FOOTBALL: Area teams looking for bounce back

Three Montague County schools must bounce back from heavy losses as the eighth week of the season takes place on Friday.
Denton Calvary defeated Saint Jo 61-8 while Cisco shut out Nocona 48-0 and Tioga whitewashed Gold-Burg 51-0.
This week, Saint Jo will play at tough Savoy in a battle of 3-3 teams. Nocona will travel to Wichita Falls and play City View at Veterans Field. Gold-Burg makes the two-hour drive to Benjamin for its final non-district six-man game.
As of press time, it was a 50-50 proposition whether Jeremy James would be healthy enough to start at quarterback for Nocona against City View.
James suffered a shoulder injury during an Oct. 2 loss to Holliday.
“It’s still up in the air, it depends on his arm strength,” Nocona head coach Brad Keck said.
City View has a talented running back in Deon’Tray Jordan, and the Mustangs are coming off a 42-27 victory over Millsap. Tamell Monroe will be under center.
“They’ve got a good running back, and a rushing type of quarterback,” Keck said. “They are fast. We have to contain them. If they get to the second level, they can score.”
City View is efficient running screen plays as part of its spread offense. Defensively, the Mustangs will run both a 4-3 and a 3-3 stack, with Ronnie Killen making it go.
Nocona’s games have been more defensive-minded as the Indians have given up 190 points in six games. Meanwhile, City View has surrendered 232 during the same amount of contests. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.
