Unlucky streak

 OVFL: Halton Cowboys show improvement but extend losing streak. 

The Halton Cowboys were eager to start the second half of the season with a bang against the Hamilton Ironmen.

According to Cowboys Head Coach Jon Kronemeyer, the team had a productive bye week as they were able to improve upon their struggling offense by implementing a new scheme with new starting quarterback Todd Hoover.

Like the Cowboys, the Ironmen have also been under-achievers this season.  Thus far,  the Ironmen are 2-3 this season and have struggled against the league’s top-tier teams.

The highlight of the game for the Cowboys was the new offensive scheme that racked up a total of 239 yards through the air – a season high for the Cowboys.

Halton was also able to score an early touchdown through the air as Hoover connected with Malcolm Stokx.  The receiver reached a Cowboys season high in receiving with 122 yards.

The Ironmen proved to be to much for the Cowboys to handle, as the team scored a pair of touchdowns and added a field goal.

Although this marks the 5th consecutive loss for the Cowboys,  the team put forth their best performance to date and recorded their best score differential this season, 18-7.

Halton plays the Niagara Spears at home next week.  Game time is at 7:00pm.
