Seminole Throttles Pecos, 47-6

Seminole (2-1 overall) scored 33 first half points Friday evening en route to a 47-6 rout of the Pecos Eagles in SHS’ third straight home contest in the young 2018 regular season.

SHS senior running backs Noah Mata and Dylan Stokes both paced the way for the Indians, who amassed 418 yards of total offense on just 31 offensive snaps.

Looking to Make a Rebound

Hours following their 21-12 home loss to Class 3A, Div. II Idalou, Seminole Indian head football coach Kent Jackson confirmed his team revisited 14 specific mistakes which he felt led to his team’s demise on last Friday evening.

Football: Their Own Worst Enemy

What could go wrong for the Seminole Indians Friday evening, did go wrong.

Looking to Start on the Right Foot

Miscues and missed opportunities hampered the Seminole Indians in their 2017 season opener against the Lubbock High Westerners. They were mistakes which resulted in the Tribe’s lone regular season blemish -- a 20-17 overtime loss -- at Lubbock ISD’s Lowery Field at PlainsCapital Park in Lubbock.

As any athletic coach will be quick to point out, what happened in the past is in the past. But the lessons learned from such an experience can also prove to be a powerful lesson for the future.
