This will be a tough game. OF has to get rid of those fumbles. This Hawk is rootin' for you OF!

[kicker]

I believe they are a run oriented team that has a kid that is a beast. Stop him, you have a good shot to win. With OF defensive strenght being the run, this could get interesting. Also looks like LG gives up some points on the defensive side.(Not last nights game) Logic says LaGrange but heart says Bobcats. Either way, LaGrange better not think its a walk in the park.

Way to go OF followed my "nephews" on the web last night while freezing in Huffman

[Jwat222]

Thank you MoFo and congrats to yall. It was a great game to watch. If our O line plays like that next week then I feel real good about our chances. We gave up some run yards but man that qb was elusive. Our secondary played lights out though. Good luck to yall and hope to see the hawks again soon.

This game will be played next Friday, Nov. 21

 

Site still not decided on.

I may be in the minority, but I won't be surprised if Orangefield wins this game. They run their offense very well.

[Guest ECBucFan]

Only glaring hole I saw was the 3 fumbles. They will kill you in the playoffs. Other than that the OF offense clicked really well.

One thing that glares out at me is that the better teams have been able to throw some points up on them. Hopefully OF can find their rhythm, get some momentum, and knock them out.

I would like to see OF win this game. But it's gonna take a mistake fire game. And some time consuming drives.

And IMO, those fumbles were a huge reason Kashmere hung with them. You take away 2 of them and Orangefield puts it away in the 3rd quarter. Dont get me wrong, the passes were getting the job done but the fumbles were more detrimental.

Gonna be a tough win for orangefield! This is high school football and it can be done, gonna be a battle! Good luck orangefid bobcats!

[bedelmon]

Great job OF.... Good luck next week. Show'em how we roll down here in the swamp...

HJ is pulling for you guys!

I heard Orangfield should have beat La Grange in 2003. I might be wrong, but Orangfield threw a INT inside the 10 about to score with only a minute left.

Yep

[Guest MTJ]

I remember the Orangefield running back that year. Sauceda? Was that the year Liberty went undefeated and lost to OF in the Bi-District game? In Liberty?

[Cat22]

That is correct but that game was in Orangefield. The year before Liberty beat Orangefield in Liberty.

[Bobcatfan4life]

Sauceda was our RB in 2002 when we lost at Liberty. In 2003 we had a RB named Thomas Hambrick. That year we had a 1,000 yard RB (Hambrick), 1,000 QB (Modica) and a 1,000 WR (Farias)

[Guest MTJ]

Ok. That makes sense to me.
All I remember was :

Game in Liberty
Sauceda
Liberty being 10-0
Orangefield winning

Thanks for the clarification.

[spede]

Good luck OF....got some family over in those bobcat woods myself....HJ wishing you guys the best.

That was 2002 Liberty went 6-6 and beat Orangfield 14-10 in the first round and lost to state ranked Bellville 23-14 in the area round. Sauceda was a talented man. Super fast
