Horseshoe Bend looks for first consecutive wins since 2016

Lizi Arbogast / The Outlook Horseshoe Bend's Gavin Brazzell had a great game last week on the rushing attack, and the Generals are going to need more that tonight against Loachapoka, which boasts a strong defensive front.

Coming off its first win of the season, Horseshoe Bend’s football team isn’t looking to drop the ball now. The Generals are heading to Loachapoka and wanting to keep their momentum up heading into a bye week before they try to make a playoff push in the struggling Class 2A Region 4.

“Getting a win would be important just to keep the morale up and to keep the kids knowing we can do this,” HBS coach Jeremy Phillips said. “If we can go out there and play well and do what we need to do, I think we got a good chance. But at the same time, we’re one of them teams that if we don’t play, we will not win. Every game, every week, we gotta go out and play well.”
