Looking sdrawkcab (backwards, backwards) to WEEK SIX Game of the Week
Gordon at RICHLAND SPRINGS
I don't have a favorite team as I follow roughly 135 Six-Man teams. I certainly wish
no harm on any team. I had a gut feeling that Gordon just might beat RICHLAND
SPRINGS and if and I do mean if, RICHLAND SPRINGS got beat on their home field, I wanted to be there.
Nothing against the Coyotes, it was strictly from the historical nature of the event had it
happened. I might be wrong but I think the last time a team beat RICHLAND SPRINGS
at home was back in 2001. 2001!!! That is why I said it would be historical IF they lost at home.
The honest truth is the Coyotes have only been beaten SEVEN time since that home
loss in 2001. They have FIVE UNDEFEATED YEARS since 2001 six if you count their 7
wins against no losses this season.
What the heck. Let' s go back one more time all the way to 2000.
2000 7-3
2001 13-2
2002 12-1
2003 13-1
2004 15-0
2005 13-1
2006 14-0
2007 14-0
2008 10-1
2009 11-2
2010 15-0
2011 15-0
2012 7-0
Just for the record from 2000 through 7 games this season the RICHLAND SPRINGS
COYOTES ARE 159-11. Between 2004 and 2005 they had a 28 game winning streak.
Between 2006 and 2008 they had a 38 game winning streak and between 2010
and now they are working on a 37 game winning streak if my numbers are correct.
Impressive! No, IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!

BTW, RICHLAND SPRINGS defeated Gordon last Friday night by the score of 92-44.
The game was tied 38-38 with 5:19 left in the 2nd Quarter. Gordon entered the game
with a couple of injuries and lost four more during this game. If and buts.......RICHLAND
SPRINGS WON 92-44 with 12 men of steel suited up.

LANCE MORRIS WATCH
WEEK FIVE, as you will recall, Lance rushed 18 times for 252 yards against Paducah giving him the All-Time Career Rushing mark in Six-Man football at 10476 yards.

WEEK SIX in a 52-0 half time win against Fort Davis Lance rushed 9 times for 190
yards adding to his career mark. The record now stands at 10666 yards leaving Lance

SIDEBAR

Had the distinct pleasure of meeting up with my good friend Leman Saunders and his
fiancé this week. Leman gave me a copy of the book Six-Man Football The Streamlined
Game written by Stephen Epler the originator of Six-Man football. It was written in 1938
and is very interesting. Thank you Leman!!
