Bulldogs come up short against Lingleville
By Lynsi Musselman
Moran Homecoming is Friday, Oct. 2 at 7:30 p.m. against the Three Way Braves.
“With all the normal distractions of homecoming, the guys have been extra focused on the task at hand,” said Moran ISD athletic director John Hughes. “Friday will be a challenge against Three Way, but if the guys do their jobs, we should hopefully get into the win column.”
Last Friday, the Moran Bulldogs came up short in the end against Lingleville, losing in a high scoring game of 59 to 70.
Hughes said it seemed that neither team last Friday could really ever gain the momentum to take control.
The difference came at the end when Moran could not make a stop, according to Hughes.
“The game was a blast, and the guys played their hearts out,” Hughes reported “I am proud of them for that.”
Junior Lyric Huskey had 217 yards rushing and three touchdowns, and he returned a kickoff back 64 yards for another touchdown.
Huskey also had six tackles on defense.
Junior Zak Keith had two catches for 41 yards and a touchdown along with returning a kickoff 47 yards for another touchdown. He also four tackles on defense.
