After an 0-2 start to the 2018 Texas high school football season, the Summer Creek Bulldogs football team has responded in a big way in district play.
After a 40-21 victory Friday night against the Humble Wildcats at Turner Stadium, the Bulldogs head into the most difficult part of their schedule 4-0 in District 22-6A play and tied for first.
As the game began, the Wildcats, who came into the game 2-2 in district themselves, looked to make a big statement and take a step closer to the playoffs.
In the first quarter, the Wildcats recovered an Andre Holliday fumble deep in Bulldogs territory, setting up a short Isaiah Robinson touchdown run.
Two possessions later though, Summer Creek answered; a 39-yard Holliday run set up a short Holliday touchdown run.
The missed PAT kept Humble in the lead at the end of the first; the second quarter belonged to the Bulldogs, who scored three of the four touchdowns in the period.
The last, a 19-yard touchdown catch by Tyler Via, put them up 26-14 at half.
In the third, the Bulldogs got a blocked punt deep in Humble’s end of the field, setting up a Bryan Bush 23-yard touchdown run.
The teams traded touchdowns in the fourth quarter for the 40-21 final; with the loss, the Wildcats dropped to 4-3 for the year and 2-3 in district play.
ATASCOCITA
The Bulldogs remain tied in district, with Atascocita, who kept on rolling with a 52-0 victory over Pasadena Memorial Saturday night at Turner Stadium. The Eagles improve to 4-0 in district and 5-1 overall.
KINGWOOD PARK
The Panthers improved to 3-0 in District 9-5A I and 4-2 overall with a 45-14 win over Galena Park Thursday night at Turner Stadium.
