The football team’s perfect record remains intact after the first round of the playoffs. The Leopards pulled away from the Hallsville Bobcats and cruised to an easy 40-13 win.
The Leopards failed to score a touchdown on the first drive of the game but were first on the board after a field goal by Mick Ellis. The Bobcats returned with a touchdown to make it a 7-3 game.
This was the only time the Bobcats led as the Leopards scored three quick touchdowns, one of which was a 52-yard interception return by senior Thomas Kotecki. Leading 24-7 at halftime, the Leopards came out just as strong in the second half, scoring 16 more points.
The Bobcats were able to get one more touchdown in the fourth quarter to make the final score 40-13.
Freshman quarterback Bowman Sells completed 17-23 passes for 297 yards and junior Daniel Sefcik caught six passes for 156 yards.
The Leopards next game will be against Lancaster at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Richardson’s Eagle-Mustang Stadium in the area round.
