If there was still any lingering feelings of Howe being an underdog or a surprise team, that officially ended Friday night with the win over Gunter The transformation to a front-runner mentality will require an entirely different attitude from the 'Dogs. Some teams handle that transition well and others never can make the adjustment. If there is any indication that they will be able to handle it, a glimpse could be seen in the fourth quarter when Howe shutout Gunter and a punt and two turnover on downs to secure the win

Gunter won the coin toss and deferred to the second half Howe had to punt on their first possession After a short punt, Gunter took the ball at their own 46 yard line However, the Bulldogs forced a punt which turned into a key moment in the game Gunter punter Cameron Hearn tried to field a bad snap that rolled back to him. While trying to field it, he went to a knee at the 17-yard line which killed the play and gave Howe the ball at that spot.

Grisham would score from 10 yards out 2:04 minutes later and give Howe the early 7-0 lead with 6:14 left in the first quarter

Gunter would start their next possession at their own 40 yard line and would drive the length of the field and even set up a first and goal situation, but false start penalties would force them into a fourth and long and an attempt to throw it in the end zone That's when Nick Wilson intercepted his fifth pass of the season at the goal line and run it out to the Howe 13

Staring in to a decent north wind, Wilson would have another short punt that gave Gunter the ball at the Howe 34 Two plays later, the Tigers' freshman playmaker Dylan Jantz would score on a slot reverse on a 34-yarder to tie the game, 7-7 with :54 left in the first quarter

Howe had to punt again on their next possession where Gunter took over at their own 47 yard line. Three minutes later, Howe forced continued on Page #5 type of result could give the program the confidence to become Howe's fourth state champion

"We won this competition and we were very proud and excited to except the award but we accept it with humility." said Ashlyn Ellis, captain of the color guard. "We all feel very good about this year and this competition just goes to show us that hard work pays off I believe that we have what it takes, we just need to continue on the path we have stared and finish it strong "

Band Director Angie Liss dodged the question of whether or not this band was capable of winning state, however she is quite confident in her performers "I'm extremely proud of how hard the kids are working and each performance is better than the one before We all really love this show so we're having fun and learning so much as we tweak and fine tune all aspects of it. Our football crowd doesn't get to see it with all the props and bells and whistles since we only pull those out on turf fields but we're proud of the concept we've put together and anxious to see where we can go with it."

Award winning Drum Major Jessica Doty said, "A performance like this weekend definitely gives you confidence going into future competition especially with UIL starting this week A great run this weekend was definitely needed as a confidence booster for everyone We know we need to continue to work even harder to clean our show but this weekend shows how capable our band is of achieving our goals and succeeding this year"

Great things could be in store in 2015 as the band keeps progressing each week. The Pride of Howe showed why on Saturday.
