Abbeville able to beat Erath with help of defense

On Friday, during a match between the Abbeville Wildcats and the Erath Bobcats, a 5-foot tall freshman defensive back named Joseph Davis made the biggest play of his young life.
He took the ball from an Erath receiver’s hands deep in the endzone with 11 minutes to play, preventing Erath from scoring and possibly tying the game. This gave Abbeville the football and a ton of momentum on offense. As a result, Abbeville drove 80 yards in five minutes and scored, securing a huge district 20-12 win. Abbeville’s overall record improves to 6-2, while Erath’s falls to 1-7.
