FOOTBALL: GHS Hosting Robinson in 13-4A Bout

Gatesville will make its final appearance in front of the home folks Friday night, as the Hornets host Robinson in a District 13-4A showdown. Kickoff for GHS' home finale is set for 7:30 p.m. at McKamie Stadium in the special Senior Night and Black-Out Night game. The Hornets, who travel to China Spring next week to finish the regular season, are still in the hunt for a playoff berth and a win Friday would increase those chances. "It's a big game, just like all of the games in 13-4A," said GHS coach Kyle Cooper. "The playoff scenario is going to go down to the very last week of the season and could still involve every team in our district." Robinson, which started the season with a four-game winning streak, is 6-2 overall and 2-1 in league play. The Rockets own victories over Lampasas (40-14) and China Spring (42-21), while the lone district setback was a 45-23 loss against league-leading Burnet. "They are very talented all over the field," said Cooper. "They have a Division I - type running back and a lot of athletes and size to go with him." Gatesville (3-5 overall) is coming off last week's 57-0 defeat at Burnet. The loss left GHS at 1-2 in district play - its win coming against Lampasas (38-20) and other loss to La Vega (42-21). "We have to regroup from last week's loss, put that beside us and play the way we are capable," added Cooper. The top four teams from each district will earn postseason berths. Burnet leads the 13-4A standings at 3-0, Robinson and La Vega are 2-1, Gatesville and China Spring 1-2, Lampasas 0-3.
