Wife just doesn't cooperate. 49th anniversary....so she's not too excited about high school football. Thinking about staying close with Bracken vs Ludlow, large arrangement of roses, and a Sat promise to Capronis. Sounds like a solid plan to me.

LOL....caught this old guy. Considering where I live, non-football town of Augusta, every game I attend is chosen for a reason. Always want to see Beechwood, Campbell County, Simon Kenton, and lately a few Brossart and local Bracken Co. games. Wife's football appetite wore out years ago, so I don't push her accompanying me for fear she will take the remote away on Sat and Sun.

Respect your opinion, Bow88. Especially like your competitive spirit. Keep it up and recruit some more like you to support those Bluejackets. Program has grown admirably with fans like you.

No hate here at all. Coached against Nicholas for years when they just weren't very good. Proud of their progress, but being tested so strongly by Bellevue Tigers shows them to be significantly down from last two years. The measuring stick, if accurate, has been lowered!

Nicholas has been referred to as the District's measuring stick in early season threads. After last night's performance, if they are the measuring stick, the bar might not be very high. That being said, Nicholas still beats the Wildcats.

Fact 1). Justin Blackburn will be the best athlete on the field. Fact 2). Bracken's size, experience, and ground and pound will be a load for Ludlow to handle. Fact 3). Having seen Ludlow twice last year and Bracken three times, my unbiased view is Bracken will control the game handily with Blackburn busting a couple of big plays. He's just too tough to shutout. Bracken 28-14.

Are you really serious? Is deer hunting a priority for some of these Camels?

Probably deserved that observation. You must know my wife....asks similar questions all the time. Now can I have my question answered?

Suspension? Never heard about this before. What happened?

Glad to see Teegarden's performance. Notice stats seem to indicate Brausch handled QB duties pretty impressively. Did Deaton take any snaps?

Can someone give us some details and stats? So, disappointed to have so little info on the Polar Bears opening road victory.

Have purposely gone to 5 Camels games in last two seasons. SK, Ryle, Highlands, NC, and now Dixie. Have concluded that their pound and ground game is the key to their potential success. Their passing game has been entirely too inconsistent to make them competitive with the big dogs. Dowd is special and running him out of a more traditional QB under set could make him a much more deceptive challenge for defenses. Candidly, I find the shotgun...

Camels pull out victory 27-23 with ground and pound. Dowd was the man!

Incompletion. Camels takeover 1:02 to go. Dixie no timeouts. Dowd time!!!!!

Great break up of pass by Camels. 4th down and 10 on 24.

Camels drop interception on 12. Oh, my!

Guenther eludes rush and completes 29 yarder. Guenther goes around right side for 6. Guenther gets 1st on Camels 24.

Dixie gets kickoff out to 36 on a reverse. Camel's #2 being helped off field. Gives Dixie staff a little more time with Guenther.

2:35 to go. Dixie to receive. Colonels have no timeouts.

Hoeh takes another high snap for 7 and a 1st down. Dowd for 7 off right side. TD Dowd...10 yards. Camels convert for 27-23 lead.

Hoeh takes another high snap and goes for 5. Dowd gets 2 on 2nd down. Camels take 1st timeout with 3:41 on Dixie 24 yard line. Dowd! Dowd! Dowd!

After Hoeh overthrow, Dowd takes pitch around left side for 7. Offsides on Dixie on 3rd gives Camels 1st down on 31.

Camels takeover after short kick on own 40. Dowd goes for 17 to Dixie 43.

Guenther evades tackler dropping back, tucks ball and outruns 4 Camels with a nifty cutback at the 5. Kick good for 23-20 Dixie lead. 6:53 left.

Dixie is confused and has to call final timeout with 1st and 10 on Camels 15. For shame! Dixie fans going nuts.

Dixie gets called for holding, 1st and 21 on 31. Camels stop 1st down up gut. Guenther completes a wounded duck for 10. On 3rd down Completes a bomb to Camels 15.

Dixie gets 1st on own 42.

Dixie's QB Guenther is small, but very elusive. Dixie moving ball, 18 yards on 2 running plays. 2nd and 4 on own 38. 10:26 left in game.

Bad snap, Dowd gets 2. Dowd takes it odd rt tackle for TD. PAT good. 20-16 Camels. Ground and pound is beautiful.
