Why they heck not, trying to keep him healthy for playoffs?

Running clock and let 3rd and 4th string RBs get some touches and both scored....was no need in letting him or Thacker run in 2nd half....

I feel ya, our field was spongy and mushy, we had guys walking gingerly at the end tonight.. We down to about 20 starters at the moment.. Js

I said it earlier in this thread that the people in hawkins had the chance to get turf this past spring and they voted it down... I could go into the whole reason to vote for it but I'll just say my home town was STUPID!

Sometimes hard to get a big project like that to pass, especially if your program is down. I always remember Hawkins as having a quality facility. Seems like they had a ton of money back in the 80s! It was nice going back there.....for me it’s been YEARS!

This game was the first shutout Alto has had since 11/6/2015 (vs Crossroads) and I must say I was happy about it (my apologies to the Hawkins folks). Before that, in 2014 we had 3: Buffalo, Grapeland, and Union Grove. We have had pretty good defenses over the years but something we have struggled with of late. Our team is a work in progress even in Week 10 so this was a definite positive. That and NO turnovers in the mud pit plus a limited number of penalties (I think 3) = progress and something to continue to build on. Good night for the Jackets.
