Bonham Varsity Football—Homecoming It had been almost a year since Bonham football fans celebrated their win over Lone Oak (48-35). So the Warriors had their homecoming on Friday night against defending Class 3A bi-district finalist Lone Oak and the Warriors picked up where they left off with a 27-20 victory. The spirit of the homecoming crowd lifted Bonham on the first drive of the game when the Warriors went 68 yards drive on 5 plays including a 46 yard run by Ayzon Dunlap then capped off by a 10 yard TD run by Tyler Rodriguez. Senior Trevor Hartwell set up 2 touchdowns with amazing catches including a 31 yarder to the 1 yard line.
Rodriguez went on to run for another 3 touchdowns including a 78 yard scrambler late in the 4th quarter to seal the game.
Purple Warrior defense showed up ready for the test that the Lone Oak Buffalos brought. The Buffalos averaged 46 points per game coming into Friday night. The defense held them to 13 points with big game performances from multiple players. Defensive MVP for the game is Blake Bowser who compiled 19 total tackles and helped seal the game with a late interception. Noah Shellman wins the Defensive Hustle award with 15 total tackles.

Jr High Volleyball It was a rough week for the Lady Indians as we traveled to Melissa. Both 7th grade teams lost in 2 sets. We had a few great moments, but struggled with transitioning on and off the net. Serves were also an issue this week. Both 8th grade teams also lost in 2 sets. 8th grade A started off great in the first
game and led for over half of the game. The team got down on themselves and could not recover.
will travel to Anna on Monday. This is our chance to turn it around the second half of district.
The Cardinals stole all four games from the Indians. This week we have focused on serving and defense at the net. The Lady Indians
8th GRADE FOOTBALL The 8th grade Football Team came up short 32-30 vs Lone Oak. Dustin Sewell scored 4 rushing touchdowns. Mason Rodriguez scored 3 2-point conversions and a fumble recover on a kickoff. Hagan McCraw had a huge game at defensive end and provid-
ed key blocks on offense. Cade Bowser made some heads up plays and had 2 huge returns. Jamari Murrell and Marco Delgado made key tackles throughout the game. Next week is the Warriors bye week.
7th GRADE FOOTBALL The 7th grade team is continuing to improve. They saw a tough defense of Lone Oak on Thursday. The rushing attack was led by running back Marshall Mason and Quarterback Jaron Ross. Mason ran the ball extremely well and did a great job for the Purple. The longest run
came from Ross in which he picked roughly 45 yards before being corralled. Cannan Farley also saw quite a bit of action carrying the ball and a few pass attempts went his direction. Overall, the boys played well, but a few miscues and turnovers were very costly in the closely played game versus Lone Oak.
The Indians Defense held a fast Lone Oak team to 8 points Thursday night. The defensive line, led by Jack Porter, totaled 4 sacks. The team played fast the whole night!

point conversions. In the second half the Warriors held Lone Oak scoreless. Highlights included a fumble caused by Elijah McFarland and recovered by Bryce Redmond. Leading tacklers were Devin Howery and Drew Stanley.
JV FOOTBALL Thursday night the JV played the best game of the year against a tough Lone Oak team. We manage to win the time of possession battle but a couple of key mistakes derailed the offense at times. The JV offense had some big plays from Terry Ross and
Warriors defense struggled early on. The Buffalos used a variety of formations and trick plays to score three quick touchdowns and 2
