Theodore Bobcats Triumph in Spring Football Scrimmage
The Theodore Bobcats showcased their potential in a thrilling spring football scrimmage against Biloxi, emerging victorious with a 14-13 win. The match commenced with a notable completed pass from Crishon Overton to Crishawn Sharp, marking a key moment in the Bobcats’ offensive strategy.
The offense was bolstered by strong performances, particularly from Kendrick Able, who made significant contributions on the ground. Head Coach Steve Mask expressed optimism about the team’s offensive capabilities, noting the effectiveness of incorporating both passing and traditional running elements into their game plan. The game consisted of a half for varsity starters, followed by additional drives, while junior varsity players completed the remaining quarters.
After falling behind 13-0, the Bobcats rallied with two impressive scoring plays in the second quarter. Overton rushed for a 2-yard touchdown, followed by a 4-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Howard just before halftime. This resilience displayed the team’s fighting spirit, despite the absence of star linebacker JJ Bush, a rising recruit attracting attention from major programs like LSU and Arkansas.
The event also welcomed back former Bobcats’ head coach Eric Collier, who was honored during the coin toss. Collier, now an assistant at Biloxi, expressed gratitude for the community support, emphasizing the importance of family and local participation in high school sports.
Looking ahead, the Bobcats will face tough challenges as they open the season on the road against Baker and Spanish Fort. The excitement generated from this scrimmage hints at brighter days ahead for the Theodore Bobcats as they prepare for the 2025 season.
