Zero to fifty in 4.5

What a difference no turnovers make. Our two previous games the Tigers stacked up 12, yes countem 12 turnovers. Seven against Albany and 5 against Quanah. Two of the turnovers against Quanah inside our own 5 and it still took 4 and 3 downs respectively to move the ball less than 5 yards into the endzone.
This game against Knox City we had no turnovers. A new quarterback, a new look and a whole new attitude. I felt a little sorry for them Greyhounds about the 3rd quarter, they were gettin pounded. The tigers had a fire under'em the whole game.
Can't brag enough about our O line. Jones moved back to the line this week and that really helped open them holes. Lozano's, Haechten, Jones, and Villanueva good job. A new formation helped get Ramos and Hamlett more involved in the blocking as well.
Robinson made the move to quarterback and he looked like he had been playing the position since he was seven. Justin Lewis started at running back and had a great game. This was a real positive game for the Tigers against a very fast and very well coached greyhound team. When them Tigers come to play get ready.
Not taking away from our defense at all. Ramos, Garcia, Jones, Lewis, Robinson, and Moreno had an exceptional game. The Tigers had several big hits and a few takeaways. This is a very stingy defense and if you score after the first quarter, and it is not on a turnover, you earned it.
The tigers are off this week. They load for a state ranked Haskell Indians next week. This week off should give us time to get a few small injuries and aches put away for Haskell. Get ready for a real show down when the Indians come to town.
I would like to commend the players and especially the coaches on a well played and called game. GOOD JOB!
GET READY FOR A SHOW DOWN
