GHS, EV Boys Face Governor’s Cup

By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor

The East View and Georgetown boys will play in the annual Governor’s Cup at three GISD sites this coming Thursday through Saturday with the girls taking the weekend off in preparation for their own Lady Governor’s Cup on Jan. 21-23.

The Governor’s Cup will feature a 34-team field, including 11 schools they were listed in Texas Association of Soccer Coaches preseason rankings. That list includes Belton, College Station A&M Consolidated, Coppell, Deer Park, East View, Grapevine, Round Rock McNeil, San Antonio Jefferson, San Antonio Johnson, The Woodlands and Vandegrift.

Matches will be played at the GISD Athletic Complex, East View and the GHS track field.

Each team will play three matches. East View will face A&M Consolidated at 4 p.m. Thursday on its own field, will play El Paso Burges at 1 p.m. Friday at the GISD Athletic Complex and Humble Kingwood at 3 p.m. Saturday on its own field.

GHS will open with Friendswood at 4 p.m. Thursday, play Highland Park at 3 p.m. on Friday and Beaumont West Brook at 1 p.m. Saturday. All three Eagles games will be at the GISD Athletic Complex.

In non-district games schuled on Tuesday, the GHS girls played host to Round Rock Westwod at the GISD Athletic Complex and the East View girls were at Pflugerville Connally. The East View and Georgetown boys will play their final non-district matches next week.

Foreshadowing --premonition, if you prefer -- is an interesting, and, at times, an unsettling phenomenon.

Prior to the Georgetown Lady Eagles’ 25-5A game with Marble Falls on Friday night at Eagle Gym, veteran coach Rhonda Farney said that she felt the Mustangs were vastly improved over last season and would probably take down two or three district opponents before the current race was concluded.

For most of the first 28 minutes, it looked like the Lady Eagles might be one of those unfortunate “two or three teams.”

Georgetown trailed 18-15 at halftime and 25-23 after three quarters. The score was tied 29-29 with five minutes and 25 seconds remaining before a 10-of-10 performance at the free-throw line by junior guard Brooke Elliott helped lift GHS to a 41-32 victory.

The win kept 16th-ranked GHS unbeaten through the first five playing dates on the 25-5A schedule and tied with fourthranked Vista Ridge for the district lead -- two games ahead of third-place East View, which entertained the Lady Eagles on Tuesday night.

“After the game, the girls in the dressing room told me that we’re 5-0 in district,” Farney said. “I responded by saying ‘I don’t think that 5-0 has ever taken that much out of me before.’ . . . The 16 of 19 free throws for the game saved us.”

Earlier in the week, Georgetown had beaten Cedar Park, 41-28, to help set the stage for a crucial three-game span for the Lady Eagles, now 13-8 on the year. After visiting East View on Tuesday, GHS will play host to Vista Ridge (20-4 prior to its Tuesday contest) at 7:30 p.m. Friday and then travel to Dripping Springs for a 7:30 p.m. battle on Tuesday.

“It’s an important and tough stretch,” Farney said. “East View has their best team ever and Dripping Springs is one of the, if not the, toughest place in the district to play.”

And without saying Vista Ridge is Vista Ridge. The Rangers have won 19 straight games in the current version of 25-5A, and this year are winning district game by an average of 36 points a contest going into their Tuesday battle with Dripping Springs.

Coach Dave Walla’s Patriots put another impressive footnote in their credentials this past Friday by besting Dripping Springs, 48-46, on the road.

In the victory over the Mustangs (0-5, 12-12), Georgetown finally took the lead for good on the first of five successful pairs of free throws by Elliott, who alternated offense/defense with sister Taylor Elliott down the stretch, to go up 31-29 with 5:09 to play.

A steal and bucket by Taylor Elliott and two more free throws by Brooke Elliott put GHS up by 6 with 2:52 remaining at 3526. Marble Falls’ Aspen Woerner answered with two free throws with 1:47 to go to make it 35-31, but 33 seconds later Brooke Elliott made two more free throws to jack the lead back to 6. Marble Falls could pull no closer.

“We work on free throws every day,” said Brooke Elliott, who was the only GHS score in double digits with 13 points. “We Lady Eagles cont. on B2

East View Girls Retain Hold on Third Place

LADY EAGLES, FROM PG B1 put our free throws down and the defense played well.”

Aubree Adams, a 6-foot-1 sophomore, used her turn-around jumper inside to lead the Mustangs with 12 points Frankly, it was a horrid shooting night for the Lady Eagles as they made only 11 of 37 attempts from the floor, including just five of 25 in the first half and only three of 14 beyond the arc for the game.

GHS received a scare with 6:43 remaining in the third quarter when junior post Dee Day injured an ankle and had to be helped off the court in obvious pain.

However, she returned at the start of the fourth period and came up with three key rebounds down the stretch. She led all rebounders with nine.

Tuesday night’s road win at Cedar Park was another example of Georgetown finishing strongly to post the victory. The Lady Eagles led 18-16 at the half and 30-26 after three quarters. In the fourth quarter, they outscored the Lady Timberwolves, 11-2 to claim the victory as Cedar Park managed just two free throws over the final eight minutes.

The Lady Eagles made seven of 12 free-throw attempts in the fourth quarter to supplement field goals by Emily Jones and Taylor Green en route to the victory.

“Anytime you can hold Cedar Park to 28 points it feels good,” Farney said.

“We received good minutes from all our kids and we played good defense. I think (senior) Kendrick Clark played her best all-around game of the season.”

The 5-11 Clark, who signed earlier in the season to play for Wayland Baptist, led all scorers with 16 points and added three rebounds, two steals and a block. B. Elliott with seven points was the only Lady Eagle with more than 5 points.

The GHS defense allowed the Lady Timberwolves just 10 baskets in 40 shots

from the floor, including only a pair of 3-pointers in 12 attempts.

Chika Onyia was the only Cedar Park player with more than 3 points as the 5-11 inside performer scored 11.

The Lady Eagles also received an injury scare in the CP game when Taylor Elliott went down late in the third period with what was at first appeared to be a possible serious knee injury. However, the injury proved to be bone bruise and she was back in action against Dripping Springs.

When GHS faced East View Friday night, it was playing a cross-toll-road rival that has never beaten the Lady Eagles in their six previous meetings in UIL district competition -- four times in 17-4A and twice in 25-5A.

After breaking even in a pair of 25-5A games this past week, third-place East View faced a challenging test in its next three district games. The Lady Patriots faced arch-rival and co-leader Georgetown at home on Tuesday before visiting Leander at 7:30 p.m. Friday and entertaining Cedar Park at 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday.

The battle with Leander closes out the first round of district, and the Cedar Park game will match Coach Dave Walla’s Patriots against a team that downed them 56-47 in the district opener.

Last week, East View (3-2 in district and 12-9 on the season before Tuesday night) dropped a 70-31 decision to fourth-ranked Vista Ridge at home on Tuesday and then edged Dripping Springs, 48-46, in the hills on Friday.

The Patriots have been without sophomore Rachel Wisian, the team’s tallest starter, for the past three games with a concussion protocol. East View hoped to have her back in the lineup for the game with 16th-ranked Georgetown.

Senior Abby Holland, East View’s leading scorer, opened the scoring for the Patriots en route to 23 points. She also had six rebounds and three steals to lead her team to victory in the loud Dripping Springs gym..

East View held a slim 10-8 lead after one quarter.

The Patriots led the entire game, but a late surge saw the second-quarter advantage shrink to 19-18 at the half. With Holland scoring 9 third-period points and junior Emily Daniel leading the way, East View took a 37-29 lead after three quarters.

The Tigers outscored the Patriots, 17-11, in the fourth quarter as East View held on to take a 2- point win. Daniel had 15 points, six rebounds and three steals, while Diamond Morrison contributed six points, seven assists and two steals.

“It was a team win in a difficult environment,” Walla said. “Although our shooting was below average, our effort level was high. Obviously Abby, Diamond, and Emily played well, but others without great stats such as Sarah Lindsey, Lina Mendoza, Alyson Ashby and Paighton Corley were key contributors.”

Brooke Bradley led Dripping Springs with 13 points.

The Patriots were never in contention with Vista Ridge, a team that has won its five district games by

an average of 36 points.

They were overpowered

by Rangers’ starting lineup that includes four Division I prospects.

Vista Ridge scored the first 9 points until Corley scored on a twisting layup after driving the middle to break the shutout at 9-2.

When Daniel completed a field goal and free throw for an old style 3-point play, the margin was 19-5 with 2:46 left in the first quarter. Holland and Daniel led the scoring with 13 and 10 points apiece.

Danielle Rainey, a key figure in the Rangers’ drive to the 5A state semifinals last season, led Vista Ridge with 21 points. The defending 25-5A and Region IV-5A titlists hit 50 percent of its 56 shots from the floor, while EV made just 32 percent of his 43 shots.

Eagles Claim Two Wins

Patriots Tumble To 0-3 In 25-5A

by Jon Whittemore Advocate Correspondent

“About the only thing you can do is forget about it and move to the next game,” East View coach Jason Jones said after his Patriots lost to Vista Ridge by 66 points this past Thursday. “I’ve coached on teams that have been beaten badly before, but that was the worse. They are really good and were up by 50-plus and still pressing.”

The final score was 96-30, and combined with Friday’s 55-36 loss to Dripping Springs, leaves East View with an 0-3 25-5A mark and a 5-16 season record.

The Patriots played at Georgetown on Tuesday night, and will entertain Leander at 7:30 p.m. Friday, and visit Cedar Park at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19.

The “highlight” of the Vista Ridge game for East View was freshman point guard Zion Hester, who scored only three points but handled the press like a veteran getting charged with only one turnover despite being pressed the entire game.

“Zion is having to mature and grow as a player on the fly, and is doing a really good job of filling that ball-handling and leadership role for us,” Jones said. “He’ll be a good one before it’s all over.”

Brandon Garrett led the team in scoring with nine, while five played scored in double digits for the Rangers, who improved to 21-1 on the season after Friday’s escape against Vandegrift.

The Rangers led 45-12 at the half and then outscored East View, 51-18, in the second half.

The Patriots played much better in the Friday’s game with Dripping Springs.

“Our hustle was good and our attitude remains positive,” Jones said. “We are executing the offensive sets nicely and getting good looks at the bucket. We’re just not able to make the shots.”

The Tigers were led in scoring by 6-foot-2 guard Nicky Breen who had 16 at half and 20 for the game.

“I was proud of (Cameron) Nowell and the defense he played on Breen,” Jones added. “We put Cameron on him in the second half and Breen only got four after intermission.”

Leading the Patriots in scoring was 6-5 postman Cray Steger who had 10 points – all in the second half. Senior forward Dylan Derr (6-4) chipped in 7 and Zion Hester added 6. The Patriots had 18 turnovers, but also forced 19 turnovers by Dripping Springs.

Georgetown surged back into the thick of 25-5A race with two victories last week. One was an overtime squeaker and the other was a no-contest blowout. The Eagles beat Cedar Park, 47-44, at home this past Tuesday and then took to road for a 66-32 romp over Marble Falls.

Standing 2-1 in district and 13-8 on the season, the Eagles entertained East View on Tuesday night before visiting Vista Ridge at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and visiting Dripping Springs at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19.

Vista Ridge was 3-0 in 255A and 21-1 on the season before its Tuesday game at Dripping Springs.

In the win over Cedar Park, Georgetown played one of its lest-productive halves in recent memory.

“It wasn’t pretty (regarding 6 total points at halftime), but a win is a win,” GHS assistant coach Michael Porter said.

With regard to the game with the Timberwolves, head coach Russell Miller quipped, “We’re just happy to get the first district win.

The crowd was good and helped a lot. Our student section gave us great support. We were glad to put together a little run and end up with the victory.”

Georgetown was led in scoring by the Kaden Herbert with 23 points. He was 14 of 15 from the freethrow line after scoring only 2 in the first 16 minutes of action. The Eagles shot only 29 percent from the floor for the game and were a measly 1 of 16 from beyond the arc. Helped

by Herbert’s proficiency from the charity stripe, the team did go 20 for 23 (87 percent) from the line.

Beau Corrales had 9 points and five rebounds to go with six steals and four deflections. Corrales also had a crowd-pleasing steal and two-handed flush early in the fourth quarter to

set the tone for a 23-point period that ended up pushing the game to overtime.

Chandler Herman scored 8, and the 6-foot-2 guard also hauled in a team-high eight rebounds.

Defensively, the Eagles forced 15 turnovers in the game and didn’t allow a basket during the overtime period. The Timberwolves managed only four free throws in the extra 4-minute period.

Georgetown had not held the lead once, but knotted the score at 40 on two free throws by Herbert with :09 left in regulation. In the OT, Herbert had 4 points, Herman had 2 and sophomore guard Matt Taparauskas hit one free throw.

The Friday night contest in Marble Falls was a runaway from the opening tip.

“We hit five 3s in the opening quarter and that really put us in a good rhythm,” Miller said. coach Russell Miller. The first quarter score was 27-2, and the Eagles never looked back outscoring the over-matched Mustangs in all four periods.

“They stayed in a zone defense, and we just shot over the top of it,” added Miller. “Tonight the shots were going in. We also got lots of turnovers on them on the press. With the big lead, we just went to a man-to-man defense and worked on some things that we needed to polish for the rest of the district season.”

On a balanced scoring sheet, the Eagles were led by juniors Corrales with 13 and Herman with 11. Taparauskas added 9 and Will Dietlein had 7.

Sophomore postman Jeff Williams contributed six as did Kaden Herbert and Ethan Campbell.

The Old Coach Has Realignment Say Monday, Feb. 1, draws nearer and speculation about the UIL’s biennial realignment continues and that process will remain until the seals are broken on the official envelopes early that morning at sites around the state where athletics directors, coaches and the news media will gather to receive the gospel truth on the subject.

Matt Stepp, the senior analyst at The Old Coach website, made his projections this past Friday with Georgetown and East View being placed in a District 18-5A that combines elements of their current 25-5A and their previous two-year home in 17-4A. Stepp places the Patriots and Eagles in an eight-team circuit with Cedar Park and Rouse from the Leander ISD, Marble Falls, Elgin, Hutto and Pflugerville Connally.

Of course, this projection will move the GISD schools back into Region III-5A, which across the board is much tougher from top to bottom than the current Region IV-5A. However, if The Old Coach is correct, the rub will come in bi-district with 18-5A being matched up against a much tougher challenge than its current pairing with Austin ISD schools.

District 17-5A will be an eight-team grouping of Bryan, Bryan Rudder, Brenham, College Station, College Station A&M Consolidated, Temple, Waco and Waco University.

Dripping Springs, a current member of 25-5A, would be shuffled into a new eight-team 26-5A with Alamo Heights, Boerne Champion, Kerrville Tivy, Lockhart, San Antonio Kennedy, San Antonio Memorial and Seguin.

However, this projection probably hasn’t resulted in the gnashing of teeth as much as the fate of the three current members of 25-5A moving up to 6A -- Leander, Vandegrift and Vista Ridge -- who are moving in with Austin Westlake, Lake Travis, Austin Anderson, Austin Akins and Austin Bowie.

If Stepp is correct, the remainder of Region III-5A will look like this for the upcoming two school years: District 19 (9 schools) --Huntsville, Magnolia, Magnolia West, Nacogdoches, Splendora, Toball, Tomball Memorial, Waller, Willis.

District 20 (8 Houston ISD schools) -- Austin, Davis, Lee, Madison, Milby, Sharpstown, Sterling, Waltrip.

District 21 (8 schools) -- Conroe Caney Creek, Crosby, Dayton, Humble, Humble Kingwood Park, Mount Belvieu Barbers Hill, New Caney, New Caney Porter.

District 22 (7 schools) -- Beaumont Central, Beaumont Ozen, Lumberton, Nederland, Port Arthur Memorial, Port Neches-Groves, Vidor.

District 23 (7 schools) -- Alta Loma Santa Fe, Angleton, Baytown Lee, Galena Park, Galveston Ball, Manvel, Texas City.

District 24 (7 schools) -- Fort Bend Elkins, Fort Bend Marshall, Fort Bend Willowridge, Port Lavaca Calhoun, Richmond Foster, Rosenburg Lamar, Rosenburg Terry.

Georgetown Boys, Girls Both Claim Second Place

By Galen Wellnicki

Hartsell, Parks Post Double Victories For GHS, East View

Sports Editor

Georgetown and East View made their final competitive preps for the District 18-5A Swimming Meet this past Saturday against a strong field in the Wildcat Winter Classic in Temple, and GISD head coach Tim Pukys was pleased with what he saw.

“They are tired from all the hard work, but they did really well,” Pukys said of his swimmers as both the Georgetown boys and girls placed second behind Round Rock McNeil and ahead of Austin Westlake.

“Getting second against a field with good 6A teams is pretty good.”

McNeil outpointed GHS,

445-378, in the 13-school girls division, and the Mavericks posted a 466.5-300.5 edge over the Eagles in the 12-team boys field. East View was sixth in the girls team chase with 146 points and seventh in boys action with 173.

The District 18-5A showdown is scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 22 at the Georgetown Recreation Center with GHS, East View, Gateway and Brenham expected to dominate the competition.

The top six finishers in each event at district will advance to the Region V-5A Meet at the Texas A&M Student Recreation

Center in College Station on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 5-6. The UIL State Meet is scheduled Friday and Saturday, Feb. 19-20, at the Lee and Joe Jamail Swim Center on the University of Texas campus in Austin.

The Georgetown and East View swimmers will now enter a period of preparation for the district meet.

“We’ll start tapering down (our work) at the end the week,” Pukys said.

“Getting enough rest is really important in preparation for district.”

Georgetown and East View girls combined to win

six of the 12 events in their classification with GHS junior Rehgan Hartsell and EV sophomore Emilie Parks each claiming two individual titles. The Lady Eagles also won both the 200-yard medley relay and the 200 freestyle relay.

Hartsell won the 200 individual medley by 1.45 seconds with a time of 2 minutes, 21.41 seconds and the 100 breaststroke by 1.53 seconds with a 1:12.06. In both races Austin Westlake sophomore Kate MacRae was second.

Parks took the 200 free title by 6.21 seconds as she covered the distance 2:02.46 before coming

back to claim the 100 butterfly crown by 1.94 seconds with a 1:03.43.

Hartsell combined with junior Hannah Ignacio, senior Rylan Slocum and freshman Cierra Scully to win the 200 medley relay by 1.66 seconds with a 2:00.09 and the same foursome claimed the 200 free relay, edging McNeil by .10 with a 1:49.69.

Ignacio also gave GHS a second in the 100 backstroke with a 1:07.44.

Freshman Kira Bowling of Meridian World School was the only other double winner in the girls, capturing the 50 and 100 free crowns.

On the boys side, McNeil, Westlake and Hendrickson combined to win all 12 event titles with each school having a double individual winner -- Josh Harris (50 free, 100 back) of McNeil, Matthew Willenbring (200 free, 100 breast) of Westlake and Jacob Overheim (200 IM, 500 free) of Hendrickson.

McNeil also claimed two of the three relays.

The Eagles used their depth to finish second in the boys division. GHS received three second-place performances -- freshman William Corona (2:12.42 in the 200 IM), sophomore Jackson Zenisek (51.78 in the 100 free) and junior Marc True (59.94 in the 100 back).
