From the press box-October 5, 2008
First of all, I want to apologize for not posting anything last week. This has not only been a trying year for me, but a trying past few weeks. I can't say anything about it right now, but it has been stressful. I hate change, but I have gone through a lot since August. Hopefully, things will settle down a little later on. Once again, I apologize for not posting.
Let me bring you up to date on Badger football over the past couple of weeks. Last Friday, the Badgers exploded for 44 points and over 400 yards of total offense as Beebe defeated Crossett, 44-27. Sammy Williams had another outstanding game on offense, Roger Glaude was awesome in passing the football, but I was really impressed with junior Victor Howell. Victor, who didn't play football last year, snagged a 75 yard touchdown pass from Glaude. The most impressive stat was the fact that Beebe was 5-5 in 4th down conversions.
This past Friday, the Badgers traveled to Jacksonville to play North Pulaski. It was homecoming for the Falcons, but judging by the crowd, it looked like Beebe's homecoming as it appeared there were more Badger fans than Falcon fans. After the Badgers spotted North Pulaski seven points on an 89 yard screen pass, Beebe stormed back, or should I say, Sammy Williams stormed back. On the ensuing kickoff, Williams took the ball at the 15 and raced 85 yards for a touchdown. By the time Beebe kicked off to North Pulaski, the momentum had clearly shifted. By the time this game was over, the Badgers had rolled to a 40-13 win over North Pulaski. Williams had 284 yards on 27 carries with 4 touchdowns in addition to the touchdown on the kickoff return. In my opinion, this was probably the best individual performance by a Badger since the likes of Tony Lockhart.
This upcoming Friday lurks the biggest game of the season as the Monticello Billies make the long trip from Drew County. Van Paschal seemingly has righted the ship and has the Billies in contention for the 5A Southeast Conference championship. After starting the season 1-2 and running the offense out of the Spread, Monticello is 2-0 since returning to the Wing T. The Billies have some incredible athletes and no doubt has the Badger coaches worried. The initial weather forecast for next Friday is clear with a high temperature of 81. That should translate to standing room only on the home side of Bro Erwin Stadium in Beebe.
