Corrigan-Camden Bulldogs Crush Hemphill Hornets, HEMPHILL, November 2, 2013 - The Corrigan-Camden Bulldogs traveled to Hemphill on Friday night (November 1) and faced the Hemphill Hornets. As with every opponent that the Dogs have faced this year, the Dogs took care of business and disposed of the Hornets and made it look easy. The usual suspects of Haden Armstrong, Carlos Inguanzo, Keegan Mitchell, Malyk Johnson, the entire defense and full supporting cast were in full business mode. Run, throw, catch, kick, wrap up and tackle, and all the basic fundamentals were on display. As with any day at the office, no day is ever entirely perfect. After all, there are forces working against you, but the Bulldogs have a good manager (head coach Seven Armstrong) to oversee the operations. His field manager, quarterback Haden Armstrong guides operations on the field.

Commentary
After reading that impressive scoring summary by the Bulldogs, it's easy to forget about the defense being a brick wall that the Hornets just couldn't run or pass against. The Hornets did manage to score two touchdowns. They also recovered an onside kick in the closing 2 minutes of the game. These gaffs, while they didn't have an impact on the game, didn't set well with Coach Armstrong. After the game with his team gathered around him, Armstrong reminded the Bulldogs of their mistakes. He wasn't nice about it either. The Dogs listened, they saddled up and headed for the showers, and then home. Just another day at the office (Business as usual).
