Week 7: #1 BTW vs. Bishop Kelley

Booker T. Washington's streak of dominance is still present and does not look like it will end as again the Hornets won 21-0 against Bishop Kelley. As in the previous games it was much of the same, basic offense and hardcore defense. It took some time but BTW finally got on the board with 2:12 left to play in the second quarter thanks to a great effort by star runnning back Isaac Bennett. Before halk he would have a big run that led to Jordy Albert throwing a great pass down the middle to Tre Stearns, which put the Hornets up 14-0 at half. Bennett would score again in the third and that score would end up being final. The defense recorded their 3rd shut out in 4 games, shutting down the run and the passing attack. What makes them so good is the speed and experience that they are showing. The defensive line is so good at plugging up holes, and getting into the backfield that the safeties and corners do not have to play close to the line of scrimmage. That allows for the secondary to make big plays and force turnovers, including the linebacking core that has a few INT's as well. They held Kelley to under 120 yards of total offense. The Comets struggled with field position in large part to Dylan Seibert's punting, he averaged over 45 yards a punt. However, in this game, like in previous ones fundamentals were a factor. Over 10 penalties committed by the Hornets hurt on certain drives and conitnued drives for the Comets. As of now they have not had to much of an impact but it would be better to reduce them no doubt as they could hurt against a stronger opponent. But overall a very solid and impressive performance proving why they are the favorites for that gold ball. The Hornets are now 6-1 and 4-0 in district play.
Player of the Week: Isaac Bennett had another strong performance as he rushed for 147 yards on 17 carries, leading the Hornets to a 21-0 victory. He also had two rushing touchdowns and several amazing runs as he broke tackles and even leaped over a defender as you can see in the picture. He is continuing a great senior season in which no team, even Broken Arrow has been able to stop him. Bennett should land on a solid college football team next season.
