Go Friday Night

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!!!
