[Joharr73]

Tonight was West Hardin's Homecoming and Colmesneil came in & took away the win.

Here's the run down:

1st quarter

West Hardin - 0 --- Lot's of back & forth between the teams

Colmesneil - 0

2nd quarter

West Hardin - 0

Colmesneil - 12 --- #8 Eaves had a 15yd TD run (9:42) & #5 Berry broke one for 80 yds (3:50), both extra points no good

3rd quarter

West Hardin - 6 --- West Hardin came out, drove the field & #7 Miller had a 1yd TD run (4:16), extra point no good

Colmesneil - 12

4th quarter

West Hardin - 13 --- #8 Moss had a 25 yd TD run, extra point good (3:17)

Colmesneil - 19 --- #12 Maddox dove in for a 1yd TD, extra point good (6:20)

After West Hardin scored their last TD, Colmesneil ran back the kickoff to the West Hardin 25yd line.  Luckly, #12 Dorian had a good angle and ran him out of bounds to save the TD.  They chewed up about 2 minutes before having a botched field goal attempt, great coverage by West Hardin's defense.  The Oilers drove down to the Bulldogs 40 yd line, then had a pass dropped in the end zone.  Oilers had a false start penalty and made it 3rd & 15, #7 Miller was sacked to turn the ball over on downs.  Colmesneil used victory formation to finish the game.

The last 3 minutes of the game was a great thrill ride, I've never seen our fans cheering that loud to support our players.

Some after game thoughts...

The Oilers defense didn't look like the same unit that played Burkeville last week, they had lots of one arm tackles get broken this week in the 1st half.  I saw the aggressive spark to start the 2nd half, I only wish they had it at the beginning.  Overall, the Oiler defense looked descent, with the exception of the 80yd TD run in the 2nd, it was a pretty good battle.  

The offense also started clicking a little better in the 2nd half too, but the Bulldogs have some talented players that didn't miss near as many tackles as the Oilers did.  The Oilers missed on a couple of opportunities through out the game, a couple of times there was a receiver wide open and we missed it.

Tough loss for my Oilers, but just learn & build from it.  Next week will be a different story if you want it to.
