Henrietta can breathe a sigh of relief
October 19, 2008I talked to Henrietta coach Byron West on Saturday night and it sounds like QB Seth Crumpton's shoulder injury is not that bad.
West told me it was "basically a flesh wound" and that Crumpton would sit out the next game against City View. But he should be back on Oct. 31 in a huge 5-2A showdown against Holliday.
If anyone questioned how much Crumpton meant to the Bearcats -- he is almost a one-man wrecking crew on offense -- they found out how desperately he is missed on Friday.
Against a pedestrian Olney squad, Henrietta scored six points. The Cubs had been allowing 32.1 a game.
Luckily, the Henrietta defense pitched a shutout and Crumpton will not be needed against City View next week. West said Chase Darnell will get that start.
I thought the three playoff teams in this district were Bowie, Henrietta and Holliday before 5-2A started, and after two weeks, I still believe that.
With Crumpton out, I think it is possible for Nocona to sneak their way in. But it sounds like he'll be back in action soon enough, and Bearcat backers should breathe a sigh of relief.
