Last season vs. Boyd
The season changed in Boyd a year ago. Howe came into the game with a 3-0 record and was facing a 1-2 Boyd team. Because of rain, the game was moved up to Thursday night which saw rain happen anyway.
Howe had their least amount of yards at that point in the season and was outgained by 311 yards – the most since 2014 to eventual state champion Waskom. Howe had a 65-yard Cameron Blesi touchdown early called back due to a facemask. The Dogs were never in the game after that. Howe lost, 33-7 at Boyd.
