Final.
GOBS 2nd team played the 4th. Third QB got some reps.

After a jittery start of the game on both sides of the ball, Goblins started to look pretty good. The real test starts next week playing Mtn Home, Siloam Springs, LRCA then the WEST.  GO GOBS!

I believe all this is happening at the Goblin Stadium on Friday night.

Clarksville at Harrison.  Homecoming. Pre game kid festivities. Lady Goblins receiving 5A State Soccer Championship rings. New.gear in the Goblin Store (new avatar).  Come one and all to the game and events.  The game will be also on Kool 96.1 and GobTv.

Goblins had 5-6 TDs called back tonight.

Goblins had 5-6 TDs called back tonight.

Well it was 4 TDs, although we did get 2 TDs back a couple of plays later (I'll highlight them below).  What kind of hurt us was the 4 barely overthrown TD passes that is what we need to work on, because there was nothing but green to the goal and we could have really jacked up the score.  I noticed that our Sr QB was back, for passing and handoffs but not rushing as much due to his injured ankle from last game.  Our Jr QB did fine on rushing, handoffs and passing.  The Goblins offense seemed a little slow in starting off, but got better as the game progressed. I still think our defense is doing a great job to keep the other team off the board.
