"GEEEEETT SOOOOOOMME!!!"

The Warbird Defense certainly “got some” since they shut out the Weatherford Kangaroos. Many of us knew that one of the keys to winning this ballgame was to eliminate Willie Fielder. The Eagles definitely did that by holding him to just 65 yards on 15 attempts. This was by far the best game defensively that we have had all year. We are just one more step closer to playing an entire game.
That first half for the defense was excellent, but not so much for the offense. Not very much was happening inside the red zone until the end of the 2nd quarter. After we scored that first touchdown, things looked up from then on out. What a great second half. I was very happy with the way that we played. I was hoping that the second and third stringers would get to see some action by the end of the 3rd quarter, but getting to see them come out in the middle of the 4th still made me happy. They did an excellent job. I was also very happy to see some of the J.V. guys get in there for a couple of plays.
I was very happy with the crowd that we had out there. Everybody showed great enthusiasm throughout the game even though we had to stare into the sun for most of it. I hope we have that much cheering going on next week against Amarillo Tascosa. The Rebels beat EP Coronado 33-23 last week in the Sun Bowl. That was the first win in the postseason for Tascosa since 1967. From the looks of the stats for that game, Tascosa is a run heavy team. They put up 278 yards of rushing vs. the 16 yards through the air. It will be a great game next week at Jones Stadium in Lubbock
