TThe Archer City Lady Cats ended a six match losing skid with a 3-0 sweep of Quanah on Sat., Sept. 23, to open league action up on the right foot with a win.

Windthorst freshman signal caller Brock Belcher is going to be a problem for opposing defenses for years to come. The young phenom accounted for 287 yards of total offense – going 16for-20 through the air for 230 yards and four scores while adding 57 yards on the ground on seven totes as the Trojans pulled away for a 47-7 win in their district opener.

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.
