Bandera causes Comfort major pain in 40-6 win

The Bandera Prophet
The Bandera Bulldogs moved to 3-1 on the season with a resounding 40-6 win over the Comfort Bobcats Friday at Bulldog Stadium.
Bandera opened up a 19 point lead at the half courtesy of an early safety by Luke Barnett and a Beto Muzquiz 30 yard field goal in the first quarter and two touchdowns, the first a Tyler Moore to Brandon Miller 18 yarder and a Brock Johnson rushing TD with 58 seconds left, in the second quarter.
The second half saw Bandera add three more scores, a 30 yard Moore to Miller reception, an 11 yard catch and run from Moore to Alex Dirck in the third quarter and a Moore 30 yard scramble into the end zone to open the fourth quarter.
The Bobcats did get on the board midway through the third on a long pass reception and they kicked the PAT, but a too many men on the field negated the kick and the second try failed, to keep Comfort at 6 points for the night.
Bandera can check some things off of their list that needed work. Score more in the first half, check, cut down on penalties, check and protect the QB better, check.
There are still a few things left to check though, primarily cut down on drops of catchable balls and score when inside the 20 yard line. Rest assured that these items are getting the proper attention during practices.
The Bulldog defense had a good game overall and held the Bobcats to just 45 yards passing and 138 yards on the ground. AJesse Cardenas punt block gave the Bulldogs a short field on the first Bulldog touchdown and DB, David Guerra, also helped out with an interception late in the third to get the ball back for the Bulldogs last score of the night.
The Bandera offense gained over 400 yards on the night with three Bulldogs making the 100 yard milestone in the game with QB Tyler Moore passing and rushing, Brock Johnson rushing for over 100 yards again and Brandon Miller reached it on four receptions.
Bandera will host Manor New Tech tonight for Homecoming. The Titans (1-3) are coming off of a 48-8 loss to Poteet.
KIckoff is scheduled for 7:30 but get there early for Homecoming and because more and more people are coming to see the improvements the Bulldogs make this week.
