Head Coach David Matlock was undecided at the beginning of the season as to the potential this team had. After seven games he now has a very good idea, as the Hoppers have out-distanced all comers, standing with a perfect 7-0 record. Working to balance the attack, passing was the name of the game. 97 passing yards on four receptions and one touchdown augmented the potent rushing attack. #39 Caleb Russell caught the 30 yard touchdown pass. The Hoppers rolled, amassing 250 yards rushing on 27 carries for five touchdowns and four passes for 97 yards and one touchdown; total offense was 347 yards. A three quarter game, with the score of 40-6, the Loudon Hoppers (7-0) were victorious.
