FOOTBALL ROUNDUP: Burnet freshmen, Llano 7th
Burnet freshmen 18, Taylor 12
BURNET — Though both teams scored on their opening drives Sept. 27, the Bulldogs relied on their defense for timely stops during the game, coaches said.
“The defense played extremely hard,” coach Tim Hulon said.
Offensively, the Bulldogs scored when they had to, he said, scoring the winning drive late in the game.
Burnet suffered some costly penalties and turnovers, Hulon said.
ON OFFENSE: Quarterback Austin Moore hit Joel Johnson for a 65-yard touchdown pass for the winning score with 40 seconds left in the contest.
ON DEFENSE: Cullen Ferrill, Gabe Tercero, Trent Rockafellow, Rawley Jackson, Keedrick Hill, Wesley Shackelford, Oscar Perez, Tristan Briggs, Brock Foster, Peyton Utsey and Austin Moore
QUOTABLE: “The Bulldogs played hard and physical for the entire game and played the best game they have played all all year,” Hulon said.
UP NEXT: Burnet vs. Brownwood, 4:30 p.m. Oct. 11 at Bulldog Field, 1000 The Green Mile in Burnet
