FOOTBALL: Unbeaten Burnet Next Foe for GHS

Gatesville continues its trek in District 13-4A this week, as the resurgent Hornets travel to Burnet this Friday night. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. at Bulldog Stadium. "It's another big game for us," said GHS coach Kyle Cooper. "Every game is a big one in our district." GHS (3-4 overall) is coming off a much-needed 38-20 win over Lampasas, a victory that evened the club's league record at 1-1 and put the Hornets in a 4-way tie along with Robinson, China Spring and La Vega. Meanwhile, Burnet has won six of its seven games this fall. The Bulldogs defeated Marble Falls (51-45), Fredericksburg (55-7), Waco University (51-21) and Taylor (43-13) in non-district, their only blemish a 40-16 second-week setback against Abilene Wylie. So far in 13-4A play, Burnet has downed China Spring (38-28) and Robinson (45-23). "They are a very good football team, no doubt about it," Cooper said.
