Carthage - Football

Thursday, June 21, 2012

It's late at night and I'm sitting here at my computer in my office like I have so many times over the past three years. I'm burning the 'midnight oil' once again. It's the end of an era of sorts, but one which I look back on and smile when I think of all the great memories and friendships I've built.

CARTHAGE, Tx - With a spot in the 7-on-7 Division II State Tournament in College Station already locked up and set to begin on July 19, the Carthage Bulldogs are all about fine-tuning their game in the next four weeks.

Carthage participated in their last night of league competition on Thursday evening at Bulldog Stadium and posted a 2-2 record against Marshall and Evangel Christian Academy high schools. Evangel finished a perfect 3-0 on the night, while Marshall was winless at 0-3.

Rickey Ingram continues to win, both in life and on the gridiron.

Less than a year after undergoing surgery for a tumor on his brain, and despite suffering a season-ending injury during the 2012 season during Week 9, Ingram was excited as the day he first began playing youth football at age 11 when he recently signed a letter of intent to play football at Louisiana College.

MARSHALL, Tx — Visiting Carthage and host Marshall showed some positive and negative signs in spurts during Thursday afternoon’s 7-on-7 football action at Maverick Stadium, but both teams played about as close as they could be when it was all said and done.

Blake Bogenschutz, the talented soon-to-be junior quarterback for the Bulldogs, finished 18-of-41 with five touchdowns despite several drops.

LONGVIEW, Tx - Like many times before as a Longview football player, Jordan Burton made a key adjustment on Saturday. This led to a big play, and a nice souvenir from his last game at Lobo Stadium.

DIBOLL, Tx - Hot temperatures at Saturday's state qualifying 7-on-7 tournament at Lumberjack Stadium meant teams with the deepest benches held an advantage the longer teams played during the hot summer afternoon. With each of the eight teams having to play three straight pool games, fatigue was evident late.

DIBOLL, Tx - The phrase 'headed to State' and the Carthage Bulldog football team have often gone hand-in-hand in the past five years. After claiming the state title during 'fall ball' in three of the past four years, the 2012 edition of the Dawgs is already making a name for itself.

CARTHAGE, Tx - With each new year comes new faces, whether it's on the football field or whatever sporting event. The 2012 Carthage Bulldog football team - at least part of it - took the field on a unseasonably cool Thursday night at Bulldog Stadium and squared off with the likes of Marshall and Evangel Christian Academy(La.) with veterans and newcomers beginning their battles for eventual starting spots.
