Howe routs Bonham despite penalties

by Monte Walker

The Howe Bulldog KoolAid was passed out amongst the spectators crammed into Bulldog Stadium on Friday night. Most people sampled, but the highlytouted coaching staff didn't pass it out to the team as the Bulldogs committed plus or minus 10 false starts on offense. Despite the week zero normal sloppiness, the 'Dogs hung nearly half a hundred on the Warriors of Bonham to start the season 1-0 for the eighth time in before the snap on offense and missed some calls on nine seasons. That Bulldog logo and the defense that hurt us.
