The Longhorns, now 3-4, after losing their Homecoming week game to Ladue 27-13, are visiting Clayton High School (4-3) and look to continue the trend of winning their visiting games. The Longhorns are 3-0 when playing away games.

“We need to put last week’s game behind us, if we can do that successfully I think we can upset the home crowd like we’ve done in the past this season. It’s just going to come down to which team wants it more,” senior Landon Creemons said.

Senior wide receiver Bobby Connor returns to the field this week after being sidelined by a broken foot for the past four weeks. Connor who is one of the Longhorns go-to receivers the first two weeks of the season, hopes to resume his role and finish out the rest of the season healthy.

“I’ve been doing extensive rehab for my foot and it feel much better. As a precaution for Saturday’s game my foot will be taped up for extra support. Last week I was running routes with no pads and doing some conditioning to help strengthen my foot, and will be fully practicing this week. I am very excited to get back on the field with my teammates and hopefully I can help the cause for the much needed win this week,” senior Bobby Connor said.

Clayton has lost two straight games, both to teams that also have beaten the Longhorns. However this season the Greyhounds are also 3-0 at home.

“If we come out of the gate running, I think we can run away with this game. With that being said we need to have a good week of practice and go through our drills with beating Clayton this Saturday being our driving force to work harder,” junior Jack Martin said.

This week’s game will be played on Saturday at 12 p.m.. This will be the first Saturday game the Longhorns will be playing.

“This week’s game will be on Saturday afternoon, I think this will affect Clayton’s student fan base negatively, which is just another factor that’s in our favor for this week’s game.”
