Howe's That It is officially fantasy football season where we send out the reminder that no one other than you cares about your fantasty football team. For instance, if you come up to someone and talk about how you have Tom Brady and Dez Bryant, you have fallen upon deaf ears within you getting the third syllable from your lips. We're just trying to save you some of your precious air that you'll need in the final moments of your life. Speaking of the NFL, one of our favorite friends from years ago, Amos Mazzant, who is a federal prosecutor in Sherman will get to hear the Ezekiel Elliott case tomorrow. Mazzant and I go back about 18 years as members of Sherman Kiwanis. If there was ever a true and honest man that can't be swayed from justice - it is my friend Amos. And now he's about to be "Famous Amos." There seems to be a misconception about the game of football that any old big guy can be a candidate for a great football player. However, while that may help in some cases, it is what was displayed on Friday night that is the true catalyst for a great football player - speed and quickness. Some of Howe's greatest linemen in school history were kids that weighed under 180 pounds, but could out-man a 240 pounder because he got to him quicker. Speed can overcome a lot of mistakes whereas mass doesn't.

Samaha told the audience that Howe is the 45th Palio's store in North Texas and when he mentioned that he was putting one in Howe, his colleagues were shocked. "They thought I was crazy," said Samaha. "But this has a been wonderful. I wanted to bring a first-class restaurant to Howe and I want us to be a big part of this town."

A team armed with good size, good athleticism, and good coaching can go a long way in high school football. But add dynamic speed to that combination and you have something entirely different - a state champion. The Gunter Tigers came into Bulldog Stadium Friday night as the undefeated defending Class 3A-Div II state champs and if their performance to open the season was any indication of something - it is that they have 15 more games to play in 2017. The Howe Bulldogs, by all accounts will be a good football team this year, but the fans of the hometown team won't be able to truly get a glimpse of that until this coming Friday night at Bowie. Howe's 50-12 loss to Gunter on Friday was more about Gunter and less about Howe. But there were some good things that the Bulldogs can hold their heads high about as the defense forced two fumbles in the first half and two punts in the second half. It also appears that sophomore linebacker J.C. Helpenstell is ready to make a solid contribution on defense. Freshman quarterback Cirby Coheley seemed poised for his age and completed his first pass of this high school career in the first quarter. Gunter won the coin toss and deferred to the second half as great teams normally do. Howe was forced to Continued on page 2
