Many things to take away from this game. For starters, we have a solid defense. Our defense plays hard and they are tough. Our offense only amassed 47 total yards against a stingy Demon D. The LHS defense kept us in the game all night long. We trailed at the half 16-3. Our guys battled all night and Dumas had the field position advantage every time I looked. But our kids dug in and fought. So overall, it was another good game for our defense.

Andrews. We had way too may miscues. False start penalties derailed at least two of

The good news? We woke up on Saturday! Life didn’t end with a loss. We got back to Lubbock at 2:00 A.M. The kids, all of them, we’re back here at 9 A.M. We just
