Henrietta looked like a laundromat with so much dirty laundry on the field. It’s hard to take much away from a game that featured 33 total flags for 230 yards.

Don’t look now but the Holliday Lady Eagles might just be playing its best ball as league play gets rolling across Archer County. Holliday has won 11 of its last 13 outings – including a 2-0 mark to open up District 7-3A play.

What a difference two weeks can make. After giving up 40 points and 270 yards on the ground in the home opening loss to Jim Ned, the Holliday defense held Childress to just six first downs and two late touchdowns in a 24-14 win over the Bobcats on Fri., Sept.

It certainly wasn’t pretty, but as the old adage goes ‘an ugly win is better than a pretty loss.’ Windthorst (2-1) needed a late fourth quarter score and defensive stand at the buzzer to fend off an upset-minded Wheeler (04) squad to win, 20-14. Trojans freshman quarterback Brock ‘Big Juicy’ Belcher put the Blue Crew on top for good with an 8 yd keeper around the left side at the 9:21 mark in the final quarter to lift Windthorst to the come-from-behind victory.

Windthorst was haunted by several turnovers and missed opportunities on offense in a 16-6 setback to Muenster on a lightning-filled Friday night. “We did not execute well in any of the three phases,” Trojans head coach Chris Tackett said following the loss.

Archer City battled Class 3A Millsap to a 0-0 draw after a quarter of play before lightning in the area ultimately ended the contest. After exchanging punts to open the game, Archer City took over near midfield midway through the opening quarter.

The Holliday Lady Eagles collected a 3-0 (25-18, 25-18, 25-15) sweep of City View to begin District 7-3A play with a win on Friday, Sept. 8.

Holliday cross country continues to dominate. With three meets under its belt, the Holliday Lady Eagles still have not tasted defeat, winning each of its first three outings by an average of 25 points.

These Holliday Eagles may have just found their offensive identity. After two games and three quarter of limited offensive success with the spread, a fourth quarter shift to the I-formation allowed the Eagles to extend a 6-0 lead against Idalou to a 19-point shutout win in a 19-0 blanking of the Wildcats.
