The North Callaway Thunderbirds haven't been punctual with their play at the outset of the 2012 season, and that's wearing thin on head coach Mike Emmons.
Stalled by another tardy start, and compounded by another extraordinary performance from Dallas Peoples, North Callaway stumbled to 0-2 on the season after Friday night's 40-20 loss to the state-ranked Cardinals. The victory allowed Tipton - ranked No. 5 in Class 1 - to extend its remarkable regular-season winning streak to 61 games.
