Erath defense delivers when needed

Mon, 10/11/2021 - 3:50pm

ERATH - Offense, offense, and more offense. That is what usually comes up when one talks about the Erath Bobcats football team.
It is common to hear things like, “That Lynkon Romero kid can throw the football.”

They have now won four straight, including Friday night’s 35-24 thriller against the Kaplan Pirates.
