Orangefield Community:
The junior high kicked off their season taking a quick trip down the road to Mauriceville for some Thursday night lights.
The 7th grade started things off winning 24-6 against a very stout Panther team. Landon Agerton scored all four of his touchdowns, flashing his speed around the edge and making would-be tacklers miss. Downfield blocking was a key to his success as Traeson Addison, Kamden Smith-Slagle, and Lexon Detwiler did all the dirty work. Larson Richard showed his shiftyness as he contributed a handful of nice runs from the quarterback position. Defensively, the whole Bobcat unit was solid as white hats were flying to the football. Standouts and big hits were made by Valen Vacek, Dominic Vincent , Ainsley Skibo, Agerton and Richard. Great showing by this whole team with a lot of things to build on for the next game.
The 8th grade came in and tried to squeeze out at least a half of football before the lightning came and the skies opened up. The Bobcats opened up scoring on the first series almost immediately. Kaysen Click showed how fast he was gashing the defense left and right, scoring three different times around the end. Click also connected on a deep ball to Kolston Robinson who came inches away from scoring. Major Butler read the defense perfectly, pulling the handoff and scampering in untouched for six. Lawrence Stiener did his usual long touchdown running through his tacklers and scorching the rest. The offensive line was very solid tonight as Brennan Scott , Dean Bernal, Brennon Moore and Keaton Leonard made holes all night for Andrew Burt, Click, and Steiner. Defensively, Burt and Leonard took charge sticking their nose in there on almost every play. This group has their first shut out of the year with lots to build on for the upcoming season.
OJH Parents: Due to early release schedule, no outside visitors will be permitted to eat lunch with students tomorrow, September 6th. This will pertain to all early release days.
