They threw an incomplete pass, and then the last play was a pass intercepted by Brayden Rogers. We started with a Wow! We ended with a Wow! Postscript: Cisco Loboes won a Bi-District Trophy and will play New Deal in Sweetwater on Friday, November 17, 2023, at 7:00. We hope and pray that Kanon Orsagh is able to play, but everyone appreciated the way everyone held together in spite of losing their valuable leader at QB. Ozona was big and had some hard running backs but our linemen played tough and held their own all night. I am sorry that the linemen are not mentioned more, but it is difficult when there is a mass pile up to see who all is involved, and also some JV players have rotated into the action, but without a program and not knowing who they are I cannot give ample coverage. And for the coaches, I know these plays have names that I don’t know and blocking schemes that are important that I also do not know. Keep winning and I promise to improve also. Addendum: I believe the person who traveled the longest distance to see the game had to be Chip Drumwright who drove from Denver—650 miles. 11/16/2023 12:00 AM

Rising Star Bows to Bronte in Bi-District
The Rising Star football season came to an abrupt end last Friday in Winters when the Bronte Longhorns defeated the Wildcats 3520 to win the Bi-District playoff game. The Wildcats received the opening kickoff and moved to the five-yard line only to have Bronte intercept a Wildcat pass to end the threat. Bronte then marched the ball straight down the field added by a Wildcat pass interference penalty to score the first TD of the game with 2:54 remaining in the first quarter. The PAT was blocked and Bronte led 6-0. The Wildcats turned the football over to the Longhorns on downs and they immediately increased their lead to 12-0 as the Bronte quarterback connected on the wide 11/16/2023 12:00 AM
