Diboll is extremely fast and Athletic, this may be one of the better Diboll teams in a while.

this is going to probably hurt a little bit.  if HJ can come up with a decent showing, however, it will be a nice confidence boost going into week 0.

I think they had more than a decent showing.... the hawk defense looked good!

Diboll defeated Hardin-Jefferson 14-3 in a scrimmage Saturday afternoon at Lumberjack Stadium.

Both teams were sluggish on offense the first part of the contest, but the Jacks scored two touchdowns in the last 15 minutes to take the win.

Diboll's defense did not give up a score until the final play of the scrimmage when the Hawks connected on a 43-yard field goal.

"We ran three types of defensive fronts today and we knew we would have some issues with one of them, but the main front that we'll use we did a great job with," head football coach Tom Sheppard said. "We gave up a lot of yards, but no scores. With the main front, we really got after them and they couldn't do anything about it."

Diboll's two scores came on a 16-yard run by J.J. Hubbard and a 24-yard pass from Jacolby Spencer to Cameron McCollum.

"We didn't do as well offensively the first 20 plays, but we got things going in the last 15 minutes," Sheppard said. "The kids have responded well and we've got things moving in the right direction."

Diboll got inside the Hawks' 20-yard line twice early in the scrimmage and came away empty. Hardin-Jefferson only got inside the Jacks' 20 once, as they moved to the 13. That drive ended with a missed field goal from 32 yards.

Very good test!

[hj_hawk_60]

our offense moved the ball well but just couldn't seem to finish, but thanks to our kicker Stuart Flowers we didn't get shutout...

our defense was very strong, just made a few mistakes...

after the scrimmage part it was 0-0

then the 15 minute game situation was 14-3
