver City 30-0 and finally falling to Stamford in regionals.

Milkman, we might be thinking of the same Bel Air Eastwood game played in the 80's in the Sun Bowl. Bel Air won 3-0. Awesome game in a time when good teams had their regular season games at the Sun Bowl and local T.V. showed live feeds during commercial breaks.

Na, na, na, na. The best football game I've seen is the Montwood vs. El Dorado game (2008). Montwood trailing El Dorado 14-7 at the half then has an incredible momemtum change as Montwood comes back to win 21-16

imma have to say freshman year, 04, riverside del valle, 28-28, 1 second left on the clock dv had just scored, dv kicks the ball to jeff turnbull, and he runs it back for the win

Some of these games you guys are mentioning are so weak. I cannot believe that some of you would list these games as the best high school football games of all time.

Chips I think most people here are taking the topic as

The greatest high school football game they have seen personally or have played in.

I think you are right.

hey montwood fan man, that game your talking about isn't even in the same league as the 1980 bel-air/eastwood game. 38,000 plus fans packed the sun bowl and the mountains. it was the most unbeliveable site your eyes would have seen. if you think the 2006 montwood/coronado game was a site to remember, that was nothing. not even close. those were the days when fans were fans, spectators were spectators and die hards were die hards. wow, what a sight to remember. i got to that game about 2 hours before kick off, to make sure i sat right at the fifty yard line. what a game.

Austin vs Canutillo 2008

that game was crazy

nope not even close. games nowadays, don't seem to have the intensity from the 70's and 80's games. we are talking about crowds that you youngsters from today could not even imagine. my pick is still the bel-air/eastwood game from 1980. a close second is coronado/irvin in the snow, 1976.

the greates game i have ever seen was Riverside vs Del valle with one second left the game going into overtime with the distric campionship on the line come on and on the kick off to tie up the game and riverside returns it all the way back that game is immotal in el paso history

This years Montwood vs Franklin 17-0!

chapin and austin 08'
austin and canutillo 08'
coronado and franklin 08'
parkland and canutillo 08'
good games a believe but i think
austin vs. chapin for all time...

In 1996 I went to a Socorro game against Irvin. The 4th quarter was full of incredible turnovers, which turned out to be an amazing football game.

2006 riverside rangers at the reservation..... rangers down 7-3 with like a minute left in the game and the unstoppable johnny sanchez scores to take the lead and give the rangers a 10-7 victory over the indians.... 2008 same place same situation with only 10 seconds left down 14-13 after missing the first field goal the rangers regain possesion and attempt another shot at a field goal... fans on the field for the indians to distract the kicker yet he makes his second attempt to give the rangers the lead and the win and giving the rangers a 13-0 record against the indians after 13 yrs since there last lost to ysleta....

2000 Austin v Coronado Austin lost 26-27. AHS was up by 21 points in the 4th quarter Birds came back to win it with Tiger Lyon at QB. Tbirds thought they had the night off but Irvin Campbell ran wild including a touchdown called back in the final seconds of the game.

Look here are the greatest games from districts and stuff.....
Socorro District:

Franklin VS Coronado

Montwood VS Midlin Lee (not in ep districts)



Ysleta District:

Del Valle VS Ysleta

Canutillo(not in yisd district) VS Del Valle

Riverside VS Ysleta

Mountain View vs Ysleta LOL LOL Ha ha ha ha ha ha.........

MOUNTAIN VIEW vs SAN ELI
