One Game At A Time!!

It is now WIN or go home. And with the way the top half of the Region 1 bracket is set up, there is NO excuse for the Abilene High Eagles not to make it to the Quarter Finals and beyond. I am not saying that we should look past any team in the playoffs. They are here for a reason. Although some teams like Weatherford are playing in the 3rd half of the season because of the new rule that allows 4 teams to go from each district, they are all forces to be reckoned with.

Even if Weatherford snuck into the dance, they are not to be ignored. They have a good enough football team to beat us IF we show up flat. But I do not see that happening. The Warbirds are on a 6 game winning streak and that will continue. With the way that we have been playing recently, I see no reason why we shouldn’t walk away with another check mark in the Win column. We are on a great run on all sides of the ball. As long as we show up and take care of business, the Eagles should basically score at will. Looking at the stats for Weatherford so far in the 2006 season, they like to run the ball a little bit more. Willie Fielder leads the way in their rushing game with a little bit over 1300 yards on the season, getting about 9 yards a carry. Our Defense will need to keep an eye on that ball. If we cause some turnovers and take advantage of them, we should have no problem in this game. I expect our younger players to see some action by the end of the 3rd Quarter. I expect a big crowd to show up to cheer on the Eagles. This is going to be a great Bi-District game. Let’s get out there and knock some heads around. GO EAGLES!!
