Caldwell starts slow, falls to La Grange 46-30

The Caldwell Hornets had a slow start last Friday against La Grange and were unable to rally in a 46-30 home loss. Caldwell trailed 12-1 in the first quarter and 24-9 at halftime before settling down with some good defensive play in the second half.

SPORTS CORNER

CLOSE PREDICTION -- I picked the Philadelphia Eagles to whip up on the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 31-17, and darn nearly got the final score of 31-7 exactly right. The only problem is the 49ers didn’t show up. Only able to score a single touchdown, they may as well have stayed home.

SPORTS CORNER

BY SLOAN PREUSS TERRIBLE OUTING -- The Dallas Cowboys collapsed in the playoffs once again. This time, it was a dismal showing in an embarrassing 19-12 loss to the San Franciso 49ers, who are now headed to the NFC championship game. Simply put, I’m not impressed with the Cowboys, but Stephen A.
