Dont go by the score as this was a punch counter punch football game. Ct did everything needed to pull the upset of a lifetime except letting Louisa make 5 enormously large game changing plays. First on a long 4th down play on opening series for Louisa, they opt to go and Ct bitting all the way looking for run, allows a pass comoletion dc own to the 2 yard line ans score next play. Not to be undone, Ct follows with 60 yard TD by White. Ct tips a pass and its intercepted and run back for a TD. Defensive battle rest of first half as each team was able to gain some yardage but kept gettibg stopped. Second half Ct gets a fumble at Louisa 19 yardline and only moves about 6 yards a penalty hurt so they go for Field goal from about 30 yards that is blocked by Bell I think. Louisa punts after a short drive. Ct then has to punt ,buy punt is blocked and Luisa has it deep inside redzone, 3-4 plays later Bell muscles way in for score. Ct then drives to the Louisa 5 yardline where the defense for Louisa stood up agian. Ct ops for field goal from 20 yards that Walen gets in on and blocks ugh! Luisa next drive not going well at all, fumble the ball, but Ct is not able to get on it. Walen corrals it, somehoe gets by two defenders deep in back field, finds a 2 foot hole, squirts through and goes for a 58 yard score that takes the air out of Ct. Late 4th quarter now and Ct driving agian but shoot themselves in the foot agian. Louisa gets it back with about 7mins to go up by 14. Ct holds gets ball back but drive stalls and Luiss gets it back with about 2 min or so left, Cougars send in a bunch of youngsters and Luisa scores one final time with about 20 seconds left on the clock. Louisa made huge plays that were absolutely needed or thier season would have surely ended in upset agony. Completly different game from the opener in August. They hadem on the ropes, but more Senior laden team on both sides of the bsll refused to let Louisa lose tonight. Congrats to Louisa and good luck next week. Ct returns a hell of a team next season with probably one of the best if not the best backfields in Conference 4 next year. We also have a stud Freshman linebacker who is 6-1 220 ish that is getting strong looks from several schools in Div1 and Div 2 thst will stsrt as a Soph. Probably should hsve played as a Fresman on varsity. Agian, congrats Louisa and coach Fischer, good luck to rest of the year. We will ser you at the Den in August!

Yes, the game was much closer than the final score indicated. Courtland is a talented and well coached team. Kudos to the visiting fans who made some noise in the Jungle.

Shoutout to the Cougars and Coach Hall! What a different team than week 1. I know everyone loves blowouts but I’m glad the Lions got tested tonight. Hopefully it will serve them well next week. Very excited to head to Monacan for what should be an excellent football game next week.

@gtidepride will you be there? Be good to say hello.

@courtlandcougars1987 your team fought hard tonight. Sucks to lose but you are a much improved team. Great effort!
