East View Plays Westlake Tough In Season Opener By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor

Austin Westlake can be an intimidating opponent in volleyball. The Chaps are ranked No. 5 in the state in Class 6A, listed No. 1 in the Austin American-Statesman's area preseason assessment, and have enough height (six players taller than 6 feet) and lengthy limber levers to play smash mouth. Oh, don't forget coach Al Bennett, a former minor league hockey player, who has won nearly 1,000 matches in his career and four state titles at Westlake. The Chaps were the season-opening opponent for East View this past Monday night at Patriots Gym as they made their debut under new head coach Kara Del Bosque. But East View, which struggled last season, didn't seem intimidated by Westlake's gaudy rep. The Chaps prevailed 3-0 (25-23, 25-19, 25-14) in the varsity match, but at several points the Patriots were facing the visitors eye-to-eye and point-to-point. "We have a lot of work to do," Del Bosque said after the match. "I told the girls that they shouldn't be disheartened. They never let down." The competiveness by East View started early in the evening as the Patriots' took the opening set of the JV match 25-21 before the Chaps rebounded to win the best-ofthree contest 25-22 and 25-21. The Patriots were scheduled to be back on their homer court again Tuesday as they faced 6A Killeen (in a match that finished after The Advocate's deadline). After facing the Kangaroos, the Patriots will play in the 28-team Wimberley Tex Fest, which features competition in six pools on Friday that will determine the lineup for bracket play on Saturday. Twelve teams will advance to the gold bracket, and eight each to the silver and bronze brackets. The championship match in the gold

bracket is scheduled for 2 p.m. East View will compete in Pool 2 and play their four pool matches in Bridges Gym No. 2. The Patriots will face Ingram Tom Moore at 9 a.m., Blanco at noon, Lampasas at 3 p.m. and Burnet at 5 p.m. The other teams in the tournament by pool: Pool 1— Kerrville Tivy, Boerne Geneva, Uvalde, Smithville and Kaufman. Pool 3— Canyon Lake, Cuero, Caddo Mills, Marion and Johnson City, Pool 4—Wimberley, Marble Falls, Hondo, Llano and Hardin. Pool 5—Bastrop, Austin Regents, Harper and Quinland Ford. Pool 6—Salado, Laredo United, Hamshire-Fannett and Lockhart. After the tournament, East View will continue its non-district schedule against 6A Vista Ridge at home at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16. In Monday's match, 6-foot-4 junior Holly Campbell, a nationally ranked middle blocker, and junior outside hitter Madi Baptiste were key performers on Westlake's 19-player active roster. Campbell led the Chaps with seven kills and three aces. Bennett substituted freely throughout the match. On the East View side of the stats sheet, junior Rachel Wisian had nine kills and five total blocks (including three solos). Senior Madison Heald made 22 assists, made four aces, and found the range on four kills. Senior Annie Burke added seven kills, and junior Maggie Schlueter topped the defense with four digs. As a team, the Patriots hit .181 for the match, including a .276 in the first set. East View jumped to an 8-2 lead in the opening set with a run that included two aces by Heald and one by junior Katie Smith. That six-point margin was the largest lead in the first set. The Patriots were down just 24-23 when Campbell closed out East View cont. on B6

Richardson Has Recipe For Success By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor

Chances are that Georgetown volleyball coach Jenny Richardson will never run a traditional finishing school for young ladies. Her idea of a finishing school would be one in which she successfully communicates qualities needed to close out victories and advance her girls to the UIL season-ending cotillion. At Saturday's Meet the Eagles Night funds and spirit raiser, Richardson listed five points of emphasis for the development of individuals and ultimately for the team. Some could easily have come from a finishing school developmental manual, but at the end of the team presentation before the silent and live auctions and raffles, there was a touch of Richardson's fiery competitive drive. She called Kelli Escover, one of 10 returnees from last season’s playoff team, to the microphone for a final comment— Lady Eagles cont. on B7

Dean Happy With First GHS Drill By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor

Georgetown opened summer football drills this past Monday and veteran head coach Jason Dean seemed pleased with the state of his program—numbers, condition and retention from spring ball. The Eagles, who took the 18 days of contact drills in the spring, worked without pads on Monday through Thursday before starting contact work early Friday morning that will feature some work in which the No. 1 offense will square off with the No. 1 defense. "It won't be a real scrimmage," Dean said of the Friday practice, "but there will be situations where the top units face each other." Saturday's schedule will include a morning workout dedicated to the kicking game and the varsity's annual media day at 6 p.m. at the GISD Athletic Complex. This coming week, Georgetown will work out on Monday through Thursday and then face their annual varsity scrimmage with Austin SFA at 7 p.m. Friday at House Park in Austin. The Eagles will open the regular season against Fort Worth Brewer at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at McLane Stadium in Waco. "I think we were right at 220 to 225 players today and that probably will climb to about 235," Dean said after both the varsity/ junior varsity and talent pools had worked out. "We had 69 freshman, and that's with seven to 10 missing at

the current time. We'll have close to 235 kids in the program. We probably still have some kids on vacation. "As far as the upper classmen, I didn't notice anybody that wasn't here today. We had a couple younger kids who decided for various reasons not to come back to the program, and that's fine."

As for conditioning, Dean said, "Great, really, for the first day. We had a really good summer of conditioning. We'll continue to work on that area over the next two weeks." As for retention, Dean said the Eagles do things a little different. "We install our offense and defense in the spring

and then go back to ground zero on the first day of practice. We start putting things back in with the coaches doing it at a much more rapid rate and that's what we want." Asked about the scrimmage with SFA, Dean answered, "We want to play good defense. We're going to be doing some things

differently in trying to work more effectively against spread offenses. Austin High gives us a good opponent in that area since they made themselves a team to be reckoned with in recent seasons, using the spread. "Also, we want our offensive line to be physical. That's a good sign on how the team is progressing."

The JV and freshman scrimmages with SFA will precede the varsity session and also be at House Park. The Freshman Blue and White will work at 5 p.m. with the JV Silver and Blue at 5:30 p.m. The annual Meet the Eagles Night fund raiser will be held at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 20.

East View To Scrimmage Manor on Friday

Davies Expects Mustangs To Give Patriots Major Test In Scrimmage By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor

The start of school may be almost two weeks in the future, but Rob Davies and his East View Patriots face their first test of the year—a scrimmage with Class 6A Manor with varsity competition expected to erupt sometime around 9 a.m. in the Mustangs' corral. It will be the first of two scrimmages for East View prior to their regular-season opener with Buda Hays at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 26, at the GISD Athletic Complex. The Patriots will face their second preseason test on Friday, Aug. 19, when they entertain former district rival Marble Falls at about 7:15 p.m. at the GISD Athletic Complex. Although, the Patriots will be playing an opponent on Friday, Davies said that the emphasis for East View will be on themselves. "It's important that we get better as a football team," Davies said. "We want to be consistent. We want our offense to work as efficiently as possible and our defense to get after it." In Manor, East View, which will have had six days in pads prior to the scrim-

mage, will be facing a team that was elevated from 5A to 6A in the most-recent UIL realignment. The Mustangs, who will be making their debut under new coach Jimmie Mitchell, are picked second and third behind Austin Bowie in District 14-6A, pending your choice of preseason magazine. Davies also pointed out that Manor would be a good test for the Patriots because of its speed—something East View will encounter in both District 19-5A and Region III-5A. The Mustangs do own one of the top individual talents in their district in wide receiver Camryn Harrison, a burner with 4.5 credentials in the 40-yard dash. Dave Campbell's Texas Football named him the preseason offensive MVP in 146A. Asked about the Patriots' first week of practice, Davies answered, "I've been really pleased. We're getting outstanding effort and the kids have shown tremendous retention from what we put inoffensively and defensively in the spring. They have a desire to play good football and they are putting in the work to reach that goal." Patriots cont. on B4

PATRIOTS FROM PAGE B3 So far, the depth-thin Patriots have avoided the injury bug. "We've got some strains and tweaked ankles, but we're pretty healthy after the first week. With our depth, we're getting used to taking of our bodies, getting work done and doing it as efficiently as possible. We need to make sure we're

healthy on Friday nights." With players reporting to practice after being out of town at the start of workouts on Monday, Aug. 1, starting to return to the fold, Davies expects approximately 160 players to be hand to hand to man positions on the Patriots' four teams—varsity, JV and two freshman teams.

Individually, Davies continued to point to senior quarterback Cameron Nowell. "I continue to be impressed with Cameron in many ways," Davies said. "In addition to his play on the field, his leadership skills and work ethic are outstanding." Davies also mentioned

junior running back Torrie Davis saying, "He's doing everything at the best of his ability and he's always going 100 miles per hour." The early performances by four senior offensive linemen also drew praise from Davies—guard Alan Velasquez, center Ronnie Bailey and tackles Leo Ramirez and Cruz Salazar.

He adds there is a sophomore who may step in and complete the interior. Defensively, Davies has liked the performance of senior outside linebacker Chris Mata and two-way senior Austin Naiser, a defensive end and fullback. Sub-varsity games in the Manor scrimmage are scheduled to begin at 8 a.m.

Friday. This week, the Patriots were set to work their regular morning hours on Monday and Tuesday, but had to move the start up to 5 a.m. and work shorter days on Wednesday and Thursday because of the GISD convocation on Wednesday and in-service duties on Thursday.

19-5A FROM PAGE B4

East View and Georgetown will host the 16-school GISD Team Tennis Tournament on Friday and Saturday at several locations, including the Minzenmayer Tennis Center at GHS, the Patriot Tennis Center at East View, and courts at Berry Creek, Tippit, Benold and Forbes, along with Leander ISD neighbors Vista Ridge and Rouse. The tournament will be the season opener for coach Jeffrey Kurnik's Patriots. Coach Suzanne Isbell's Eagles began their regular season on Wednesday with a dual match at Round Rock. Friday's 9 a.m. opening round matches (in bracket order) will pair Marble Falls against Vista Ridge, Cedar Park against San Marcos at Tippit, Groesbeck against Rouse, Killeen against Pflugerville Connally at Berry Creek, Cedar Ridge against Georgetown,

Leander against College Station at Benold, Liberty Hill against Temple at Forbes and Dripping Springs at East View. Pending the outcome of their first-round matches, GHS will face either Leander or College Station in the championship or consolation quarterfinals, and East View will go against either Liberty Hill or Temple. The championship and consolation quarterfinals are set for 1:30 p.m. Friday with third-round matches at 9 a.m. on Saturday and final-round matches at 1:30 p.m. All teams are guaranteed two matches a day with places one through 16 being determined. Vista Ridge, Rouse, East View and Georgetown are host sites and will remain at home for all four rounds of the tournament. Isbell's Eagles were to complete varsity tryouts this past Tuesday afternoon. According to the East View

tennis website, Kurnik completed tryouts prior to the end of school and announced his rosters (see below). In action this coming week after the tournament, GHS will play at Lake Travis in a dual match at 3 p.m. on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, Dripping Springs is scheduled to visit East View for a 9 a.m. dual match.

In the second set, East View trailed 10-7 when Westlake ran off five consecutive points, including two kills by Freddie Paulson, and nine of the next 10 to take a 20-8 lead. However, the Patriots rallied with eight of the next 10 to pull to within 22-16 and eventually reduce the margin to five points at 24-19 before the Chaps scored the deciding point. Westlake followed a somewhat familiar pattern in the final set, but this time the Chaps never let the Patriots back into serious contention, maintaining a double-digit lead. After Wisian's block pulled East View within three points at 11-8, Westlake scored 10 consecutive points to

take a 21-8 advantage. The Patriots scored six of the final 10 points, but Maddie Naumann scored three of the final four for Westlake to cement the victory.

LADY EAGLES FROM PAGE B1 one that would make the traditional finishing school mistress blanch before knuckle-rapping time. Escover wasted no works, saying the Lady Eagles wanted to "kick butt and take names." One got the idea that the first two words were much more important than the last two. Richardson, who believes that character plays a key role in on-court success, listed the five qualities for her players on all levels of the program that will put them in position to "make good choices" —such as accomplishing their personal and team goals. The qualities were: 1. Be obnoxious (in a positive way). 2. Treat each other with respect. 3. Good character. 4. Stress academic accomplishment. 5. Be disciplined. Turning to on-court matters, Richardson gave her team mixed reviews for its five scrimmage matches this past Friday and Saturday as the Lady Eagles were tested by district rival Cedar Park, Round Rock Westwood, Buda Hays, Pflugerville Hendrickson and Vandegrift. "In Saturday's scrimmages (with Hendrickson and Vandegrift) we went from a four on a scale of 10 to six," Richardson said. "It was like night and day. That's a big jump—two points. Last week was a very difficult week for the players both mentally and physically with the tryouts and five scrimmages matches in two days." The Lady Eagles faced Hendrickson again on the road Tuesday night in their season opener (which ended after the Advocate's deadline). GHS then faced the Westwood Showcase, a three-day event with 28 teams.

Austin Optimistic As SU Opens Football Practice Southwestern University head football coach Joe Austin expected 122 players to report this past Tuesday for the opening of practice on Thursday.

SU, which was 2-8 last season with an 0-3 conference mark, and nationally ranked Texas Lutheran will be moving to the American Southwest Conference in football in 2017. "Because we're finally up to full speed, we're expecting to have a good season," Austin continued. "Last year, we had six fourth-quarter leads and we're expecting to finish those games now."

The Pirates will open their 10game schedule at home against future ASC rival Hardin-Simmons at 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, at the GISD Athletic Complex. In discussing prospects for the upcoming season, Austin said, "We have four truly outstanding defensive players that are as good as anyone else in Division III football has— our defensive ends Justin Broussard and Brandon Fleischmann and our corner backs—Nik Kelly and Deejay Johnson. "On offense we're anchored by wide receiver Matt Gillen. Matt has missed some games over the years, but when he plays he averages about a touchdown per game. We're a lot better when he's in the lineup." The Pirates will work out at their
