Bulldogs break records as history repeats itself

Howe’s 589 yards rushing and 599 yards of total offense Friday night vs. Tom Bean are new highs in school history.  Also, never before had two running backs on the same Howe team ever rushed for 200 yards in the same game, much less 250 yards in the same game.  Anthony Hawthorne’s 292 yards along with Stratton Carroll’s 266 make them the first tandem to ever do so.  Hawthorne’s 292 yards rushing was close to a single-game record.  Garrette Griffin rushed for 310 yards vs. Whitewright on September 14, 2012.  Easton Ross also had three interceptions and I’m still scouring the record books to find someone with four.

The game vs. Tom Bean is so similar to the Howe vs. Tom Bean game 30 years ago, that it’s a bit creepy.  Howe played that game on October 19, 1984 at Bulldog Stadium (two days off from this one).  Howe rushed for a school record 553 yards.  Ernie Willis tallied three interceptions that night vs. Tom Bean.

A full list of leading single-game top rushers will be listed in tomorrow’s Howe Enterprise

PREGAME NOTES

Howe leads series 28-10, but have lost six of the last eight dating back to 2002.  Howe has outscored Tom Bean 947 – 397 since the first meeting in 1935.

Howe won 12 in a row from 1943-1986 and 18 of 19 from 1935-1986.

The first game was played on November 27, 1935 in Tom Bean.  Howe won that initial contest 39-0 on the strength of Billy Bryant Cloud’s 100-yard performance.

The first game played at Bulldog Stadium between the two schools was on November 27, 1936 with a 30-0 Howe win over Tom Bean.

Tom Bean’s first win over Howe was on November 20, 1941 in Tom Bean.  It was their only win over Howe in 52 years.

The Howe domination ended on November 6, 1987 on a strange night in Tom Bean with Howe (8-1) thought to be a lock for the district-runner-up and advance to the playoffs.  However, Tom Bean’s “Black Dot Game” was born and Howe was upset 23-20 by Tom Bean and their rushing attack led by Brian Hamm and his 258 rushing yards.  It was the only year in which Howe Head Coach Jim Fryar would miss the playoffs in his tenure.  Howe finished 8-2 and missed the playoffs.   **two players’ sons from that 1987 classic will be playing tonight (Howe’s Brian Ross/Easton Ross and Tom Bean’s Chad Ashlock/Dylan Ashlock).

Since that fateful 1987 night, Howe leads the series 10-8.

Howe is 16-4 vs. Tom Bean at Bulldog Stadium.  Tom Bean’s first win in Howe came in 1995 after losing their first 13 tries.  Tom Bean has won three of the last four in Howe.  The last time Tom Bean played in Howe was on September 26, 2008 when Tom Bean won 7-6.  Howe’s last win over Tom Bean at Bulldog Stadium came on October 20, 2006 in a 27-0 shutout.

Last year,  Howe won won 43-20 in Tom Bean.

Howe school bus hit by vehicle

At approximately 7:30 a.m., a Howe ISD school bus was traveling east on Haning Street approaching the US 75 overpass. A silver SUV was stopped at the stop sign on N. Collins Frwy in front of the Valero service station. The driver of the school bus, stated that the silver SUV proceeded to travel through the intersection striking the bus on the driver’s side about mid way down the bus.  Due to a language barrier, it was unclear why the driver of the silver SUV proceeded through the intersection.

Howe Police Sergeant Michael Hill stated that no injuries were reported by either driver or from any of the kids on the bus. The kids on the bus were transported to another bus and taken on to school. School officials were on scene when Police officers arrived.”
