Last night, the mighty fighting Bobcats took on the Coldspring Trojans for two games. Both teams put on a clinic leaving no doubt as to who the superior teams were.
The 7th graders kicked things off with a 30-6 onslaught of the visiting team scoring early and often. Lexon Detwiler led things off scoring from 40 yds out with a sweet pass from Porter Oldham to set the tone of the evening. Larsen Richard wanted a piece of the action as he lowered his shoulder plowing his way through would-be Trojan tacklers scoring a touchdown and converting two of his 2 point tries. Valon Vacek scored his first touchdown of the season with his own punishing run from 32 yards out. And of course, Landon Agerton did what Landon Agerton does, scoring a touchdown showing his speed and strength on a 45 yard run and converting a 2 point try. Defensively, the Bobcats kept the Trojans at bay making tackles all over the field only giving up a their lone score on a trick play. After a very spirited talk from golf guru Remington Connell, the defense stonewalled their opponents for the rest of the night. Brody Pate, Connor Haley, Graham Atkins, Kreed Spears, and Agerton anchored the defense making sure the Bobcats cruised to a victory.
The 8th grade didn’t skip a beat as they trounced the Trojans 36-0. Kaysen Click took this game over running for 2 touchdowns and throwing for another 2. Click had over 120 yards rushing and close to 100 in the air. He connected with Kolston Robinson from 32 yards out and Major Butler from 21 yards out on corner routes that ate up the Coldspring defense. Lawrence Steiner decided to turn on the jets and scored miraculously as he ran the opposite side of where the play was intended. Kaiden Curtice went to work throwing kids around like rag dolls and tackling everything in sight. Steiner, Robinson, Click, and Kaleb Flory had great nights on defense racking up tackles and Flory had a back breaking interception nearly returned for a touchdown. Easton Locke had several pass break ups as he was swatting balls out of the air all night long.
Both these groups will be on the road next week to take on Kirbyville looking to continue their successful season.

Last night the OJH Bobcats took the show on the road to continue their hopes of a District Championship. The seventh graders won a nail biter 22-20 with the eighth losing a tough one 20-0.
The 7th graders started off a little sluggish in this one as they were not ready for the speed of the Panther quarterback. Going down early 7-0 the Bobcats answered quickly with their own score from Landon Agerton. The Panther speedster broke free again score from far out . Porter Oldham would then connect with Traeson Addison to tie it up at 14 after connecting with Lexon Detwiler for the 2 point conversion. Agerton would find his groove in the second scoring again as he flashed his athletic ability while playing through an injury. Oldham would connect with Addison again for the final 2 point conversion of the game which ended up being the deciding factor. Golf legend Remington Connell and coach Babin made brilliant personnel moves on defense allowing the Bobcats to hold down the Panthers making them 2-0 in district play. Larsen Richard anchored the defense Graham Atkins lined up his troops making sure there were not any more easy yards to be gained by Anahuac.
The 8th graders came out ready to avenge last year’s loss to Anahuac. Unfortunately, they sputtered in the first half with a handful of mistakes costing them dearly in key situations throughout the night. For 3 and a half quarters the score was 6-0 after the Panthers scored
on their opening drive. The offense showed sparks of life but never caught fire with Kaysen Click leading the way with 20 carries and over 100 yards. Click kept the Bobcats in it for as long as he could. The Bobcats had their shots but just failed to connect on the big plays when they needed them. The defense went to work after allowing the early score not giving up another till late in the 4th. It was a group effort with all 11 hats flying to the ball. Kolston Robinson, Lawrence Steiner, Tryton Petersen, Zachary Ellis, and Easton Locke all had good games containing the edge and making tackles when they were called upon. Ellis had a huge interception late in the game to give Click another shot on offense. Petersen also came up with a fumble recovery which should have been two but due to some highly questionable at best officiating, it was not. The Bobcats fell 20-0 with score not truly indicating how close of a ball game it was.
Next week these groups will take on the Coldspring Trojans at home for 2 games on Thursday.

OJH Football: Tuesday night the mighty fighting Bobcats traveled to Bulldog Stadium to take on the St. Anne's Wildcats. It was a one game extravaganza with the Bobcats coming up short losing 22-8. Rhys Fenner and Logan Merriman led the offense for the Bobcats as they marched up and down the field with just a few untimely turnovers causing them to stumble. Fenner scored the lone touchdown for the Bobcats, gashing the defense with several long runs. Merriman connected with Dawson Revia for the 2 point conversion. Jax Pietz commanded the offense line making adjustments at the line and getting everyone lined up. Fenner and Revia also led the defense each having double digit tackles and keeping the Wildcats close. Ulysses Barajas also had a handful of tackles playing out of position and coming in clutch. Merriman nearly had two interceptions breaking up passes in key situations late in the game. Next week, this group will be back playing together with the other 7th and 8th graders against Coldspring at home on Thursday.
