Conference is off and running!!! We faced Angelo State Saturday night in our first conference game of the season and came away with a great victory. We started off the game pretty much neck and neck with them but late in the first half we had a huge spark defensively and went into the locker room up by 14. We knew we had to come out strong the second half because this is a very tough team to play. We ended up doing a great job the second half and really had a great game defensively.
Speaking of defense, we worked hard on it all week after our loss to University of Texas Permian Basin on Monday in Odessa. This was a tough loss for us and we really had a break down defensively. Therefore, we knew that if we wanted to get back on a winning streak we would have to work much harder on defense. The UTPB game was definitely a controversial ending with the clock not starting, but it is like Coach Hearne told us after the game, we really should have never let it get to that point. On a positive note, I think it was good for us to be in a close game at the end and hopefully we will learn from that game and make it worth something.
We head to Denton on Monday to make up the game from over Christmas break, and then we are back at home against Eastern New Mexico on Wednesday to continue conference play. I appreciate everyone that came out last night and I know the rest of the team does too!! Go TexAnns!
