Parkview led 12-11 after one period and 26-19 at the break. Aurora pulled to within five by the end of the third, trailing 33-28. And then in the fourth period they trailed by as few as four and had a number of chances to get closer, but the wear of playing four games in four days took its toll. Lakin Waggoner led Aurora with 11 points, while Shanie Siegrist added 8 and Baylee Hilton 5. The Lady Houns are now 4-9 on the season and will next play on January 3, at home against Neosho. rodger | December 30, 2012 at 12:05 am | Categories: Basketball, Featured, Girl's | URL: http://wp.me/p2IbYC-cK Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

Jordan Hall, who finished the game with a team=high 16 points, scored seven crucial points in the third. The lead grew to 16 by the final buzzer, as Aurora displayed solid free-throw shooting in the final stanza, going 12 of 14.

Aurora's offense had trouble putting the ball in the basket and Marionville had too many offensive rebounds in the first quarter and that helped the Lady Comets build a 10-4 lead after one period. Jordan Hall scored the Lady Houn's first four points of the second quarter to keep Aurora close, 12-8, but Marionville stretched the lead to as many as 10 in the quarter. A feisty Aurora defense got the Lady Houn's back to within four at the breat, 22-18. After cutting the deficit to just two points early in the third quarter, Marionville went on a decisive 8-0 run to stop Aurora's push and, thus, solidfy the third quarter and give the Lady Comets a 32-27 lead after three. Josie Young of Marionville took over in the fourth, scoring eight of her team's 10 fourth quarter points, and that would give the Lady Comets the win, 42-33. Hall led Aurora, now 2-8, with 11 points, while Shania Siegrist, Baylee Hilton and Rachel Parker each tallied six. rodger | December 27, 2012 at 9:58 am | Categories: Basketball, Featured, Girl's | URL: http://wp.me/p2IbYC-cy Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

Aurora-----3-----0-----0----13 16
Lamar-------0----20----6----15 41
Game Summary
Auroratraveled to Lamar on October 19th desperately trying to get off of a 5 game skid. Their task was made more difficult by facing an opponent coming off of a Class 2A State Championship and also enjoying a 5 game winning streak.
Aurora got things going in the right direction early by receiving the opening kickoff and driving into Lamar territory before stalling out. Cody Coatney kicked a 30 yard field goal to put the Houns' up 3-0. The Dawgs defense would stiffen throughout the first quarter as Aurora finished it with a 3-0 lead.
The second quarter saw the Houns' hopes of a victory take a turn for the worst as Lamar would score 3 times to pull ahead of the Houns by a score of 20-3 at the half. Lamar came out in the 3rd quarter and tacked on another score to lead 26-3 after 3 quarters. The Dawgs got in on the scoring on a Brad Marlar 1 yard touchdown run and an Everett Basham 51 yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, but Lamar scored 2 touchdowns of their own to pull away by a final score of 41-16.

Cassville- ----14---14----7----8 43
Aurora---------0-----7----0----0 7
Game Summary
On a misty, foggy evening the Aurora Houn Dawgs took on the undefeated Cassville Wildcats at Kelley Field. The weather didn't get any better throughout the night and the dreariness of the night reflected in the results on the field for the Houns' as well. Cassville jumped on Aurora early 21-0 and finished the night strong to spoil Senior Night for the Dawgs. The loss dropped the Houns's to 3-5 overall as well as a 2-4 mark in Big 8 Conference play.
Cassville got the scoring started on a Brent Thompson 1 yard run. Cassville score twice more before the Houns' got into the end zone on scoring plays by Hayden Prater and Ty Craig. Aurora kept getting pinned deep in their own territory throughout the night, but on their fourth drive, Clayton Sumners found Andrew Parker with a 42 yard pass and catch to get them down to the 1yard line. Everett Basham found paydirt on the next play and Aurora was alive and kicking down 21-7. However, Garrett Kirk had a big 48 yard return after fumbling the kickoff to get Cassville back into the swing. A few plays later, he would find the end zone on a 34 yard touchdown pass thrown by his brother, Gabe. Cassville dominated the rest of the evening en route to a 43-7.

Aurora vs. Mt. Vernon (BELL BOWL)

Big 8 Conference Football Aurora vs. Mt. Vernon Bell Bowl 2012
October 5, 2012
Aurora ----0-----0----7----7 14
Mt. Vernon---------7-----7----0----6 20
Game Summary
Aurora traveled to Mt. Vernon for the 2012 version of the Bell Bowl. The Houn Dawgs were coming off of a 24-8 victory in last year's game, but could not extend that streak to 2 straight as they lost to the Mountaineers 20-14.
The game was definitely a tale of two halves. Mt. Vernon came out and racked up 233 yards of offense in the first half scoring early in the first quarter on an Alex Hausman touchdown pass to Zane Phillips. Later in the second quarter, Devan Morris added to the Mt. Vernon lead by scoring a 10 yard touchdown run. Mt. Vernon entered the half up by a score of 14-0. Aurora could only muster 52 yards of offense in the first half and badly needed to come out and change that statistic in order to get back in the game.
The Houns' came out in the 3rd quarter and seemed to do just that. Aided by a second wind and 119 of rushing offense from Everett Basham, the Houns outgained the Mountaineers by over 100 yards. Basham would score Aurora's first touchdown on a 27 yard run. At the end of 3 quarters, the score stood at Mt. Vernon 14, Aurora 7.
Bashamscored again early in the 4th quarter to tie up the game, however, momentum would quickly swing back into Mt. Vernon's as Shane Williams took the air out of the Dawgs with a 59 yard touchdown run. The extra point failed and gave Aurora a chance. Aurora's next drive stalled and as the Mountaineers tried to run out the clock, a third down passed sailed and was intercepted by Andrew Parker for 25 yards. The Dawgs came down to their last chance with 3 minutes left and only down 6. Aurora came up short on fourth down and Mt. Vernon was able to run out the clock and win the Bell Bowl 20-14.

Non-Conference Football
Aurora--------------0-----14----7----7 28
Rogersville--------14-----19----0----6 39
Game Summary
The Rogersville Wildcats have been struggling out of the gate this season with a 1-4 record. Perhaps they lost too many key players from last year's State Championship run, but they shook off the cobwebs early to jump on top of the Houns' 21-0 before Aurora could get themselves going. Aurora eventually turned up the heat on offense but it was too little too late as Rogersville rediscovered their swagger and were victorious at Kelley Field by the score of 39-28.
In the first quarter, Rogersville received the kickoff and passed their way down the field 68 yards in 10 plays to go up 7-0. Aurora fumbled on their first possession, giving Rogersville great field position as they scored on a Cody Chaney 10 yard TD run to go up 14-0.
Rogersville added a third touchdown in the second quarter to make it 21-0, but Clayton Sumners would get the Dawgs on the scoreboard with a 31 yard touchdown run. Rogersville answered with a score of their own but momentum shifted to the Houns' before the half as Andrew Parker caught an 8 yard touchdown pass as time expired. Halftime score was 33-14 in favor of Rogersville.
Aurora's defense stiffened in the third quarter and stopped the Wildcats from scoring. Everett Basham caught an 11 yard touchdown pass from Sumners to inch the Dawgs closer 33-21. With time running out in the 4th, Sumners tossed his third touchdown pass of the game to Andrew Parker to get the Dawgs within striking distance 33-28. However, an onside kick was unsuccessful and Rogersville shook off their sluggishness to get in the end zone and dash Aurora's hope of a comeback. Final score 39-28 Rogersville.
Clayton Sumners threw for 260 yards and 3 touchdowns while rushing for 100 yards and another score. Andrew Parker caught 8 passes for 106 yards and 2 scores.

Game Summary
The Aurora Houn' Dawgs scheduled Monett for their homecoming game, but didn't get the happy result for the Alumni and Aurora community as the Monett Cubs left town with a 21-0 victory. Coming into the game, this was a matchup of Big 8 contenders. Monett entered the game with a 3-1 record and Aurora was also 3-1 and ranked #9 in the State.

After the first quarter, the Cubs led 7-0.
Both teams stiffened their defenses and shut each other out in the second quarter. However, before the end of the quarter, Aurora had a big pass play from Clayton Sumners to Everett Basham for 38 yards. This put Aurora inside the 10 with under 10 seconds to go. Sumners passed to Kurt Hadlow, who was tackled on the 2 yard line before he could score which left the score at 7-0 in favor of Monett going into the half.
The third quarter saw the Houn' Dawgs kickoff to the Cubs and held them to 3 plays and a punt. However, a mistake on punt coverage allowed the Cubs to get the ball back inside Houn' Dawg territory. The Dawgs kept them out of the end zone. But Monett controlled the clock and the ball throughout the third quarter. Aurora only ran 8 plays compared to Monett's 20. The Cubs found the endzone late in the 3rd quarter on a 5 yard Aaron Hall TD run to go up 13-0.

Seneca ----0-----7----0----8 15

Game Summary
The Houn Dawgs met the Seneca Indians Friday night at Kelley Field. The game was delayed for an hour due to heavy rain and thunderstorms in the area. However, Aurora came out ready and matched the Indians physically and jumped out to an early 14-0 lead and never looked back en route to a 27-15 victory.
In the first quarter Seneca chose to receive the opening kickoff. But on the third play from scrimmage, the Seneca quarterback threw an interception to Everett Basham. The Houn's capitalized on the mistake and took a 7-0 lead on Basham's first touchdown run of the night. Both teams traded possessions in the first quarter, but Aurora made some more noise at the end of the quarter in the form of a William Blankenship 1 yard TD run.
The Indians turned the tide in the second quarter by adding a touchdown of their own in the form of a Payton Rawlins 2 yard quarterback sneak. At the half, the score rested at 14-7 in favor of the Houns'.
The third quarter saw the Dawgs get on the board again with another Everett Basham touchdown. Seneca started their drive and was making progress until a Clayton Sumners blitz forced the quarterback into throwing his second interception, this time to Kurt Hadlow. The Houns would keep Seneca out of the endzone for the rest of the 3rd quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Aurora was able to cause enough havoc to Seneca as Chad Hughes and Josh McCulloch both registered sacks to hold the Indians down. Everett Basham scored the final Aurora touchdown and the Houns' were able to withstand a late Seneca touchdown to seal the victory 27-15. This game snaps an 8 year losing streak to the Indians.
