#5 Ryan Granger, he's a senior and it doesn't look too good. Early word is a torn ACL, he will see a doctor Saturday. And it happen on the 2nd play from scrimmage...poor kid has battled injuries all year. First game back last week and he played well against East Chambers gaining almost a 100 yards on like 12 carries. He was the one true back we had that had some speed, you just have to feel for a kid like that being a senior. Hats off to Splendora, they just pounded us with the run all night long. Their offensive line is huge and we had no answer to their power running game. Good Luck to you guys!!!

I never heard of Granger getting hurt til now. I really really hate this a lot. He was a great player and kid. I hope everything turns out the best. There have been too many injuries in the Orange sports area already this year and all 3 of the major ones are to seniors, 2 girls and 1 boy now.

Splendora squeezes past Bobcats, 22-14

Kurt Allen

The Orange Leader

SPLENDORA — A ground attack was the order of the night as the Splendora Wildcats outdueled the Orangefield Bobcats 22-14 at Wildcat Stadium on Friday.

Splendora (1-2) picked up its first victory of the season thanks to a combined 187 yards rushing by seniors Josh Ables and Austin Hill, while the Bobcats (0-3) kept it close with a 108-yard night by fullback Jeremy Granger. The Wildcats also got a late cushion with a touchdown pass from senior quarterback Drew Purdy to Anthony Upshaw to close out the game.

Orangefield looked poised to strike on the game’s opening drive after quarterback Jared Helton picked up 15 yards on a pass to Ryan Granger. However, after allowing the Bobcats inside the Splendora 30, Mathew Kite, Bryce Luman and Will Swearingen stepped up defensively for the Wildcats, who got the ball after it was turned over on downs.

Neither team was able to mount a significant drive until late in the first quarter when Splendora took advantage of decent field position. Moving ahead on the legs of Ables and Hill, the Wildcats drove deep before Ables capped off the push with a one-yard run. Then, on a fake PAT attempt, Purdy found Ables in the end zone for the two-point conversion and the 8-0 lead early in the second quarter.

Orangefield responded on its next drive thanks to a 42-yard keeper by Helton and a 27-yard scoring run by Jeremy Granger. But a bad snap on the kick attempt prevented the Bobcats from getting the point and it was 8-6 midway through the second.

Splendora answered right back after a short kickoff gave the Wildcats the ball near midfield. A 34-yard scamper by Hill eventually set up a five-yard scoring run by Ables, and the PAT made it 15-6.

In the third quarter, Orangefield pulled within one point after a 17-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a two-yard Jeremy Granger run. The Bobcats converted the two-point conversion to make it 15-14 at the end of the period.

But the Wildcats had one final, long drive in them, taking six minutes to drive 13 plays on runs by Ables, Hill and Joe Connell. Purdy’s six-yard pass to Upshaw, who caught the ball while sitting on the turf, put the game out of reach.

The Bobcats will head into their open date week next week and will crank up District 21-3A play Sept. 28 when they visit the Silsbee Tigers.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
