Eagles Score A Victory
Lapping The Field
GHS Beats EV, 59-27
Galen Wellnicki
If you feel there is an overdose of offense in high school football these days, you probably will find District 25-5A competition very offensive to your taste. The state’s premier 5A alignment, at times, is straining the digital abacuses on scoreboards at the GISD Athletic Complex, Bible Stadium, Gupton Stadium, Monroe Stadium, Tiger Stadium and Mustang Stadium. Through the first 16 of 28 games in this season’s seven-week playoff chase, 25-5A games are producing an average of 69.3 points a game. That breaks down to 48.75 points for the winners and 20.56 for the unfortunates. In raw numbers that’s 1,109 points. There hasn’t been a shutout. The lowest score by one team was Leander’s 3 points in a 46-point loss to Vandegrift on the second night of district -- the lowest scoring of the four weeks so far written in records with 222 points. In only seven games have the losers been held to 14 or fewer points. District teams scored 257 in the first week, but in week three the teams made their stationary bikes highly mobile. A total of 308 points were put up on Oct. 9, and then this past Friday the figure jumped to 322. On 11 occasions, the winning team has scored 45 or more points. The high-water combined scoring performance came on the third Friday of the race when Vandegrift and Vista Ridge combined for 118 points in 63-55 comefrom-behind victory by the Vipers. On the other end of the scoring spectrum, the lowest point-producer was 48 total points in Wellnicki on Page B8

It was an oddity -- something you don’t see every day or maybe every season. The East View Patriots hungry to even their alltime record with the Georgetown Eagles at 2-2 on Friday night at the GISD Athletic Complex scored on both the first and last scrimmage plays of the game. Coach Rob Davies’ Patriots scored on a 75-yard reverse by junior Mason Klinger on the first scrimmage play, and then posted their fourth touchdown on the final play of the District 25-5A contest with the scoreboard already boasting triple zeros on a 19-yard pitch from backup quarterback Cameron Nowell to Quinn Stewart. However, between those two touchdowns, the Eagles outscored the Patriots eight touchdowns and a field goal to two touchdowns, allowing Georgetown to exit the stadium with a 59-27 victory that evened Georgetown’s district mark at 2-2 and kept their playoff hopes alive. East View, which pulled out all stops to derail its cross-toll road rival, fell to 0-4 in district. The Eagles and Patriots both scored in every quarter. While East View scored a single touchdown in every quarter, Georgetown put up 21 points in the first, 14 in the second, 7 in the third and 17 in the fourth. Eagles on Page B8 Russell Rinn / Advocate

GHS Teams, Individuals Take Second By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor
Not all second-place finishes are the same. True, both runner-up endings in the District 25-5A Cross Country Meet this past Friday at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock advanced Georgetown teams to the Region IV-5A Meet this coming Monday in Corpus Christi. However, Coach Kellye Richardson’s young Lady Eagles pleasantly surprised themselves with their finish, while coach Andrew Braun’s Eagles were somewhat “bummed” that their streak of five consecutive district championships was terminated. The runner-up theme continued into the individual 5,000-meter races. GHS sophomore Jazmin Hernandez finished second to Leander senior Claire Crome, finishing 13.7 seconds behind the winner in the girls derby. Crone prevailed with a time of 18 minutes, 40 seconds. On the boys side, Eagles junior Joseph Proctor took second in his race with a 16:15.4 clocking, 9.6 seconds behind winner Tyler Grendel, a Cedar Park junior. The Eagles barely missed their sixth straight team title, finishing just 3-points, 47-50, behind Cedar Park. Dripping Springs was third with 82 points and East View ended fifth with 112 points. The top three teams and 10 individuals advance to the regional competition which will be staged on the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s track and stadium grounds. Dripping Springs, placing all five scoring runners in the top 15 of 53 finishers, cruised to victory in the girls competition with 46 points. Georgetown put three runners in the top 10 and placed a distant second with 70 points. Vandegrift was third with 81 points, with East View finishing on the bottom of the eight-team field with 206 points. “I’m super proud of our effort,” Richardson said. “We finished ahead of two teams (Vandegrift and Leander) that have beaten us this season. We got three girls in the top 10 (Jazmin second, sophomore McKenzie Hargrove second and senior Natalie Parks 10th) and that was extremely important. Natalie taking 10th was huge. “We haven’t had everybody at full strength. Maryn (Demaio) is coming back from what was believed to be a stress fracture. Hopefully, we’ll be in better shape in 10 days at regional.” Hargrove and Parks posted times of 19:07.2 and 19:34.3, respectively. “We are pleased that we are moving on,” Braun said

of the Eagles’ finish, “but we’re a little bummed that our streak came to an end. Cedar Park did a really good job. We’re going to regroup and, hopefully, we’ll get them next week. “We need to realize how the performance of one guy can be the difference in a meet --especially when there is only a 3-point difference. At times, we have little things distracting us, rather than just competing. Can’t complain, though, when you’re going to regional with a chance to advance to state.” The Eagles won the Class 5A bronze medal at state last season. Sophomore Jonathan Parks, who was misplaced in the early unofficial results, was eighth with a time of 16:31.2 and senior Collin Turner was 10th with a 16:31.6 when the finish was corrected. GHS placed all five runners in the top 17, but the Timberwolves offset having their fifth runner in 21st by placing four among the first 12 finishers. At regional, the top four teams and first 10 finishers not on one of the qualifying teams advance to the Class 5A finals of the UIL State Meet on Saturday, Nov. 7, on the same course at Old Settler’s Park.

when I finished. I felt like I was really slow last year, but this year I’m stronger and more experienced. “Hopefully, we can all place well at regional and go to state and get a good place at state.” Proctor mirrored the bummed feeling that Braun mentioned shortly after his race. “I thought we were really nervous before the race,” he said. “It’s a mental game -- intensity. It was really hard today.” East View coaches Mike and Sarah Burton are working on building programs for the Patriots. “The varsity girls are very young,” Mike Burton said. “We ran two 14-year-old girls today. We’re probably a year or two from being a strong team. Our boys have shown a big improvement this year. We were hoping to qualify for regional, but we didn’t do it today.” East View’s top varsity finishers were sophomore Guillermo Carrillo, 11th in the boys race with a 16:41.8, and sophomore Isabella Zane, 31st in the girls with a 20:58.3. On the sub-varsity level, GHS won the JV boys team title and individual gold in both the boys JV and freshman races.

The Georgetown Lady Eagles defeated the improving East View Lady Patriots volleyball team in straight sets 25-12, 25-21, and 25-23 to lock up a spot in the playoffs on Friday at Eagle Gym. GHS with a 26-15 season and 8-3 district record is assured of a spot in the playoffs in what appears to be the toughest 5A district in the state. The Eagles currently stand one game behind second-place Vandegrift (9-2) and three games arrears of the state’s top-ranked Dripping Springs Lady Tigers (11-0). The Lady Eagles tried to improve their standing on Tuesday night when they faced fourth-place Cedar Park (7-4) on the Lady Timberwolves’ hardwoods. Friday night, Georgetown, which ends the season on the road, travels to Vista Ridge before closing out this coming Tuesday at Dripping Springs. GHS coach Jenny Richardson is hoping the Lady Eagles can finish either second or third so they will be on the opposite end of the Region IV-5A bracket from Dripping Springs. In that case, the Lady Eagles and Lady Tigers could not meet again until the regional finals. It was seniors’ night for Georgetown and appropriately the seven seniors played well and led the Eagles to get out fast and stage comebacks in both of the last two sets to achieve an important 3-0 match win despite an inspired effort by East View, now 3-8 in district. “I thought our seven seniors played well tonight as we continue to improve,” Richardson said. The Lady Eagles roared to a 25-12 opening-set win, with seniors Caroline Furrier, Maddie Douglas and Shayleigh Hass starting their parade of kills for the match with 12, 9 and 8 kills, respectively. The second set found the underdog Patriots with a lead late in the set, but a furious rally by GHS edged the Patriots 25-21 to put the Lady Eagles up 2-0. “I was pretty happy with our offense and defense the first two sets,” Richardson said. East View led the third set late by 5 points only to have the Eagles make some crucial plays to run off several points in their last two serves to win the final set. “We have been working to add a more complex offense that we executed pretty well, especially in the first two sets,” Richardson added. The Patriots played with a lot of heart with seniors Calli Novak and Miranda Klein leading the way. Novak provided EV with a spark with a couple of spectacular full swing kills to help move some momentum toward the Patriots in the second and third sets.

“We defended serve and blocked well during much of the match,” East View coach Justeen Coulson said. Sophomore Katie Smith and Novak led the defensive effort with four and three digs respectively for the game. Outstanding junior Corrine Novak, sister of Calli, missed the game with an ankle injury, which is likely to sideline her for the remainder of the season. “Katie (Smith) played her best game,” Coulson said. “She led our defense in winning some unbelievable tight points. We are improving each match. The third set was the best we have played all year. “Miranda (Klein) and Calli (Novak) were really key to the offense -- both scored several important points.” Calli Novak was expectedly disappointed, saying, “Our second and third sets were two of our best played this year. We made some errors, let balls fall into open areas and we didn’t finish when we had a chance to win.”
East View will close the season with three home games against Vista Ridge, Leander and Cedar Park. Despite a slow start, Georgetown advanced to the East View game with a 3-0 (25-22, 25-12, 25-6) domination of Leander on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at Eagle Gym. “In order to be a playoff team you have to be willing to take chances,” Richardson said. “I’m happy we’re trying new things.” GHS did use a familiar combination to dismantle the Lady Lions -- the hitting power of Furrer and Douglas, who combined for 24 kills. East View dropped a 3-0 decision to Vandegrift, 26-24, 25-21, 25-19, in its previous start despite a 16-kill effort by C. Novak. GHS VS. EAST VIEW STATS EV: Kills -- C. Novak 9.

Eagles Advance To Area Tournament By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor
After finishing second in this past week’s District 25-5A Team Tennis Tournament, Georgetown will be trying to earn a berth in the Region IV-5A Tournament when it competes in an eight-team elimination event this week. The Eagles, who dropped a 10-0 decision to Vandegrift in the 25-5A finals this past Friday, will open the area even against Austin McCallum, the third-place team in 26-5A, at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Minzenmayer Tennis Center on the GHS campus. If Georgetown wins, it will advance to the semifinals against either 26-5A champion Austin LBJ or Cedar Park, fourth in 25-5A, at 5 p.m. Thursday. The finals are set for 5 p.m. Friday with Vandegrift expected to advance out of a side of the bracket with Dripping Springs, Bastrop and Bastrop Cedar Creek.

Young Patriots Make Spirited Effort By Allan Shiflet Advocate Correspondent
Russell Rinn / Advocate
Patriots senior QB Austin Moreno threw for 240 yards against Georgetown on Friday night.
The East View Patriots fought hard but were doomed by their youthful mistakes in a losing effort against the more-experienced Georgetown Eagles. “Our young team was excited to play on such a big stage in front of a packed stadium against our biggest rival,” Patriots coach Rob Davies said of his team’s 59-27 loss to the Eagles in District 25-5A competition at the GISD Athletic Complex. “I was proud our kids, they played hard in front of this big crowd.” East View ran a wide open, imaginative offense, generating a closer contest statistically than the final score indicated. The Patriots served notice that -- although being in a building year after being hit by heavy talent losses from graduation from last years’ solid team -- they were here to win. On the first play of the game, Davies called for a reverse that worked to perfection with a 75-yard touchdown run by junior wide out Mason Klinger to take a 7-0 lead. The Eagles also scored a touchdown on their first possession on a long 70 yard, 9 play drive aided by a couple of key missed tackles by the young Patriot defense. On the Patriots’ second possession
they fumbled at their own 12-yard line, leading to GHS’ second score on a 10 yard run by Dakota Cahill. Coach Davies had the Patriots playing an aggressive blitzing defense that often had linebackers and defensive backs in position to make solo tackles at or near the line of scrimmage. A couple of missed tackles allowed a late first quarter 23 yard touchdown run by the Eagles’ Jamel Powell, putting the Patriots down 21-7 at the end of the first quarter. The hustling Patriot defense got on top of a fumbled punt by GHS to set up shop on their own 38. Two plays later, East View sophomore running back, Torrie Davis, made a spinning 42-yard touchdown run up the middle that featured several missed tackles by the GHS defenders, highlighted by a nice cutback by Davis after he broke a tackle clearing the initial line of scrimmage. This brought East View within a touchdown at 21-14. On the ensuing kickoff GHS returned it midfield. The first play of that possession saw the Eagles come out with wide outs flanked far left and right of the line of scrimmage. Georgetown caught the Patriots in an outside blitz, allowing Cahill to bust a run wide open up the middle; with East View unable to deploy a safety against that formation, there was nobody left to stop Cahill on
51-yard scoring run. After driving to the red zone, East View, with a shot at getting within 7 points, was unable to convert a fourth-and-6 situation. With a little over a minute left until half time, GHS hit a 47 yard bomb for a touchdown to cap a 93 yard drive. After a GHS touchdown on its first possession of the second half, EV senior quarterback, Austin Moreno, hit Michael Distad with a 2-yard touchdown pass with 7:30 left in the third quarter. The opportunistic Patriot defense managed to rip the ball away from a GHS runner for another takeaway and set up EVHS to further close the gap. After failing to score on that possession, with 5:41 left in the quarter, the EVHS special teams recovered another GHS fumbled punt to set the Patriot offense on the Georgetown 42 yard line, but again failed to score on that drive. “Our guys hustled and created some chances, but we failed to take advantage of them,” Davies said. With two of their final three games on home turf at the GISD Athletic Complex against Leander this Friday and Marble Falls on Friday, Nov. 6, the Patriots (3-4, 0-4) have a good chance to break into the 25-5A win column. East View will visit topranked Cedar Park on Friday, Oct. 30.
Victory Enables Eagles To Even District Mark By Jon Whittemore Advocate Correspondent
After stumbling out of the blocks to begin District 25-5A competition, the Eagles have apparently righted the ship and reeled off two impressive wins in a row. Georgetown now stands at 5-2 for the season. More importantly they
have evened their record in district play at 2-2 with consecutive victories over Marble Falls and East View High. Spearheading the Eagles’ resurgence has been an offensive explosion, most recently featuring the play of 5 foot-11 inch, 190 pound senior running back Dakota Cahill. He, along with
many of his teammates, exemplifies the “E-F-N-D” (Eagle Fight Never Dies) stitching on the front of their game jerseys. “Our theme for this season is ‘It’s a new day... It’s time to turn the page,’” said Cahill after torching East View for five touchdowns in the Eagles’ 59-27 victory in the annual show-

down at the GISD Athletic Complex. The motto is an obvious reference to the team’s disappointment at missing the playoffs in 2014. The final score against East View was 59-27. Surprisingly, with such a lopsided final score, the Eagles had to battle from behind early after the Patriots’ Mason Klinger bolted through the Eagle defense on a flanker reverse for 75 yards on the first play from scrimmage. The Eagle combativeness and never-surrender/ never-say-die attitude surfaced early when they took the ensuing kickoff and promptly marched 70 yards in 9 plays to even the score. The one-yard payoff plunge was the first of Cahill’s scores. “We have a great offensive line, and I always want to give them a shout-out for the job they do,” continued Cahill. “We backs couldn’t do what we do, and really we couldn’t have any offensive production at all without good line play.” Opening the holes and protecting the QB for the Eagles are: center Kade Clapper, guards Jacoby Coleman and Kadin Hammonds, and tackles Chase Travis and Ben Purcell. Tight end Logan Olson also
is pivotal to most blocking schemes. It was Cahill’s fourth game this season with multiple touchdowns. He now has 14 in spite of missing one game with an ankle injury. This offensive contribution comes on the heels of his junior season when he finished with over 1,200 yards rushing and scored 20 touchdowns. With three regular-season games to play, the speedy upperclassman is averaging almost seven yards per carry (79-549) and has added another 107 yards of 14 pass receptions. Cahill is not toting the freight alone, however. Junior QB Chandler Herman is completing 66 percent of his passes (114-172) and has passed for 1,371 yards through seven games. Senior speedster Jamel Powell (who has missed three games with a leg problem) runs a 4.4 in the 40 and averages 10.8 yards on each of his 30 carries. Star wide receiver Jo’vonta Grimble (6-2, 195) has proven poisonous to opponents’ defenses with 706 yards on 45 catches including a 98 yard TD against Hays Consolidated and an 84 yarder against Pflugerville. Versatility is added to the mix by senior “athlete” Richard Bueno. Bueno (5-
9, 165) usually lines up at an end or slot position but also takes his turn in the backfield. He has carried for 53 yards and caught passes for another 190. “We can score but have been hurt by some dumb penalties,” opined the senior confidently. “As we get deeper into the season, we’ll correct those mistakes and get better defensively.” Against East View, the Eagles were penalized 8 times for 103 yards, lost four fumbles and gave up 494 yards of total offense. The Eagles can score, and they have many weapons offensively when all are healthy. In a district that boasts some of the best players in Central Texas, the defense will have to make a stand and establish its identity somewhere in the final three regular-season games. With Vista Ridge, Dripping Springs and Vandegrift looming on the remaining schedule, this task will be daunting. Unless that defensive improvement happens soon, it will be difficult to “turn the page” on last year’s disappointment. Regardless, the Eagles are confident that “Eagle Fight will Never Die.”

OCTOBER 21, 2015 THE ADVOCATE EAGLES FROM PAGE B1
Statistically, Georgetown had a lot to over come to produce the 32-point victory. The Eagles lost four fumbles, were penalized eight times for 103 yards (seven majors) and allowed 494 total yards. With senior running back Dakota Cahill, who was back on track after missing time with a high ankle sprain, scored five touchdowns, and the offense combining its rushing and passing for 592 yards on 64 snaps, GHS was quickly able to take control. The outcome also was a punch in the face for ball-control devotees as East View ran 21 more plays than the Eagles. “We felt pretty good about the offense,” said GHS junior quarterback Chandler Herman, who completed 17 of 25 for 210 yards and rushed for
90 yards, including a 47yard run. “We put up 59 points. The last two games have made us much more confident. We need to keep rolling.” After Klinger’s sprint that came when many fans on both sides were still heading to their seats, the Eagles countered quickly en route to the homecoming victory, They drove 70 yards in nine plays to tie the game at 7-7 on a 1-yard run by Cahill, who finished with 119 yards on 13 carries. Luiz Diaz kicked his first of eight extra points. Seven plays later GHS was back in the end zone after linebacker Jace Arrieta recovered an EV fumble on the Patriot 12. Cahill got the score on a 10-yard run to put Georgetown ahead to stay with 5:48 to go in the first period. On its next possession, the Eagles went
60 yards in eight plays to score on a 23-yard run by Jamel Powell, who was coming back his own leg problems, to lead 21-7 with 2:18 still in the opening period. However, the Eagles’ first lost bobble on an attempt to field a punt started things moving toward a 42-yard dash by East View’s sophomore Torrie Davis, and Dillon Luterek’s second of three extra points made it 21-14. The score foreshadowed the potential for a tight battle with 7:23 to go in the half, but it never materialized. That 7-point deficit lasted just 20 seconds as Cahill ripped off a 51-yard touchdown scamper on the next scrimmage play. The Eagles fumbled on the second play of their next possession, but the Patriots could do nothing with the opportunity, losing the ball on downs at the GHS’ 7.

The Eagles closed out the first half, scoring with 1:14 remaining on a 47yard toss from Herman to wide receiver Jo’vonta Grimble that climaxed a 93-yard, five-play push that was accelerated on a 32yard run by Powell on the first snap. It stood 35-14 prior to the naming of the homecoming queen. Each team scored once in the third period. GHS jacked the count to 42-14 on a 7-yard toss from Herman to Cahill, while EV countered with a 28-yard fourth-down pass from Austin Moreno to Michael Distad to make the score 42-21 with 7:30 to go in the third quarter. Georgetown scored 17 consecutive points before Nowell’s closing touchdown pass to Stewart. Those scores came on a 3-yard run by Cahill, a 30-yard pass from backup quarterback Nathan Jones
to Beau Corrales, and a 36yard field goal by Diaz. “If we were playing in a close game those turnovers would have really hurt,” Dean said. “We had two on special teams and two from scrimmage. We put a lot of emphasis on protecting the football game. We were able to hold the line in most instances.” “As for the penalties,” he said, “most where hustling penalties. We’ll look at the video and correct things. In one stretch, we had a 14-point turnaround when we had a touchdown called back (a 32-yard run by Herman) and then on their next possession we fumbled a punt and they scored three plays later.” GHS was forced to change punt returners after Cole Rickerson was injured. He was on crutches at the end of the game with an leg injury of undetermined severity.
WELLNICKI FROM PAGE B1 Dripping Springs’ 38-10 win over Marble Falls on Friday, Sept. 24. A look at 25-5A on the basis of points scored and allowed in the first four rounds of district: Team (Pts.

Georgetown, which jerked its record up to 2-2 with last Friday’s 59-27 win over East View, will face a major defensive challenge this week in Vista Ridge (3-1). The Rangers are averaging 51 points a game and have yet to be held under the 42 points they scored this past Friday against Dripping Springs. The three upcoming games are important with GHS needing a sweep to guarantee itself of a playoff position. Conventional wisdom says that 4-3 should make the playoffs, but that old wisdom failed the Eagles last season as they stayed home after losing their season finale to Vandegrift. And that playoff berth will have to be earned on foreign turf with Coach Jason Dean’s Eagles playing Vista Ridge this coming Friday at Gupton and then closing the season against Vandegrift in their
“I did like our pace on offense,” Dean said of an attack that rolled up 592 yards -- 326 on the ground and 266 in the air. The Eagles also received an interception by Brandon Hawkins and a fumble recovery by defensive lineman Hunter Creasey. Defensive coordinator David Patterson listed Will May, Jordan Heller, Creasey and Arrietsa as the top performers on his side of the ball. East View’s Moreno put the ball up 46 times, completing 22 for 240 yards before giving way to Nowell as the fourth quarter wound down. Davis, working with a combination of power and quick feet, carried 17 times for 123 yards. Georgetown (5-2) takes to the road next Friday to play Vista Ridge and East View (3-4) stays home to face Leander. Galen@SportsTX.com
first-ever trip to the Viper’s on-campus Monroe Stadium on Friday, Nov. 6. The Dripping Springs game on Friday, Oct. 30, will be the Eagles’ home finale at the GISD Athletic Complex. “We’ve got our confidence level up with our last two games,” Dean said. “We’re finally starting to get well. Vista will be a challenge. They have a dangerous veteran quarterback (Matt Snow), who is the heart of their offense. He’s not scared to run and he likes to run. He’s a good enough passer to make you hurt there as well.” The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Snow has rushed 114 times for 1,077 yards (9.45 per carry) and completed 59 of 96 passes for 1,006 yards. He has rushed for at least 123 yards every start with a high game of 246 in the scoring orgy with Vandegrift. Adding in his passing, he had 437 total yards against the Vipers. He has help. Running back Isaiah Vilaire, who has rambled 70 times for 818 yards (11.7 per carry). It’s Big Boy Pants time for the Eagle “D.” East View will finish with two games at home, which will be sandwiched around a road game on Friday, Oct. 30, against unbeaten Cedar Park. The Patriots will entertain Leander this Friday and Marble Falls on Friday, Nov. 6. Three things that impressed me about Rob Davies’ Patriots against GHS was their willingness to play outside the box, or if you prefer, the stodgy old book, with trick plays and unconventional calls. Also, the tough running of sophomore Torrie Davis and the desire of senior quarterback Austin Moreno to keep getting up and throwing the ball after he got slobber-knocked. It’s a tough task for both the Patriots and Eagles, but it would be great if they both ran the table over the final three weeks of the regular season. Galen@SportsTX.com

GHS, EV Girls To Open Hoops Practice By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor
Georgetown and East View’s girls basketball teams will open extended practice for the upcoming season on Wednesday. The Lady Eagles hope to earn their 26th consecutive trip to the state playoffs under veteran coach Rhonda Farney. The Lady Patriots will try to return to the playoffs under coach Dave Walla after barely missing out last season. The Lady Eagles reached the Region IV-5A finals before being eliminated one step short of the UIL State Tournament by District 25-5A rival Vista Ridge, ending a 31-6 campaign that included a tie for second place with Cedar Park with an 11-3 mark. East View, which finished in a three-way tie for fourth at 6-8, dropped a 60-47 decision to Leander in a play-in game for the playoff spot after the Lady Lions had ousted Dripping Springs in the first contest of the play-in tournament. Walla directed the Lady Patriots to the second-round of the playoffs in 2014. Both GHS and EV are expected to reach the playoffs this season. Despite the loss of five key seniors, the Lady Eagles are expected to challenge Vista Ridge and Cedar Park again for the 25-5A title. The Lady Patriots are picked fourth with a solid group of returnees. The Lady Eagles and Lady Patriots will open their seasons on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The Lady Eagles will visit Class 6A Waco Midway and the Lady Patriots also will be on the road at 6A Round Rock Westwood. The 14-game 25-5A double round-robin will begin on Dec. 8 and end on Feb. 9. GHS and EV are scheduled to play on the GHS LADY EAGLES SCHEDULE October

Lady Patriots’ court on Jan. 12 and at the Lady Eagles’ digs on Feb. 5. Georgetown will play in three tournaments -- Conroe Tigerette Classic (Nov. 12-14), its own Jack Frost Invitational (Dec. 3-5) and Bertha Teague Classic (Dec. 28-30) at Ada, Okla. East View will compete in two -- Corpus Christi ISD Tournament (Nov. 12-14) and the Jack Frost Invitational, which will be played this year in two gyms at GHS and Southwestern University’s Robertson Gym. “For the first time since I have been at Georgetown, we will not at least initially have a freshman or
sophomore on the varsity,” said Farney, who has directed the Lady Eagles to the UIL State Tournament four times since 2003, including winning the 4A crown in 2013. “Rather, we will have five juniors and five seniors. The team is extremely close and the feel is very intimate since our numbers are smaller. All ten players can play and will contribute.” The juniors are Katy Brandenburg, Deonna Day, Brooke and Taylor Elliott, and Taylor Green; and the seniors are transfer Doriana Brown, Kendrick Clark, Sandi Harris, Avery Kelly and Ashley Wickline. Clark, the returning team
MVP, was a Texas Association of Basketball Coaches 5A All-State pick and the 25-5A defensive player of the year as a junior. Guards Brooke Elliott and Green were second-team all-district picks. “We will miss our class of 2015 (Amanda Johnson, Taylor LaCour, Maddie Anderson, Hayley White and Stephanie Sovereen),” Farney said. “They set the bar extremely high. “Our 2015-2016 version of the Lady Eagles should be deep and physically strong. They have the potential to be a very good team. Of course, that is relative to the high level of competition in 25-5A, arguably the toughest district in the state. East View will have their best team yet and Dripping Spring, Vandy, and Leander’s players will be a year older. As always, Cedar Park and Vista Ridge will be among the elite teams in the state. Both are highly ranked state teams. “One thing is for sure, we are ready to scrimmage someone besides ourselves and find out where we are. It’s no fun this time of year when you are “offensing your defense and defensing your offense.” The Lady Eagles will scrimmage Westwood on Oct. 31 and then have a three-way test with Round Rock Cedar Ridge and Austin Anderson on Nov. 7. East View returns four starters from last year’s team. The Lady Patriots are led by top returning scorer and rebounder -- senior Abby Holland, a threetime all-district first-team selection as a freshman and sophomore in 17-4A and last year in 25-5A. Holland averaged 13.1 points and 7.6 rebounds a game last year. The starting backcourt is talented and experienced with first-team all-district

selections -- two-year starter junior Emily Daniel and sophomore Diamond Morrison -- returning. Daniel is the Lady Patriots’ second-leading scorer and top outside shooting threat. Second-team all-district and school single-season blocked shot record holder Rachel Wisian, a sophomore, returns at center position. Wisian blocked 80 shots as a freshman. Junior post Keely Wallace and senior post-wing Lina Mendoza are additional returning players with varsity experience. “Picked by the district coaches to finish fourth, the Lady Patriots will need to find production from these
