It's the Augie McCulley show...

Every now and then, the writing gods give us a break. I entered Friday night knowing no matter what happened, I was writing about Hennessey’s Augie McCulley.

He’s playing with a broken left elbow…yes, a broken left elbow. It’s an easy story to write. But what I didnt’ expect was for him to rush for more than 200 yards again and score three times in the second half to give Hennessey a 30-21 win against Hominy.

Hennessey was too cute in the first half as McCulley only had 10 carries and two of those resulted in lost fumbles. In fact, the Eagles had four TOs in the first half.

It felt like deja vu with last year’s quarterfinal game against Prague. But only down 21-6 at half through all that, Hennessey righted its ship.

And got simple.

Hennessey lined up in the HOG formation with McCulley spear-heading the attack. None too shabby. Why get cute when simple is effective.

McCulley didn’t bust one the entire game. His longest rush wasn’t for more than 30 yards but it was the consistent pounding that eventually did the Bucks in.
