After a tough 0-3 start to the Lindale Eagles Football season, They have pulled off what many felt impossible. The 14-4A District Championship.
The Eagles even started District play with a loss to Kilgore, which may have been what got Lindale motivated. Whatever it was, Lindale has not lost a game since.
With their 28-17 win, Friday, November 6th over the Indians of Jacksonville the Eagles took home the Gold Football and patiently waited for the results of the Sulphur Springs win over Henderson. Because of the results from these two games, East Texas will get a chance to see a rematch of last years first round playoff game that sent Lindale home and Sulphur Springs on their way to a state title.
The first round game between the Eagles of Lindale, and the Sulphur Springs Wildcats will be played Friday November 13th at 7:30pm, at Van's Memorial Stadium and will be broadcast live on 99.9 KMOO and at KMOO.com. |

The Edgewood Bulldogs kept their playoff hopes alive by ripping the Rice Bulldogs 48-11. A long drive from I-35 for Rice proved to be longer after Edgewood recovered from a sloppy 2nd quarter to keep Rice winless on the season. Edgewood celebrated Homecoming after two consecutive losses, one to district front runner Kerens, and to Mildred. Although the Bulldogs will need some help their playoff chances remain positive.

Lindale’s Dynamic duo of running back Keandre Ross and Quarterback Matt Broussard exploited the Whitehouse defense for 355 combined yards in a 24-20 victory over the Wildcats.
“The Eagles, known as a passing team, took a surprise approach and attempted only two passes…. But that’s ok, their running game took over and ran the ball very well. Not only that, the Eagles defense had their best game all season.” said “Buddy” Munn, Lindale ISD School Board Member and proud Eagle Fan.
With only one completion for six yards, the Eagles showed a running game that was nothing short of outstanding. With Ross carrying 32 times for 186 yards and Broussard with 169 yards on 35 attempts, the Eagles wera able to control the pace of the game.
In the second half, Lindale’s defense was able to stall every drive that the Wildcats forced into Eagle Territory, holding the Wildcats to only 2 field goals.
The Eagles (3-4 and 1-1 in District 14-4A) will travel to Nacogdoches to face the Golden Dragons (3-4 and 0-2 in District play)
With the results from this past week the standings from 14-4A are interesting to say the least. Henderson has first place with a district record of 2-0. Jacksonville, Lindale, Kilgore & Whitehouse are all tied for second with a 1-1 record in district, and Nacogdoches rounding it off with an 0-2 record. |
