Well, it looks like I am going to have to change my mind about those Lohn Eagles for this year. The team that I thought would improve and mature from last year did not
happen. I drove over to Richland Springs tonight to watch the Coyotes and Eagles, and I was disappointed in the Lohn team. They had one back with some speed on
kickoff returns when the Richland Springs coach was playing his subs. When the Richland Springs 'A' team was in, Lohn was totally smothered. I know that the Coyotes seem to have a little better team overall than the State Championship team of last year, but I actually was looking for a better game from Lohn this year. I was told that the Coyotes had two or three of their starters out sick also. They were very impressive on offense. If I counted correctly, the Coyotes scored eleven touchdowns and only ran twelve offensive plays the entire game. Outstanding play and coaching in my book!

The Coyotes scored on 9 of 11 plays from scrimmage. A fumble recovery and a an interception accounted for the other two scores, and yes, they had two starters out for this game.

Looks like those mullin bulldogs are better than people gave them credit for the last couple of games should be some interesting ones

In my opinion, Richland will 45 them next week. Then it will come down to the Cherokeee game just like it did last year to see who goes #2. If the big kid plays, Cherokee will have a hard time beating Mullin, but if he is not back, Cherokee will go as #2.

BTW, they were sitting at the same place with the same record last year. Richland is still the super class of any district. If the Mullin boys pull together, I think they can beat Cherokee.

ya maybe so but i also believe Mullin is a lot more fundamentally sound this year than last year so they are a lot better team and looking forward to that last district game

Have you seen Mullin this year? I have........

yes i have and watched them play against rising star and on film against earlier games so i have a pretty good idea of what they were and now so i stick to my first statement and if you cant tell that from last year until now then you probably need to catch up on your football savy and watch more games

When I saw mullin early in the season, they lacked discipline. Maybe they have matured some as the season progressed. I think I commented and even complimented Mullin on that game because of playing with only 7 or 8 suited up. If you really think that mullin has a chance to defeat Richland you are going to be sorely disappointed.

No! This person is either one of the "new" coaches hired there that the community thinks is the best coach in the world or a member of his family or a member of the community that wanted this coach there. And I think in a way it was trying to take a shot at the coach last year. I know for a fact the coach last year worked fundamentals almost every day. You cant coach kids who already know everything. The good thing about this year for Mullin is th addition of the afore mentioned coaches son, the one incoming freshman from last year, and the the maturation of the Mickelson kids! Two of the three biggest problems from last year are permanently gone from the team and one blames everyone but himself for his ISS assignment. I have been positive about Mullin all year and tried to support them, but I too have seen them on film and am in contact with people very close to the program. But they will still end up 6-4 if they DO NOT come together for that last game against Cherokee and without #44 I dont think Mullin wins that game. If Mullin's local experts can leave the current staff in place, the next 2 or 3 years will be the best learning years because they will be very young and can and will improve.

Also, fundamentals are worked on in the spring of the year before! It takes a couple of full years to see what a staff can truly do. If you take the skills the younger kids are learning this year added to the skills from last year, they will get better.

I meant Mullin has gotten progressively better...and in no way shape or form did i say they were gonna beat RS...RS is too strong across the board...Im glad you know me sooo well and so confident on who i am texman301 so that must mean you are the ex coach or friend of him or family or a player from mullin or someone from another team in the district, or the post man, or innocent bystander i think that narrows it down lol...oh i am not a coach at mullin and meant no disrespect to the previous coach i just stated my opinion that i thought they were fundamentally better this year...and about fundamentals happening in the spring, yes they start there but i think its a uil rule that coaches cant teach football stuff/plays to the kids until two a days start up after a certain point in the spring so the most important part is during two a days when your getting the rust off of them and having to reteach some fundamentals just saying...again just my opinion and definitely wasn't taking a shot at a coach that i wouldn't know who he is thats not the type of person i am and its rude

So, really everybody in the district is fighting for second except for RS. Thats what Im seeing in the conversations, and thats what my guts going with.

Its hard to beat a team that is the returning State Champs, and with the Dave Campbells Six man Coverboy (Denim Reeves) on the team.

I agree with you and it would be exceptionally hard to "dethrone" RS...thats why im looking forward to that last game of the year with cherokee and mullin and hopefully a good one

My apologies Aquilla Ex! The "tone" of the post made it sound that way! And for your information, just to clarify, during the athletic period in the spring anything can be taught. It just cannot hold over to after school hours which it did not. The bad thing about Mullin is there is too much nepotism in the school district which ties into the school employees and there are many community members that think they know better than the coaches and the ones connected that work at the school tend to make things very uneasy for the staff there. If those people would just shut their mouths and let the coaches stay for a while and do their job, they would be amazed at the outcome.
