a place on the team He is
running the 40 yard dash in 4.5
seconds, an excellent time
With times like that Mike is
quickly getting the attention of
the coaches plus some excellent
playing during the scrimmage,
it is hoped Mike will make the
team. Coach Tate reported
Mike tackled George Woodward
twice in the secondary to gain
the attention of the A&M
coaches. Good luck to Mike
Coach Tate reported Cotulla
was not as bad as Carrizo
Springs was in the scrimmage
last week There were some
bright spots but the penalties
hurt The Cowboys were strong
and agressive but need to
eliminate the penalties The
defense looked good, but made a
few mistakes.
Coach Tate said he and the
team will be disappointed if
they don't beat Jourdanton by
four touchdowns. Cotulla
should be favored in the first
two games. The team will have
the poise and character to be
the favorites.
