The 2023 football season for the Cisco Loboes stands at 0 and 4 after Jacksboro won a lopsided victory 51-0 on Friday night, September the 15th in Jacksboro. Cisco’s starting tailback, Gus Hart, was out and its biggest lineman Talon Bruner was injured and did not play the 2nd half. Hart has a bruised leg bone, and I haven’t heard about Bruner, who looked from the stands as if his leg was hurt. We also lost a starting guard, and #25 Cody Gayle has a broken thumb.
1st Quarter It appeared to be a repeat of the week before against Breckenridge. Cisco received the kickoff. The ball was moved from the Cisco 31 to the Tiger 37 by a punt after Cisco failed to move the ball. But a 15 yard penalty was accessed and the ball was moved to the 44 yard line. Jacksboro ran up the middle for a 44 yard TD and made the 2 points—it was 8 to 0 their favor. The ensuing kickoff gave the Loboes the ball on their 25 yd ln.
