The Smoking For Jesus Ministry School football team lost to Cherokee 59-14 Aug. 26. “We got an eye-opener,” head coach Charles Frazier, Sr. said. “They came in very physical, and they were ready for us. It was almost like a parking lot brawl – we just didn’t respond to the first punch. It snowballed from there. We couldn’t get that momentum going.” The Indians (1-0, District 15-1A Division II of the University Interscholastic League) took a14-0 lead, but the Eagles trimmed it in half. Frazier noted his team got inside…

The Burnet High School football team flashed much more than the seven touchdowns during its final scrimmage against Jarrell Aug. 19.
