Brown-Led Cougars Rip Panthers 47-25

by Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor

Maypearl had serious hand problems this past Friday night in its Region III-3A Division II bi-district battle with unbeaten Jarrell.

The Panthers couldn’t hold onto the football, turning it over five times, or contain Cougars’ senior quarterback Tony Brown, who rambled back and forth over Bulldog Stadium in McGregor for five touchdowns and 361 yards on 38 carries.

The result was a 47-25 victory by the Cougars (11-0), who move on to play Crockett (8-3) in an area-round playoff at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Groesbeck on the same field where the Bulldogs bested Lexington, 48-14, in their bi-district game.

Friday’s Jarrell-Crockett survivor will move into the third round of the playoffs against either Dublin (5-6) or Corrigan-Camden (7-4). The Lions, who lost to Jarrell in the ninth game of the regular

The Georgetown Eagles kept the keys to Austin Reagan’s high-octane car out of the Raiders’ hands for the first 46 minutes and 30 seconds of this past Thursday night’s Region IV-5A Division II bi-district game at the GISD Athletic Complex, and in so doing bounced Reagan, 44-17.

The Eagle defense held Regan’s Car -Mulbah Car, to be exact, to just 65 yards on his first 20 carries as GHS rode a 44-10 advantage into the final three minutes of the contest. However, on his final carry, the all-time leading career rusher in Austin ISD history broke a 53-yard run to terminate the evening’s scoring.

Previously, the GHS defense had only allowed the University of Houston commit to one double-digit gain -- 11 yards -while holding him to 3 or fewer yards on 12 of his 21 carries. Car finished with a game-high 118 yards on 21 assignments.

The victory did bounce the Eagles (8-3) into the area round of the Division II playoffs against Boerne Champion (8-3). The Chargers smashed previously unbeaten San Antonio Sam Houston, 52-22, this past Friday in on their home turf in Boerne.

The GHS-Champion winner will advance to the third round of the playoffs against either Corpus Christi Calallen (9-2) or Mission Sharyland (7-4) next week.

The Wildcats and Rattlers will collide at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Javelina Stadium in Kingsville.

Champion, a team averaging 45.8 points and 534.5 yards a game (232.9 on the ground and 301.6 in the air), has a super-powered vehicle of its own in senior quarterback Josh Green, a 6-foot-2, 200-pounder with 4.5 speed. He has rushed 129 times for 974 yards and 17 touchdowns, and completed 183 of 284 passes for 2,718 yards and 32 touchdowns. In 11 games, he’s accounted for 49 touchdowns and 3,692 yards.

In the victory over Sam Houston, he turned the 28-5A champion Hurricanes into a docil South Texas breeze with 341 of the Chargers’ 511 yards.

“They have a really good quarterback who is a lot like Johnny Manzell on the field,” GHS coach Jason Dean said. “He’s most dangerous when he scrambles. Our first defensive priority will be to contain him and keep him in the pocket. He will put pressure on our guys on the edge.”

The District 27-5A runners-up also have a high-average running back in Isaac Murdock (111 carries for 845 yards), and productive receivers in junior Chayce Bolli (64 catches for 1,044 yards) and Hayden Mcmurray (52 for 718 yards).

Looking at Champion as a whole, Dean said, “They remind me a lot of us. They do a good job with their 4-2-5 defense and they go with an up-tempo spread on offense. We’re going to have to control the Eagles on Page B8

Honors Continue For SU Coach

By Jon Whittemore Advocate Correspondent

It’s an old adage in sports that: “Those who can … do; and those who can’t… coach.” This statement is absolutely untrue in the case of Southwestern University’s head track/cross country coach Francie Larrieu Smith.

Smith, whose nationally and internationally acclaimed track career spanned four decades and five U.S. presidents, could DO, and now DOES coach others to DO also.

She began coaching at Southwestern in 1999 which was the same year she began her M.Ed. in Sports Administration from UT-Austin. Her cross country coaching successes at Southwestern include: she has coached three athletes to the NCAA Cross Country Championships; had South/Southeast Region qualifiers 21 times; and trained All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Confer-

ence (SCAC) honorees 24 times. As the track and field coach, she has coached athletes to 28 individual SCAC Championship titles and countless athletes to All-SCAC honors.

Among the many personal accolades on her impressive resume are: named AIAW All-American Cross Country representing UCLA in 1974; a five-time Olympian (1972,1976, 1980, 1988 and 1992), set 35 U.S. distance records, competed on 28 national teams and won 21 national titles, named to the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame (1998), named by Runner’s World magazine the “Most Versatile Runner of the Quarter Century” (1999), and was recently named to the PAC-12 Conference’s All-Century Team for women’s cross country.

“Every honor that I’ve received has been an unexpected delight,” Smith said. “As an athlete, when you compete, you don’t think about these kinds of

Southwestern’s cross country / track coach Francie Larrieu Smith remains active in several athletic disciplines. things. But later on in life, when you are recognized for your accomplishments, it is humbling and a great honor.”

The Palo Alto, California native began running at age 13.

“There was no Title IX emphasis on equal opportunity for boys and girls back in the 60’s,” she explained.

“The availability of sports competition for girls was

pretty limited. I credit my parents for finding a place for me to compete as a kid . . . and my brother (1964 Olympic distance runner Ron Larrieu) for introducing me to the sport.

Interscholastic high school sports programs for girls were extremely limited, but I found the sport right for me.

“As late as 1968, the longest Olympic event for

women was 800 meters.

The 1,500 was added in 1972 and the marathon, 400-meter hurdles, and 3,000-meter run in 1984,” recited the virtual track encyclopedia. “The 10K was added in 1988 and the 3K was changed to a 5K in 1996. The landscape for women’s athletics in track changed exponentially during those years. The opportunity for college scholarships increased dramatically.”

“I loved to run, and I was good at it,” Smith continued. “I never had any injuries over the years. Just did what my coaches asked of me and didn’t have any particular ‘burnout’ because my motivation was intrinsic. No one was making me try hard (extrinsic motivation) and be good, I had my own motivation.”

Smith occasionally still runs but after the thousands of miles of training and competition over the years, she prefers to stay in shape through other exercise pro-

grams. She swims some, stays busy coaching her teams, and serves on the board of the Georgetown Running Club.

She has been quoted as saying, “The most important thing about motivation is goal setting. You should always have a goal. Motivation has to come from within. I make up my mind to shoot for the moon. Even if I don’t make it, I’ll still be among the stars.”

As one of the most decorated athletes in U.S. track and field history, it would seem her recipe for success works pretty well and is something she is instilling in her current stable of athletes. She had one woman (individual competitor), and a five-man team headed to the South/ Southeast Regional Cross Country meet in Virginia this past Saturday. High placing competitors there will advance to NCAA Division III nationals.

SU Falls To TLU In Season Finale

by Galen Wellnicki

the arc (4-20), but scored 40 points in the paint.

Southwestern will travel to Austin on Tuesday for an exhibition contest against Division II St. Edward’s. They then start a three-game homestand of 7 p.m. games -- Hardin-Simmons on Thursday, UT-Tyler on Saturday, and Mary Hardin-Baylor on Monday.

Sports Editor

Playing for a berth in the NCAA Division III playoffs and the Southern College Athletic Conference championship, No. 18 Texas Lutheran University swept past Southwestern University, 58-3, on a rainy Saturday night at the GISD Athletic Complex.

The victory improved the Bulldogs to 8-2 on the season, and gave the Bulldogs a third straight SCAC title with a 3-0 mark, while SU completed its third season since returning to collegiate football competition with 2-8 season and 0-3 conference records.

Despite the one-sided score against the Pirates and its national ranking, TLU did not receive a bid to the playoffs.

With running back Marquis Barrolle and A.J. Saucedo each scoring three rushing touchdowns, TLU rolled up 601 total yards -- 346 rushing and 255 passing. Barrolle scored on runs of 2, 2 and 53 yards, while Saucedo found the end zone on jaunts of 1, 2 and 78 yards.

Saucedo led all rushers with 145 yards on 14 carries, and Barrolle chipped in 106 yards in 13 attempts.

The Bulldogs rolled to a 31-0 lead in the first half on the strength of 24 points in the second period. TLU pushed the lead to 51-0 after three quarters, and upped the count to 58-0 with 11 minutes and 59 seconds remaining in the game.

Southwestern, which managed 256 yards on 63 snaps, finally scored with 8:21 remaining on a 24-yard field goal by Laith Tucker.

The Pirates hurt themselves with penalties, being flagged 13 times for 134 yards -- more than half of their total offensive figure.

SU junior quarterback Bryan Hicks, a junior from Humble Atascocita, led the Pirates with 183 yards on 16 completions in 37 attempts. Markell Henderson, a freshman from Texas Military Institute in San Antonio, led SU runners with 61 yards on 13 carries.

Southwestern’s 2-8 mark gives it a 3-26 record during the first three seasons of coach Joe Austin’s campaign to rebuild a program that was discontinued after the 1951 season.

The Pirates’ Taylor Fann, a junior defensive end, led all tacklers with seven unassisted stops. Former Georgetown Eagles standout Matt McCullough had three unassisted tackles for the Bulldogs.

The start of the game was delayed 35 minutes because of lightning, and was played in periods of light to moderate rain.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL The Pirates got the season off to slow start by losing both games on an East Texas swing this past weekend. SU dropped a 69-66 decision to East Texas Baptist in Marshall on Friday, and lost to LeTourneau, 54-44, in Longview on Saturday.

The highlight of the trip was a career-high 30-point performance by Junior Olivia Podaras, a 5-8 product from Houston Memorial, in the ETBU game.

She made 12 of 21 from the floor (2 of 5 3-pointers) and 4 of 4 from the line. The Tigers’ April Leonard matched her effort with 30 points.

Audrey Garcia had 10 rebounds for the Pirates who shot 38 percent from the floor, but out-rebounded the hosts.

In the loss to LeTourneau, Madison Edwards, a 5-9 forward from Trophy Club Byron Nelson, scored 13 points and had 10 rebounds. Garcia and Podaras each added 10 points. Podtras also had 13 rebounds.

SU aided in its downfall, shooting only 26.1 percent from the floor, 33 percent from the line, and made 21 turnovers. They did post a 57-49 rebounding edge.

The Pirates will play UT-Tyler in their home opener at 6 p.m. Friday in Robertson Gym.

Russell Rinn / Advocate Southwestern’s Bryan Hicks threw for 183 yards Saturday in a losing effort for the Pirates against Texas Lutheran. from Highlands Ranch, Colo. was honored prior to the game and at halftime as the team’s only senior.

MEN’S BASKETBALL The SU men rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit to upend Howard Payne, 82-73, in the season opener this past Friday at Robertson Center.

The Pirates trailed 57-43 with 10:53 remaining in the contest. Southwestern then reeled off a 17-3 run, capped by a pair of Chris Lee free throws, to pull even at 65-all with 5:05 to play.

Two free throws by Karrey Sanders put

SU up 67-66 from which point the Pirates never looked back, pushing their lead to 76-69 on a Ryan Ogden layup with 1:39 remaining.

However, HPU scored four straight points to pull within three, but Zach Whitlock was fouled on a layup and hit the free throw to put the Bucs up 79-73. Chris Molina added two free throws and Ogden added one more to cap the scoring.

Whitlock led all scorers with 23 points, while Ogden tallied a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Lee and Ben Stiver registered 13 points apiece.

The Pirates only hit 20 percent beyond

VOLLEYBALL The Pirates’ dream of a climb up the NCAA Division III playoff ladder ended abruptly Friday in Thousand Oaks, Calif., as No. 12 SU (31-5) was swept by No. 7 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (27-5) in the opening round of the West Regional Tournament on the campus of California Lutheran. SU was seeded fourth and C-M-S was fifth.

Claremont-Mudd-Scripps dominated 3-0 (25-14, 25-16, 25-17).

The Athenas combined to hit at .467 clip with just seven errors on 107 swings, including a .545 third-set showing. On the flip side, Southwestern managed a .221 team hitting percentage highlighted by a final set .342 with 14 kills and a single miscue, but was unable to overcome a slow start.

C-M-R’s Margaux-Arntson posted a .867 hitting average (14 of 15).

Lady Eagles Win Final 3 At Conroe

Pats Shine At Texas Riviera

by Galen Wellnicki

By Allan Shiflet Advocate Correspondent

Sports Editor

Georgetown, eighthranked among the state’s 5A girls teams by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches, won three of five games during the first week of the season, and coach Rhonda Farney was pleased with the showing made by her team, especially in the 67th annual Tigerette Classic in Conroe.

The Lady Eagles, Region IV-5A finalists a year ago, opened the campaign on Tuesday, Nov. 10, with a somewhat disappointing 58-36 loss to Waco Midway on the Pantherettes’ hardwoods, and then moved over to the Southeast Texas Lake Country for four games.

GHS got off to a slow start in the 16-team event, losing to talented Lufkin, 46-41, in their opener this past Thursday before battling back to win the consolation title with a 5225 win over Aldine Nimitz on Friday, and back-toback victories over Humble Summer Creek, 50-39, and Bryan, 55-40, on Saturday.

The Lady Eagles are only scheduled to play one game this week; their home opener against 6A Pflugerville on Tuesday night.

After taking the weekend away from competition,

ranked Nimitz was similar, but GHS got started quicker after trailing 14-10 at the end of the first period.

The Lady Eagles tightened their defense and held the Mustangs to 2 points in the second quarter, 4 in the third, and 5 in the fourth.

Day had 14 points and eight rebounds, and senior Kendrick Clark added 13 points.

“We played extremely well on Saturday,” Farney

The East View girls basketball team had a very productive first week, winning four of six games, including the consolation title of Mira’s Texas Riviera Tournament in Corpus Christi this past Thursday through Saturday.

Their only loss in the Costal Bend event came at the hands of a strong Schertz Clemens team, 4945, as a 3-point effort for a possible win by standout Abby Holland missed.

“We were down two with 30 seconds to Clemens,” Patriots coach Dave Walla said. “Abby’s shot glanced off the front iron with a 3 to win it. We then fouled and lost by 4. They beat us by 30 last year at this event. The kids played great, especially Abby, Emily (Daniel), and Rachel (Wisian).”

In other tournament games the Patriots defeated San Antonio Highlands, 6131; Corpus Christi Moody, 71-51; El Paso Franklin, 38-2; and San Antonio Taft, 49-45, in overtime to win the consolation bracket.

East View was down by 6 in overtime before storming back to win by 4. Holland led all scorers, pouring in

“It was a great experience,” Farney said of the Tigerette Classic. “We played four very athletic -big and fast -- teams. They were carbon copies of each other. They allowed us to play some very physical basketball. We got better with every game we played.”

Farney pointed to another benefit of the Conroe trip.

Georgetown was defeated by top-ranked Dripping Springs in straight sets 25-22, 25-16 and 25-13, eliminating the Lady Eagles from the 5A state playoffs in a Region IV-5A quarterfinal played before a large, boisterous crowd at the Delco Center on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

The Lady Eagles, who placed fourth in 25-5A, finished with a 29-18 record, while Dripping Springs (49-3) advanced through the Region IV-5A Tournament to advance to the UIL State Tournament this Friday and Saturday at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland.

Senior Maddie Douglas helped the Eagles to several leads in the first set before going down hard late in set with an ankle injury, forcing her to exit the match and crippling the GHS attack. The Lady Eagles were down 24-21 at the time of the injury, but were rallying.

The first set was a tense back-and-forth battle with Douglas contributing a monster kill to open the GHS scoring and “touch” kill to an open area to give the Eagles a 10-9 lead. Big blocks by Douglas and fellow standout Caroline Furrier tied the set at 1212. Another touch kill by Emily Ellis put GHS in front again at 15-14. Ellis started a comeback with another kill followed by a key block by Camryn McGinnis to tighten the score to 24-20. Douglas had a big-swing kill to bring the score to 24-21. The Eagles scored again, but fell in a well-played first set 25-22.

After GHS fell behind in the second set, Furrier started a rally with an incredible dig. Zoe Saavedra was all over the court with digs and sets, but the for-

Caroline Furrer returns a shot by Dripping Springs during the Lady Eagles’ Region IV-5A quarterfinals Tuesday night. midable Dripping Springs front line were just too much for the Eagles after they lost Douglas.

“We were playing great the first set,” GHS coach Jenny Richardson said.

“We took control of our offense and were blocking well, then Maddie went down with an ankle injury.

We just never recovered.

I’m proud of this season.

I’m proud of these girls.

I’m devastated that these girls have to graduate, I wish I had four more years with my seniors.”

Heavy-hitting Morgyn Greer led Dripping Springs to its third win over the season over GHS with 18 kills. Madison Green had 46 assists.

For the Lady Eagles, Shayleigh Haas had eight kills, and Furrer added seven. Riane Pope had 12 assists, and Georgia Quiroz added seven. McGinnis had five blocks, and Furrer had six digs, followed by five each from Haas, Saavedra, and Quiroz.

The Tigers will play Canyon Randall (42-6) at 2 p.m. in the state semifinals Friday, and either Lucas Lovejoy (436) or Richmond George Ranch (41-7) in Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. state finals.

East View, Georgetown Boys Open Play

By Jon Whittemore

Advocate Correspondent

The Patriots and Eagles are preparing for the rapidly approaching tipoff of basketball season and both coaches Jason Jones at East View and Russell Miller at Georgetown took a few minutes this past weekend to assess the start of the season.

East View opens its 2015-16 campaign with trips to Hutto on Tuesday and San Marcos on Monday, Nov. 11, before participating in the annual Jack Frost Tournament hosted in Georgetown on Dec. 3-5. The Patriots’ first game in the Jack Frost Tourney will be against Round Rock Westwood at 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 3.

“Hutto is still in football right now, but they will be athletic and play good defense,” said Jones, who is starting his first season as East View’s head coach. “Their coach has had a lot of success

GHS, FROM PAGE B3

during his career, so I know that they’ll be competitive.

“San Marcos? I’ve not even thought about. We’ve been more concerned with getting ourselves ready and getting our own house in order than we have in worrying about what others are going to do.”

Jones is happy with what he’s seen early. “Our guys got out of football this week, and I’m really impressed with the athleticism of the group,” he said. “Our numbers are up. There’s lots of participation. They’ve come in willing to put in the time needed to be successful, and they’ve been willing to work.”

Among others, those expected to see significant playing time early on the varsity level are Zion Hester (5-9, fr.), Justin Derr (6-1, jr.), Quinn Stewart (6-2, sr.), Donald Walton (6-0, soph.), Cray Steger (6-6, sr.), and Dylan Derr

(6-4, sr.).

The Patriots were 3-11 in District 25-5A play last year.

Wes King is the assistant coach.

At Georgetown

The Eagles tipoff their season against all 6A opponents. They open up on the road on Tuesday against Round Rock McNeil, which boasts a University of Houston commit and a nationally touted junior classman. On Friday, they travel to Round Rock Stony Point and then to Austin Westlake High on Monday before finally playing their home opener against Westwood High on Monday, Nov. 30. Their first game in the 37th annual prestigious Jack Frost Tournament is against Belton at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 3.

“It’s all about getting ready for district play,” Miller said. “It

doesn’t matter who we play or how many we win early in the season. We’re concerned with how we play (in district) and doing what we need to do to get better. It is all about preparation.”

Since Georgetown is still in the football playoffs and many of the expected contributors to the basketball team play both sports, Miller will be playing a little short-handed until the football players can make it to the gym.

He has said he has as many as eight players still in football.

“It’s a great time for players to get some court time against good competition and to see where we are,” continued Miller.

“I’ve been really impressed with the maturity and leadership of this group,” he said. “Our motto this year involves the ideas of ‘brotherhood’ and ‘family’ and ‘shoulder-to-shoulder’ effort.

This group has great chemistry.”

EV, FROM PAGE B3

Russell Rinn / Advocate

said. “We played Summer Creek at 10:30 and came back against Bryan (in the consolation final) with just a one-game break.

Bryan is young, but I can’t remember playing a team as quick and deep as they are. They will be very good before the season is over.”

The 6-foot-1 Day had 11 points and 10 rebounds, while sophomore guard Brooke Elliott added 10 points against Summer Creek. In the Bryan contest, Day had 18 points and eight rebounds, while Clark added 10 points and six rebounds. Senior Dori Brown did not play in the Bryan game because of illness.

In the season opener with Midway, GHS ran afoul of several things including a talented 6A district favorite.

“They played very well and we got in foul trouble early (Day and Clark),” Farney said of a game in which the Lady Eagles turned the ball over 25 times, were called for 25 fouls, and shot just 11 of 38 (28.9 percent) from the floor.

Despite being one of five Lady Eagles with four or more fouls, Day led the Eagles with 12 points.

“I thought Brooke played extremely well,” Farney said. “She was a warrior out there.”

As for the Pflugerville game, Farney said, “More of the same for us. They have very good shooters. They lost to Vista Ridge by one (65-64) in the semifinals of Austin Bowie’s Be-YOU-tiful Classic. They are capable of putting up a lot of points if you let them play their game.”

Expected to get minutes early in the season for the four-guard, one-post Eagles are: Zac Kepner (6-6, jr.), Kaden Herbert (6-2, jr.), Jeff Williams (6-6, soph.), Brock Gonzales (sr.), Matt Taparauskas (5-9, soph.), and Logan Lester (6-6, sr.).

“We haven’t really picked starters yet,” Miller said. “I just say ‘give me five’ and a group takes the court. They know that they earn their minutes by how they play.”

The Eagles won 19 games last year, but bowed out in the first round of the playoffs with a sophomore-heavy team. They are bigger and more experienced this year.

Assisting Miller will be Mike Porter (JV), Nathaniel Funk (Frosh A), and Tim Knicky (Frosh B).

Funk and Knicky also are on the football staff.

28 points with sophomore post Rachel Wisian adding 19, while Daniel contributed seven steals.

In the Patriots’ season opener at ranked 6-A Round Rock Westwood they played very well, jumping out to 9-2 lead, playing the favored Warriors to a standstill, but ultimately losing 60-56.

The Pats trailed 28-25 at the half of the hardfought game, but closed the gap with Daniel stealing and scoring a bucket late in the third quarter to tie the game at 38-38. With Westwood leading in the fourth quarter, senior Lina Mendoza made a free throw to bring the Patriots within 2 at 55-53. Holland canned a 3-pointer with an assist from Diamond Morrison to cut the Westwood margin to 58-56.

“Our four returning starters all played well, with our younger players struggling a bit with the pressure,” Walla said. “Abby stood out with her overall game, scoring, rebounding and stealing the ball.”

Holland led the scoring with 17 points and rebounds with seven.

“Rachel was solid with her rebounding and scoring,” Walla said.

Wisian had 12 points and five offensive rebounds.

“Our reserves contributed well,” Walla added.

“Lena Mendoza had 9 points and was very disruptive on defense.

Kim Jones played well, making good court decisions and also drained a 3 for us.”

Daniel also had a solid game with four steals and four assists, while contributing 6 points.

Paighton Corley added 6 points off the bench.

After playing Liberty Hill in their home opener on Tuesday night, East View will take to the road again for a 6 p.m. Friday game with Belton. They will play at Hutto at 7 p.m. this coming Monday.

East View will stage its own JV and freshman tournament this coming Thursday and Saturday.

Note: East View varsity boxscores unavailable.

Big Day For G-town

Georgetown’s Dee Day scored 55 points and pulled down 30 rebounds during the Lady Eagles foray in the 67th annual Tigerette Classic in Conroe this past weekend.

The Cougars won the bi-district matchup 47-25.

COUGARS, FROM PAGE B1 season, and Bulldogs will meet at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Buffalo.

It was a monumental, if not historic, victory for the Cougars. It was their first victory in the playoffs since 2001.

“It’s an awesome feeling to get this win,” Jarrell coach Jeremy Beutler said.

“My hat is off to these kids.

They played with a chip on their shoulder. We have a veteran team that was oneand-done in the playoffs the last two years.”

With Brown producing touchdown scampers of 2, 1, 53, 52 and 22 yards, it could put the Cougars into a position where it’s one-and-much more. His rushing total would have been higher if not for a bad snap that resulted in a double-digit loss, and three kneel-downs at the end of the game. Brown also had a 30-yard scoring run nullified in the second quarter by a penalty.

“I just saw the holes, and the offensive line did a great job of opening them up for me,” said Brown, who had 15 runs of 8 yards or better. “We watched film daily and hourly, and we had a feeling we could do what we did.”

What they did on the ground was effective.

Jarrell only passed the ball twice with one completion -- a 3-yarder to Hunter Lonas -- on the 13th snap of the first quarter.

“Actually, I thought we would have to throw the ball a whole lot more,” Beutler said. “But if I can run the ball, I’m going to put it in the best quarterback in the state’s hands and let him run it.”

The ball-hawking Jarrell defense also performed well, recovering four fumbles and getting a pass interception from Tucker Sansom. The Panthers worked their 67 plays for 303 yards, but 105 of those yards came on three of their four touchdowns.

In fact, all four of Maypearl’s touchdowns came on big plays -- a 52 -yard keeper by quarterback Gunner Petty on the final play of the first half; a 40-yard pass from Petty to Cole Maxwell in the third; and a 13-yard run by Connor Malone in the third quarter.

Chase Reheer returned a kickoff 87 yards in the final quarter.

Petty led the Maypearl attack with 94 yards rushing, and 105 yards passing.

Jarrell led 7-0 after the first period, 27-7 at the half, and 40-19 after three quarters. The Panthers made their strongest showing in the third period, getting off 31 snaps compared to five for the Cougars.

The Cougars’ other points came on a 2-yard run by Chris Bannon, a 52-yard fumble return by Dorian Cole, and five extra points by Hector Guerrero.

Michael Schwertner and Lonas also came up with loose balls for Jarrell.

Maypearl finished its season with a 4-7 record.

In Crockett, which is riding a four-game winning streak, Jarrell will face a team averaging 35.2 points and 336 yards a game.

The Bulldogs have beaten Garrison, Hemphill, Deweyville and Lexington since losing to Newton, 38-35, on Oct. 16. The prime weapon is quarterback Case Robinson, who has completed 148 of 228 passes for 2,201 yards and 30 touchdowns, and rushed 90 times for 445 yards. De’Anthony Epps has rushed for 672 yards on 67 carries; and A.J. Phillips has caught 59 passes and has scored 24 all-purpose touchdowns.

Grimble’s 4 TD’s Lead GHS Victory

By Jon Whittemore Advocate Correspondent

Russell Rinn / Advocate Senior Jo’vonta Grimble scored four touchdowns while racking up 155 receiving yards in Thursday’s playoff win.

EAGLES, FROM PAGE B1 ball, using our short passing game.

If we can protect the ball, eliminate turnover, we have a good chance to be successful.”

Champions’ defense is led by linebacker Trey Moskai and safety Kaden Beavers. Moskai was Texas Football magazine’s preseason defensive player of the year in 27-5A and is the team’s leading tackler.

Dean said the Eagles, winners of five of their last six games, would be in good physical shape for the Champion contest.

As for the win over Reagan, which finished 7-4, Dean said, “I felt we played ugly on offense. We struggled to run the ball for most of the game, but our receivers (Jo’vonta Grimble and Beau Corrales) were able to get open. The defense did a great job not giving up the big play, which has been one of our problems.”

The Eagles only turned the ball over once, and that was on their first possession when they fumbled the ball at the Reagan 8 after driving to the 12.

by Jose Jaimes.

The Eagles pushed the lead to 24-3 at the half with touchdown passes of 10 and 40 yards from Herman to Grimble that were sandwiched around a 23-yard field goal by Diaz, who increased the advantage to 27-3 with a 38-yard field goal in the third.

In a busy fourth period, Car opened scoring on a 4-yard run and finished with his 53-yard dash.

Between the two, GHS scored on a 36-yard pass from Herman to Grimble, a 10-yard run by Jamel Powell, and a 29-yard field goal by Diaz.

Georgetown finished with 315 total yards (86 rushing and 229 passing). Herman passed for 229 yards on 13 completions in 22 attempts; Grimble caught eight passes for 155 yards; and Dakota Cahill rushed 10 times for 50 yards.

Sophomore Caden Leggett intercepted a pass for the Eagles, who did not have to punt in the contest.

In addition to Leggett, GHS defensive coordinator David Patterson

After struggling to get to the UIL playoffs, Georgetown had little trouble dispatching Austin Reagan, the 26-5A runner-up in the bi-district round this past Thursday at the GISD Athletic Complex. The final score was 44-17, and the ultimate outcome probably was not as close as even that score would indicate.

The Raiders completed less than half of their passes (10-22) for a meager 108 yards. They did rush for 179 yards, but almost a third of those yards came on one play – a 53 yard touchdown burst by Mulbah Car (21 for 118 yds). Carr is committed to the University of Houston.

The gritty and recently resurgent Raiders -- back in playoffs for second year in a row after being shutout for more than a decade -- did play strong defense for most of the game, holding the Eagles to only 86 yards rushing on 24 attempts. Their ball-control, grind-it-out offense chewed up the clock, and limited Georgetown to only 46 offensive plays.

However, as the score indicates, the Eagles made the most of their limited offensive opportunities with senior receiver Jo’Vonta Grimble (6-2, 195) having another outstanding game.

Grimble led the team in receiving this year, and finished the regular season with 67 catches for 964 yards which placed him first in the official District 25-5A regular-season statistics.

In this first playoff game, he caught eight of QB Chandler Herman’s passes for 155 yards. Herman -- in what for him was an under his standard performance -- completed 13 of 22 for the night, but did get credit for 229 yards (17.6 per completion). Grimble carried four of his eight catches into the end zone, bringing his season touchdown total to 14.

“It felt great,” the affable wideout said. “They were in man coverage most of the night, and coach (Kyle) Gandy has taught us what to do to get open. Huge ‘shout-out’ to all the coaches and the other players. We were just doing our assignments.”

When asked about his fumble on the opening series (the usually sure-handed Grimble was stripped at the 4-yard line going into the end zones on the Eagles’ opening possession), he commented, “The fumble brought me down a little, but you have to get over it.

I had to recover (mentally), or it would have affected me the whole game. I forgot all about it and was able to score on our next offensive play.”

Georgettes support the Grimble passed along the Eagles praise.

“I’ve got to give great credit to our quarterback Chandler Herman. He finds us when we get open whether we are the first option or one of the check downs,” Grimble said. “I didn’t think that I’d be in a position to score four TDs in a playoff game, but I’m happy it happened.”

The Eagles were absent from the playoffs last season despite sporting the exact same season and District 25-5A win-loss totals (7-3, 4-3).

Reflecting on that situation, Grimble added, “We think about that group of guys (last year’s seniors) all the time.

We want to win as many as we can to honor them, their effort and their leadership. They didn’t get to go past the regular season, so we’re playing for them, too.”

Every team has its ‘home run’ hitters that excite the crowd. These are players who could (or can) change the course of a game in one play. For the New York Yankees, it was Ruth or Mantle, et. al. For the Chicago Bulls, it was Jordan. For the Dallas Cowboys, it was first Hayes then Irvin and now Bryant. The OKC Thunder have their Westbrook and Durant.

GHS has a ‘home run hitter’ in Jo’Vonta Grimble. On the year, he has 19 catches of at least 15 yards, and many more catches in the 10-14 yard range. Some were long passes that he simply caught, and some were short passes that he turned into longer plays with runs-after-the-catch efforts.

He has touchdowns of 98 yards (against Hays Consolidated) and 84 yards (against Pflugerville) on his receiving resume, and has now accomplished three multiple TD games. Grimble is a player that opposing coaches have to game-plan against because of his individual size, speed and skill set.

Sometimes it is that one play that can make the difference in winning and losing. Star athletes step up when it is their time to shine. With this win, Grimble and his teammates have earned at least one more chance to polish the luster on this season’s record.
