Finally the Brook Hill Guard is getting to hit somebody besides themselves!!

That had to be running through the heads of the Brook Hill coaching staff earlier this week as they took the field for practices against a unpredictable, San Augustine Wolves on Friday night at Herrington Field on the Brook Hill campus.

After thumping Hawkins 28-7, almost two weeks ago in the Tyler Classic, Brook Hill had an open week, and no seniors on campus due to a senior trip during the healing week. Prior to the Hawkins game, due to a Cayuga cancellation of their last scrimmage, it had been since August 16 that The Guard had hit anybody other than a teammate.In the Hawkins win, sophomore Tyler Baker more than proved to be ready for a district title defense, leading the team with 100 yards with his feet, another 62 with his arm, and 12 points on the scoreboard.

All-state running back is still out until further notice wich allows Jamel Bell and Luke Molidor to handle the majority of the carries. Defensively, the Guard handled Hawkins at will after two possessions, and the only Hawks score came against special teams with a kickoff return. Individual standouts included Ross Nichols with several tackles and an interception that led to the first Guard touchdown of the season.

Before the year is out, freshman, J.B. Moss may prove to be irreplaceable with his skill at defensive back and a proven, 4-for-4 PAT kicks.

San Augustine opened the year and a lot of eyes with a season opening 28-7, win over Class 1A state champion, Alto,

Leading the Wolves on offense will be fullback, workhorse, Fred Mosley (5'9. 180. Defensively, San Augustine returns eight starters from a 2- 8 team from a year ago under second-year head coach, Lynn Graves. Graves is in his second term at San Augustine and formerly was the head coach at S.F. Austin University.

Defensivly, the Wolves will look to end Michael Holmes (6'3, 245, 4.5) linebacker, Terrance Robinson (6;0, 230, 4.7), and defensive tackle Josh > Davis (6'1, 290, 4.7). Mosby had 50 of the 100-yards totaled last week in the 56-13 loss to fourth-ranked Arp. DArius Porter will quarterback the Wolves but managed only four completions.
