The head coach put the ball in his hands , called his number when it counted the most on third down to secure the game late in the 4th, and —Collins came through big time on a 3rd down run.
The Cougars beat the raining state champions in Denton Ryan who played one heck of a great game and lead a serious come back in the second half, but unfortunately the three turn overs really hurt them in the first half and they were not able to answer recuperate or answer back with points.
Junior running back Kalib Hicks and wide reciever Austin Jordan did not let that Raider offense go down with out a fight, responding back to the panthers making the game a very close one down to the wire in the 4th quarter.
