Newport @ Hoxie

[Leo Marvin]

Due to some changes within the conference, Newport travels to Hoxie for the second year in a row.  The Greyhounds had two disappointing games last year with one of them being at Hoxie.  The Mustangs ran away with the game in the second half. 

This year, I don't think Newport arrives overconfident.  I'm sure they remember last year's game very clearly.

Newport is hard to defend. Lots and lots of speed. Put up 633 yards against Walnut Ridge. Got to go with the Hounds by 14.

Hoxie and Piggot punched Newport in the mouth and whipped them last year. Should be a good game. I think Newport won't let them repeat last year and Hoxie doesn't seem to be playing as well right now.

Hounds win their fourth straight in convincing fashion.

The game outcome last year was not because Hoxie punched Newport in the mouth.  That is not to say that they won't come out and do it this year, but that was not the case.  Newport was very flat from the beginning of the game.  Dropped two touchdown passes in the endzone, fumbled going in, threw and interception in the endzone, and got stopped on downs inside the 5 on a play that Newport felt they got the first down.  They also dropped wide open passes all night long.  Just not a very well played game and Hoxie hit 3 big plays on Newport.  The last score came late in the last couple of minutes after Newport's starting QB got hurt and the back up came in and threw a pick 6 to set the final score at 28-7. 

If Newport plays well they will be fine, but Hoxie is big, physical and they play hard.  Teams like that stay in games and win many even when facing better athletes.  Newport will need to play well to come out on top, especially playing on the road.

Go Hounds!!!

If the Hounds can continue with a balanced attack they will be fine. To much speed and to balanced for the Mustangs. Hounds by 14.

Score?

[Oldhound56]

Hounds pull out the win 35-25. Ran for 210 threw for 209. Pretty balanced.

The Hounds come from two scores down in the second half to get the win. Two weeks in a row with second half deficits that Newport has responded the right way.
