Bobcatfan4life Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Orangefield Bobcats This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Coach Blake Morrison enters his 4th season as head coach of the orange and white and will look to shake up the 21-3A waters in 2007. Coach Morrison hopes to lead the ‘Cats to a place they haven’t been since 2003, the playoffs. It will be a very tall task to get there as 21-3A is thought of by many to be one of the toughest districts in the state. Key Wins Last Year: Splendora (34-26) Jasper (33-7) Last Year’s Scores:Orangefield 28 Buna 7East Chambers 41 Orangefield 29Orangefield 34 Splendora 26Silsbee 35 Orangefield 27Orangefield 33 Jasper 7Kirbyville 40 Orangefield 26Bridge City 28 Orangefield 18Hamshire-Fannett 20 Orangefield 7West Orange-Stark 40 Orangefield 13Orangefield 45 Hardin-Jefferson 32Offensive SummaryLast year the Bobcat offense averaged 26 points per game. The ‘Cats lost arguably one of the best quarterbacks to ever come through Orangefield in 3-year starter Bret Ramsey (Louisiana College) to graduation. Jerrod Helton will fill that spot for his senior season after playing at the receiver position last year and catching 4 touchdowns. Look for tailback Shea Mayo to make an impact on offense as well as tight end Jeremy Granger. A total of 6 starters return on the offensive side of the ball in 2007.Other Offensive Impact Players:Ben Dixon (OL)Defensive SummaryDefensively Orangefield allowed 27 points per game in 2006. Many would think that having just 4 starters back on defense would cause the Bobcats to struggle on that side of the ball. However, Coach Morrison is a defensive specialist and should have the young Bobcats more than ready to compete in a district full of high powered offenses. Of the 4 starters back, defensive back Ryan Granger will be counted on heavily. Granger hauled in 6 interceptions last year and should have another great season in ’07. Other Defensive Impact Players:Zach Peevey (LB)Jacob Felts (LB)Jace Statum (DB)The Bobcats will open the 2007 season at home against rival Buna. The following week they host last year’s 24-2A champion from East Chambers. Orangefield closes out non-district play with a road game at Splendora. A key game this year for the Bobcats will be the district opener at Silsbee. Last year’s game between the two turned out to be a classic as the Tigers narrowly escaped F.L. McClain Stadium with a win. Look for the ‘Cats to be fired up in week 7 as they travel to Bridge City for the 8th annual Bayou Bowl game. Here is the complete 2007 schedule for the Orangefield Bobcats……Aug. 31 BunaSept. 7 East ChambersSept. 14 @ SplendoraSept. 21 OPENSept. 28 @ Silsbee*Oct. 5 Jasper*Oct. 12 @ Kirbyville*Oct. 19 @ Bridge City*Oct. 26 Hamshire-Fannett*Nov. 2 @ West Orange-Stark*Nov. 9 Hardin-Jefferson*

TXBaseball Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 What about Clint Worthy, Caleb Worthy, Jared Hutchison? Are these guys not playing again?

Cat22 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks etbu. Good luck to the Falcons also. I hate it that we are not scrimmaging this year. Maybe next year. Oh and as far as bobcatfan4life is concerned, that would be a full time job trying to keep him straight and I just dont have the time for that!!! ;D
Guest coach Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Of will win some games this year I believe
East TX Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 I was quite proud of OF--they gave Silsbee and WO-S very good games last season.I look for Ben Dixon to go D-1 he is quite a lineman and a good kid.Celina and OF are very different--Celina recruits and OF just develops the kids from their neighborhood. I would think OF would give Celina all they wanted.
