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
