ReplyDeleteThis game was much more lopsided than the score indicates.
ReplyDeleteCould we be on our way back to the glory days of Rattler football when we'd put up 40 points before halftime...even so, it's still good to see them performing well on all cylinders!!
ReplyDeleteGood job Rattler football players, Coach Taylor and staff. Keep bringing it on!
ReplyDeleteGod job. Keep up the hard work, it pays.
ReplyDeleteThere were more Rattlers at the game than Bison. The team looked really good.
