On the ASC update board!

Any word on HSU's Jordan Neal? "Bell rung," someone wrote, but that could mean anything. 
Hate to see that happen to anybody, but especially to a senior.
Sounds like the 2nd team QB did OK, though.

Shoulder.  Could be a separation, could be a collarbone, could be something else.  HSU didn't lose much with his backup.

Story coming soon.

Ron -- Thanks. I did check on the HSU site for the stats. No story up yet and the stats link on  the schedule/results page took me to the soccer box score. However, the live stats were still up. That showed Bernhard, HSU's 2nd team QB, completed 17 of 25 for 270 yds. with 2 picks and 3 td's. He added 9 rushes for 52 yds. Not too bad.
And HSU had 3 100+ yd rushers. Don't see that too often.
Way to go, HSU!

Speaking of stats. Did I read the penalty numbers correctly?
HSU: 16 pentalties for 189 yds.
LC: 10 penalties for 95 yds.
Good gravy, I am surprised the game is over already with all that clock stoppage.

Just re-checked the HSU site. Article up says Neal's collarbone was/is broken and he will miss a lot of the season.

For all that fuss that was made, how did LC's Henry Hunter do against the HSU secondary?

[baddog]

The HSU stats show he had 5 receptions for 58 yds. The longest was 24. No scores.
Make of that what you will.
Anyone who was at the game -- beyond the stats -- how did the HSU DB's handle him?

Man, I just wish i had been able to watch the game tonight.  I did listen to it though and it was a hard fought battle.  Good game TLU.  Way to pull out the win Cru.  Keep it up.       For those who don't know  the final was

UMHB   28     TLU    21

I cant wait to come watch this year's team play.  Keep it up oline! Good job!

Looks like TLU played a pretty good game.

A very good win for ETBU.  Not pretty but a good win none the less.  Roshawn needs more touches and that will help the offense out.  I think HPU had twice as many first downs they just were not able to capitalize.  We need to get better each week but were headed in the right direction.

Also props to the ETBU ladies soccer team.  They beat AC 3-2.  Previously they were something like 0-10-1 against them.

I went to the MHB TLU game, so I'll give a report, but first...

Sorry to hear about Jordan Neal's shoulder.  I was really looking forward to watching him this year.  Jordan, if you're reading this, heal quickly and I'll talk to you in class.

TO MHB-TLU:

It was a good game.  MHB's D looked rough until the third quarter and then someone ticked somebody off and they started bringing the pain.  Salinas looked good most of the night, but I promise he's going to remember a couple of hits he took. 

TLU has a RB (Bobby Lee) that looked really good tonight.  Over all, they looked pretty strong.

For MHB, Josh Welch only played the 1st Quarter, then Padron took over.  I don't know why.  Both looked pretty good.  Welch threw a long wobbley duck pass to PJ Williams for a TD early.  Padron did a good job of mixing it up, and looked especially good running the option.

Big up's for a few highlights today, particularly for the punting game. 

I'm not sure who, but I think it was Hunter Hamerick punted one 73 yards.  It was a low liner spiral over the head of the returner, and about the time the returner picked it up, he was plowed over. 
Also big props to Freddy Rollins for kicking a great punt and pinning them inside the 5.


And again, the Crusader D got off in the second half.

Over all, it was a close good game, I'm glad I took off from work early and made the drive.

HSU didn't double him or anything like that, they just treated him like another WR.  Johnson and Falgoust were Cooper's preferred targets.

BfB:

While TLU is now 0-2 (and v. two top teams, at that), I take comfort in recognizing how far they've come since reinstituting football.

[CRUGIRL]

Hey guys,
well the UMHB-TLU, was closer than we'd like here in Belton.   But from someone who has watched all but one match between these two team TLU is really moving up.  There offense was nice and worked well.  Luckily we stepped it up in time to close out the game.  Also nice Running back for TLU and are they doing spinning drill down there becuase as we watched the game the entire team was spinning out of everything.  Well, Nice game TLU.  Crusaders takes this game and step it up.  I beleive in you and form the looks of the crowd yesterday so does everyone in Belton.  Have a great week.

GO CRU![/move]

Tough one for the LC this past weekend.  I wasn't there, but it looked like we played decent in the first half, and didn't even show up in the second.  This weekend is the home opener, and it's against UMHB.  I hope we can have a good week of practice and come out swinging.  If not it's going to be a long day.
