Houston Academy coach Eddie Brundidge didn’t think his team played particularly well in Friday’s season opener against Wicksburg, but he will gladly take the end result.
The Class 3A, No. 7-ranked Raiders struck for two first-half touchdowns following defensive interceptions then hit a lull late in the second quarter before surging in the third quarter with two more scores in a 28-13 win over Wicksburg at Panther Stadium.
“I told them that I thought we were flat,” Cox said of a lengthy postgame talk with his players. “I am not making excuses, but we came out there and didn’t play football. They hit us in the mouth and we didn’t respond.” The Raider defense turned the heat up on Burkhardt throughout the game, forcing him to scramble several times in addition to the interceptions.
However, two Panther sacks of Mitchell for 17 and 12 yards followed by a fourth-down incompletion under pressure stopped the drive.The Panther defense had three sacks overall in the first half for 45 yards. “I thought we had a let up in the middle of the second quarter. We should have been able to finish them of,” Brundidge said.
