Size is not the cure-all in football. If not for three Howe fumbles, the game would have been an absolute slaughter by the Bulldogs. Howe’s defense allowed only 63 rushing yards and 35 passing yards while racking up 272 yards on the ground and another 50 in the air.

It was Orr who ended the game and his high school career with a pass interception at the Howe 30 with a spectacular return to the 10.

Eight starters played their final high school game that evening in Gainesville. In addition to Orr, Bledsoe, Morrison, Schneider, Thornhill, Eddie Hamilton, and Tim Underwood became the only Bulldog starters to ever walk off the field with a win in the

playoffs. Until Howe wins a state championship, they will remain so.

“The difference between our team and some of those other teams that we were associated with is that we had a common goal in mind,” said Orr. “No one really cared who got the glory, for the most part. We wanted to win the district championship and wanted to be the ones representing the district. We wanted people to come and see us play.”
