Pirates Plunder Trinity, 48-0 By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor
After three seasons of sailing the collegiate football seas—and usually being the plundered—Southwestern's Pirates have become quite salty in their fourth voyage. The cannons appear to have plenty of power and shell, the treasure chest contains two conference victories, and the men charged with repelling boarding attempts have their eye patches screwed on tightly and are swinging their
swords with authority. This past Saturday in San Antonio, the Pirates gave their second consecutive showing of their revised identity by sacking the host Trinity Tigers, 48-0, in a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference game. Southwestern (3-3 on the season) will play Texas Lutheran, also 2-0 in SCAC play and 2-4 for the campaign, for the undisputed conference lead at 6 p.m. Saturday at the GISD Athletic Complex. TLU, which lost its four non-conference
starts, is coming off a 17-13 win on the road over Austin College. The Bulldogs opened conference play with a 38-28 win over Trinity. At least as far as the Tigers were concerned, there were some bad dudes in the Pirates’ crew during their raid on the Alamo City. Justin Broussard and Matt Gillen set SCAC records, as the Bucs rolled to a dominant victory in which they might not have been enough planks for the Tigers to walk. Broussard, the SCAC's
Defensive Player of the Week selection for his performance in the previous week's 37-7 win over Austin College, remained on a rampage with nine tackles and including 5.5 sacks, which set a new conference single-game record. Broussard is a senior from Beaumont Kelly. "I was very proud of the guys around me," Broussard said of the defensive effort, which held Trinity to less than 2 yards a play on 75 snaps. "Everything was clicking. As we say, 'we
were all eating' out there." Gillen, a senior from New Tech High in Coppell, caught nine passes for 135 yards and he reached the end zone five times overall. The senior wide receiver hauled in four touchdown catches (14, 8, 13, 14 yards) and fell on a fumble in the end zone during the first quarter, which also counted as a receiving touchdown. His five receiving touchdowns are the SU defensive end Justin Brousmost in SCAC history. sard recorded 5.5 sacks in the SU cont. on B6

After being dispatched by then-No. 1 Cedar Park, 41-20, this past Friday at the GISD Athletic Complex, Georgetown will try to terminate a two-game losing streak and claim a victory that should ensure them of a berth in the Class 5A playoffs this Friday when they face struggling Bastrop Cedar Creek at 7:30 p.m. at Bastrop Memorial Stadium. The loss to the Timberwolves dropped the Eagles to 4-2 in conference play and 6-2 on the season with just the battle with Cedar Creek, an open date and a showdown with currently unbeaten Pflugerville Connally on the final Friday of the regular season. For Cedar Park, the win extended its current winning streak to 23 games and kept it in a tie for first in District 19-5A with Connally at 5-0 with three games to go, including this Friday's showdown between the Timberwolves and Cougars at Connally. However, the win over GHS did not enable Cedar Park to continue its hold on the No. 1 position in The Associated Press
In what has become a recurring pattern, East View surged ahead, fell behind, fought back and then collapsed in losing a District 19-5A contest to Hutto this past Friday night at Hippo Stadium. The Patriots now stand at 1-5 in district play (2-6 overall) and have eliminated themselves from post-season competition. Hutto remained mathematically alive with a 2-3 district record, but still must play Rouse and Cedar Park in back-to-back games before closing with Bastrop Cedar Creek. The Hippos were led by 210-pound senior running back Deary’on Milligan, who rushed for 219 yards and four touchdowns. “It’s redundant to say, but we played with great effort,” East View coach Rob Davies said. “We’ve been in so many games (Cedar Park, Connally, Hutto) and just couldn’t close them out in the final quarter.” The Patriots will close out their season, entertaining Elgin at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the GISD Athletic Complex before finishing up at Bastrop on Friday, Oct. 28.
