Tough Test Against Richland Hills
This week the Warbirds face off against a tough Rebel team. I am excited about this matchup and have been since the season started. Richland won the 7 on 7 tournament this past summer while Abilene High won the consolation bracket.
The Eagle secondary has been labeled the weak part of the Black Shirts. That is not true. There are no weak links to the Eagle D. We have not faced a team that passes the ball as much as they run or more in a very long time, which of course takes away from the stats. Richland's offense will have nothing going for them all night because our D will take care of business. Nothing will get past them. I am confident that Coach Fullen has our boys prepared for anything that the Rebels throw at them.
Richland has not faced a team as well balanced on offense as ours. No matter what the Rebels do on defense, the Eagles will expose a weakness and take advantage of it. Once the Rebels take care of that weakness, there will be another exposed. I know that Stephen and the rest of the Eagle O will drive up and down the field and put points on the board. Richland will be scratching their heads, not knowing what to do.
This will be a very exciting game. I am looking forward to seeing thousands of fans supporting the Eagles as we set our eyes on the District 3-5A Championship. Let's go out there, fly high, and knock some heads around. GO EAGLES!!!

Ready To Play After The Bye Week
First off, I'm sorry for not having any blogs up in a while. My computer crashed, and well, you know that is a bad thing.
The Warbirds have a chance to clinch a playoff spot tonight as we face Haltom City. Much like our offense, they are very balanced. They have a talented quarterback that can spread the ball around or hand off to a quick running back. But Haltom has not faced a D that is a stellar as ours. The Black Shirts will certainly give Haltom troubles all night long. I expect more turnovers to occur, and one or two returned back for touchdowns.
Thanks to the Black Shirts taking care of business, the Eagle O has had outstanding field position throughout District play. I expect the same tonight. I am confident that the O will march down the field and score on almost every possession we have for the game. The Haltom defense will be picked apart all night long.
Thanks to our bye week, the Warbirds had a chance to rest and heal up. And it was needed after the Weatherford game. I am certain that the Eagles will be at full tilt for this game as well as our fans. I expect a massive crowd cheering on our boys. Let's go out there, fly high, and knock some heads around. GO EAGLES!!!
