So we were trying to get it to the receivers and let them make something happen. In between, Guidugli and junior Eamon Mueller were the runners. If Highlands thought Owensboro would roll over, the Red Devils dispelled that notion the first time they touched the ball. Junior Brandon Hanley bobbled the kickoff, but he then took it 63 yards to the Highlands 16. Four plays later, junior Bo Smith plunged in from a yard out, and sophomore Logan Johnson's kick gave the Red Devils their 7-6 lead.
Fans cheer for the Bluebirds.
They gave me all sorts of time back there. Bo Smith led the Red Devils with 1,349 rushing yards, and he was Owensboro's best player Saturday. After exchanging possessions, Smith started left and cut back right. Mulroney finished with seven catchers for 135 yards. I got the chance to recover it and put it across the goal line.
