OJH Football vs. Hamshire Fannett: On Tuesday, the Bobcats took a road trip to face the Hamshire Fannett Shorthorns for their season opener. Out of the three games the Bobcats came away with two victories. The 7th and 8th grade B teams combined this week to try and steal their first win of the year. Unfortunately, they came up just short 6-20. They started off strong with Brennon Bloomfield blazing around the edge for the Bobcats only score of the game. The Bobcats began to run out of gas in the second half and the Shorthorns pulled away. Bloomfield led the offense along with Laiten Lytle running hard through the middle and around the edge. Luke Gilmore and Karsen Hardy held the defense together making several tackles keeping the Horns corralled the best that they could. 7th grade A team took the field next and looked a little sluggish coming off of the bye week. They quickly woke up as they made some big plays on offense, being led by Stetson Bishop. Bishop did a great job commanding his troops as Hunter Lincecum and Reagan Dearing continuously gashed the Shorthorn defense. Lincecum scored two touchdowns for the Cats while Dearing used his speed to get the edge for the other Bobcat offensive touchdown and a two point conversion. Bishop also punched in a two point conversion with some shifty moves of his own. Bishop connected with Dearing in the third for a potential score but was later discussed under some scrutiny and was overturned from being a touchdown. Late in the game the Horns were looking to make a last ditch effort to win the game, but those were quickly squashed by Knox Mansfield as he had a pick six to seal it. Tripp Kinchen hit everything that moved. Whether they were holding the football or just near it making punishing tackle after punishing tackle. Stetson Marshall had an interception early in the game to help the Bobcats score one of their early touchdowns. The Bobcats won their season opener 28-20 and look to grow on this early success. The 8th graders closed out the long night of football with a 33-14 shellacking. The offense sputtered early but soon found traction in the form of the juggernaut known as Landon Agerton. Agerton scored three touchdowns breaking several tackles on each run and at some point dragging people to the end zone. Tony Garza made his Bobcat debut taking the first offensive play for the Bobcats to the house only to be called back on a very questionable holding call. Garza would not be denied, later scoring on another end around play later in the game. Larsen Richard was the captain of the ship for the game running well between the tackles punching in a touchdown and converting a two point play. Lexon Detwiler had himself a game sealing the edge so his skill guys could do their thing and he also kicked an extra point to score himself some points. The defense was in the back field a majority of the night making any would-be ball handler pay the price. Connor Haley and Agerton anchored this crew making sure the Horns would never be close. Kamden Smith-Slagle also had an interception for the second game in a row and came close to returning this one for a touchdown. These teams look to open up district next week as they go on the road to Hardin to take on the Hornets. There will only be two games next week on Thursday starting at 5:00pm

Orangefield Junior High is home to the hardest-working staff in Texas! Our faculty works tirelessly to provide a safe, effective learning environment for each and every student. Many of our faculty members received nominations for this spotlight, but we want to take a moment to specifically highlight one of our hardest workers: Brandon Wells. Brandon is a part of our PM custodial crew that works hard to prepare us every tomorrow. Staff have found Brandon paying attention to tiny details that could very easily go overlooked. Every night, Brandon works hard to give our students a fresh learning environment in the morning. Thank you, Brandon Wells, and all of our custodians for your continued hard work!
