One Step Closer!!!
It’s Week 15 and the Abilene High Eagles are still flying high!! This week is a very good match up for the Warbirds. A Pflugerville run heavy team vs. the outstanding AHS Black Shirts. A very well balanced AHS O vs. a somewhat suspect Panther D.
Last week against Longview, the Pflugerville Panthers threw the ball less than 5 times. That is something we haven’t seen in a few weeks. I am excited that our Eagle D will most likely be playing the run first, and then the pass. I don’t think that Pflugerville will change up many things this week. They have made a great playoff run, but that is going to come to a stop. I know Coach Fullen has our boys prepared and ready to go. He has a game plan in his mind, and I am confident that it will work. It doesn’t look like the 3 backs for the Panthers are very fast, but they do get after it. I know our boys will take care of business. Pflugerville will not know what hit them.
I honestly do not think that Pflugerville’s defense will be ready for our Offensive attack. We are extremely balanced, and will go with whatever works regardless of what it is. I am expecting to have a great showing this week. Against Hebron, we stalled more times than we should have, but that certainly will not be the case against the Panthers. I know that our boys will have several great drives resulting in touchdowns each time.
I am expecting a massive crowd getting into the heads of Pflugerville. Last week we stretched passed the endzones and I know our boys were very excited to see that many people backing them up. I am positive that we will have even more fans in attendance to witness the 2007 AHS Eagles make history. This will definitely be a great game! Let’s go out there, fly high, and knock some heads around. GO EAGLES!!!

Class 5A Div. 2 Region 1 FINALS!!!!!!!!!
After a very exciting victory over Southlake, the Abilene High Eagles find the Hebron Hawks standing in the way in the road towards the 5A DII State Title. And much like last week, this looks to be a very good game.
Offensively, AHS needs to be more efficient inside the redzone. Last week we added 3 points on the board instead of 7 a couple of times. I am positive that the Eagle O will be prepared and pick apart the Hebron defense. I have heard that their rush defense isn’t that good. That could put Hebron in a bad situation with Lackey, Flye, and Bass in the backfield. We will have to take care of the football, and take whatever Hebron gives us to put this one away with a check mark in the W column for the Warbirds.
The Warbird D will have another sound game and shut down the high powered Hawk offense. Even though Hebron as turned the ball over 10 times so far in the playoffs (6 fumbles, 4 ints), they have still found ways to get it done. But they haven’t met the Eagle Black Shirts until now. Hebron’s QB, Tanner Marsh, only has a little over 50 yards rushing all season. So it’s either passing to any of his 4 targets, or handing it off to Darius Staten. I know that the Eagle D will make sure that Hebron keeps the turnover streak alive, and we will take advantage of them.
I am looking forward to seeing a HUGE crowd wearing Black and Gold. Hebron will be attempting a “white out� game. I am sure that will not be happening because we have a great group of fans that will outnumber Hebron 4 to 1. Let’s go out there, fly high, and knock some heads around. GO EAGLES!!!
