The Alto Yellowjackets will host the Hull-Daisetta Bobcats this THURSDAY night because of a referee shortage; kickoff is at 7:00 p.m. The Jackets are coming off a 34-0 shutout of the Cayuga Wildcats, the first shutout since 2021 (63-0 vs Groveton), and also the first 2-0 start since 2019. The Bobcats have started the season 0-2 with losses to Trinity 47-6 and Danbury 40-2. It has been since 2013 that Alto and Hull-Daisetta played and the two have only ever met in the playoffs; this will be the first time to play in the regular season. Hull-Daisetta is under the leadership of HC Randy Birdwell who is in his 4th season at HD. The Bobcats return 18 lettermen with only 3 lost to graduation. They return 9 offensive and 9 defensive starters from a 4-7 bi-district finalist; they were 2-3 in district play in 2023. DCTF predicts the Bobcats to make the playoffs and finish 4th in District 12-2A D2 behind West Sabine, Deweyville, Evadale, and are picked to beat Colmesneil, Sabine Pass, and West Hardin. It is interesting to note that District 12 faces District 11 in the Bi-District round of the playoffs so these two could meet up again in the bi-district round. Hull-Daisetta celebrates 100 years of football in 2024.
