52.22 Howe Enterprise October 20, 2014
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
