GHS Playoff Hopes Alive GHS Beats DS, 44-37

Explaining it is as easy as pie, but executing it might be tougher than a secondary cut of meat from a 20-year-old longhorn steer.

Georgetown failed to claim the 11 or more positive points it wanted to earn during this past Saturday’s severe-weather-delayed District 25-5A battle with Dripping Springs at the GISD Athletic Complex. However, the Eagles’ 44-37 victory over the Tigers kept their playoff hopes alive.

Two things must happen if the Eagles are to join Cedar Park, Vandegrift and Vista Ridge in the UIL’s postseason party -- 128 teams broken into two 64-school brackets on the basis of enrollment. If the Eagles advance, they will be in the smallschool division.

For this to happen, GHS (3-3, 6-3) must beat Vandegrift (5-1, 8-1) in a 7:30 p.m.

Friday meeting at Monroe Stadium and at the same time Dripping Springs (2-4, 4-5) must down Leander (3-3, 4-5) at Tiger Stadium.

The Eagles cannot finish in a two-way tie with Leander at 4-3 because of the Lions’ 34-24 head-to-head victory in the district opener, or in a three-way tie with Leander and Dripping Springs because they do not have enough positive points.

Going into the final week, Leander has 10, GHS 7, and Dripping Springs 0.

So much for the pie − now to the boot-leather steak that requires a hacksaw to cut. Vandegrift has won 21 of its last 25 games, and reached the 5A Division I state semifinals last year before being ousted by state runner-up, Temple, 76-35. They have one of the state’s best weapons in elusive running back Travis Brannan, who is averaging 9.2 yards a carry with 1,547 yards on 169 carries for 21 touchdowns. He missed the Vipers’ one-sided win over East View.

He has rushed for 4,232 yards and 63 touchdowns as a junior and senior.

The Vipers do have a bit of an Achilles’ heel, however. In games against their three toughest district rivals to date, Vandegrift has given up an average of 52.7 points a start. The Eagles do have a tendency to hang points on the board with the construction firm of Cahill, Herman, Grimble and Corrales.

GHS Cross Country Teams Bid for State Honors

By Galen Wellnicki

Despite going against what are expected to be extremely strong fields, Georgetown’s boys and girls will enter the 5,000-meter Class 5A finals of the UIL State Cross Country Meet on Saturday at Old Settler’s Park in Round Rock with confidence and optimism.

The Eagles hope to equal or better last year’s bronze medal showing at state with

Lady Eagles Begin Playoff Run

By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor

Georgetown (27-17) opened its bid in the 128team Class 5A state volleyball playoffs in the second half of a bi-district doubleheader at Pflugerville Hendrickson on Tuesday night.

The Lady Eagles, fourthplace finishers in rugged 25-5A with a 9-5 mark, faced 26-5A champion Bastrop (32-11), which rolled through its district campaign with an 18-0 record and did not lose a set during its final six matches.

The twinbill opened at 6 p.m. with Cedar Park, the third-place team in 255A, going against 26-5A runner-up Bastrop Cedar Creek.

If coach Jenny Richardson’s Lady Eagles downed Bastrop, ranked 15th in 5A by the Texas Girls Coaches Association, they will play either 27-5A runner-up Boerne Champion or San Antonio Highlands, the third-place team in 28-5A, in the area playoffs later in this week. Highlands and San Antonio Harlandale tied for second in 28-5A, but Harlandale bested the Owls, 3-1, this past Friday in a battle for playoff seeding.

Georgetown is coming off a 3-1 loss to 25-5A champion and No. 1-ranked Dripping Springs (44-2, 14-0 in district) this past Tuesday. The Lady Eagles were one of only two district teams to take a set from the Lady Tigers in 255A action.

The Lady Eagles were scheduled to play Austin Brentwood Christian in a warm-up game this past Friday, but the contest was

“I’ve just watched a little video on Bastrop,” Richardson said. “You always have to take a team seriously that goes unbeaten during its district season no matter the level of com-

petition. It’s still difficult -- especially in an 18-game season.

“I feel like we’ll come out on top. We’ve been tested in 25-5A, which is the toughest district in the state where almost every game is like a playoff

game. That gives us playoff experience going in, but I still think Bastrop will be tough. They have three players over 5-10.”

Bastrop, which had matches in district where an opponent did not score in double digits in any of

the sets, is led by a pair of outstanding individuals -- senior attacker Hailey McKnight (4.10 kills per set and 76 aces for the year) and senior setter Zoe Zamora (7.45 assists per set).

Also on hand for the coach Nicole Creek’s Lady Bears are senior hitter Lauryn Bresnahan (3.40 kills per set and 88 aces for the year), junior defender Katie Bishop (6.3 digs a set) along with block leaders in sophomore Peniah Waites (59.5 blocks for the season) and junior Quinn Blackwell (59 blocks for the season).

Georgetown will counter with the all-around talents of senior Caroline Furrer (422 kills, 43 aces, 61 blocks and 217 digs) along with senior middle blocker Maddie Douglas (281 kills and 78 blocks), senior setter Riane Pope (554 assists) and senior Zoe Saavedra (258 digs).

Also, senior Shayleigh Haas (217 kills), junior setter Georgia Quiroz (452 assists) and 6-1 sophomore Emily Ellis (152 kills, 76 blocks) have played key roles for GHS. In the 25-17, 22-25, 2515, 25-19 loss to Dripping Springs, G’town had one of its better performances.

“We played really well,” Richardson said. “We were in a zone. It was great for our confidence. It looked like everything we’ve been working on came into fruition.”

Morgan Greer, a 6-3 Florida commit, led the Lady Tigers with 16 kills, while Madison Gren had 40 assists and Carlie Shmidl made four blocks. On the GHS side of the stats sheet, Furrer has eight digs, three

blocks and two aces. Haas led in kills with eight, Ellis also had three blocks and Pope and Quiroz each made 13 assists.

If Georgetown reached the regional quarterfinals (the third round), the odds are overwhelming that the Lady Eagles will face the challenge of playing the Lady Tigers again. Dripping Springs, the 5A state runner-up last year, faced Austin Ann Richards in bi-district and probably Kerrville Tivy in area action.

East View Volleyball Closes Season With Loss Coulson Feels Patriots Have Built Foundation for Future Success

By Allan Shiflet

Russell Rinn / Advocate

Advocate Correspondent

East View’s Lady Patriots lost three hard-fought sets to playoff-bound Cedar Park, 25-23, 2523, 25-19, in their District 25-5 finale this past Tuesday night at Patriots Gym. The Patriots gave the talent-rich Timberwolves all they could handle, breaking on top in the first set. Cedar Park rallied back to take a 24-20 lead before a furious East View rally highlighted by a strong second-row return for a score by sophomore Katie Smith. However, the comeback came up just short.

The second set mirrored the first with East View coming back only to lose another tight battle. With the T-Wolves leading 19-17, Patriot senior standout, Calli Novak, blasted a big-swing kill -- one of her 15 kills on the night -- and then followed that with a block for a score to pull East View into a 19-19 tie. Junior Annie Burke had one of her 4 kills for the match to tie the score at 23 before Cedar Park was able to score the final two points.

With the Patriots trailing 13-7 in the third set, senior Miranda Klein had a nice kill to key another East View rally. EVHS couldn’t get the key points when needed and dropped the third set.

This match closed a Patriots’ season marked by steady improvement to the point where they were playing on par with some of the playoff-bound teams in super competitive 25-5A. Novak was outstanding in all phases of the game, contributing six digs to go with her matchhigh 15 kills. Klein had 10 kills and several blocks and digs in her final game for East View.

Miranda Klein (#12) and Camryn Miller defend at the net against Cedar Park in the Patriots’ season-ending match against the Timberwolves.

Coach Justine Coulson said, “Calli and Miranda are spectacular young women who I have been honored to coach. I told our

team at one point to get the ball to Miranda and Calli as much as possible because I knew how special this night it was for them.”

“I have seen us grow a lot as a team this year,” Novak said. “I feel good knowing I am leaving our team with a bright future

ahead. I have always focused on being the best I can be and will continue with that this spring and summer in club competition. I hope to contribute next year at TCU. “We have several top players returning and I am exciting about playing college volleyball.

One of my biggest joys this year was playing with my sister Corrine.”

Klein added, “I had a lot of fun in my senior year. I enjoyed our steady improvement this season.

I am considering a couple of colleges (in Texas) for volleyball play next year.”

“I want to wish Calli and Miranda nothing but the best and I know all of us at East View will be their biggest fans while they go on to play at the next level,” Coulson said.

The Patriots finished with a 5-9 record in 25-5A. “We have grown so much this year and I couldn’t be more proud,” Coulson said. “Our record is probably a failure to most looking from the outside but from the inside there were no failures.

We improved each match. Our girls overcame a lot of adversity especially when it came to injuries. I think the life lessons these young women learned this season are invaluable. I have no doubt that we have come out (of this season) stronger and even hungrier to make the playoffs.”

Kangaroos Hop Over Pirates 20-17

Quarterback Cooper Woodyard scored on a 4-yard run up the middle with 2:19 remaining to give Austin College a 20-17 victory over Southwestern University on Saturday in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference opener for both teams at the GISD Athletic Conference.

The victory improved the Kangaroos season record to 5-3 and placed them in a tie with Texas Lutheran for the lead in the four-school SCAC. The Bulldogs upended Trinity, 21-24.

In 1 p.m. action this coming Saturday, the Pirates (2-6) travel to San Antonio to play Trinity (6-2) and TLU (6-2) entertains Austin College in Seguin. In non-conference action earlier in the campaign Trinity downed SU, 26-21, in Georgetown.

In Saturday’s loss to the Kangaroos, the Pirates held a 17-10 lead at halftime on a 23-yard scoring pass from Bryan Hicks to Micah Sherman, a 4-yard pass from Hicks to Markell Henderson, and a 25-yard field goal by Laith Tucker. Austin’s 10 points came on a 35-yard field goal by Javi Reynoso and a 13-yard run by Woodyard.

Austin closed the gap to 17-13 in the third quarter on a 29-yard field goal by Reynoso and then scored the winning touchdown in the closing minutes.

The Pirates, who outgained the Kangaroos by 104 total yards (350-246) and ran 25 more plays than their opponent, had one final possession. However, they lost the ball on downs at midfield on an incomplete pass after Hicks was sacked for an 8-yard loss on third down.

SU played into its own downfall with four turnovers -- two interceptions and two lost fumbles -- and 10 penalties for 91

Southwestern’s Markell Henderson turns the corner en route to a gain during Saturday’s game. yards. Austin had only one turnover and just two penalties for 25 yards.

Hicks completed 24 of 36 passes for 206 yards and Henderson rushed 24 times for 132 yards.

Bear Reeves had seven solo tackles and three assists for SU and Justin Broussard added five solos and five assists.

VOLLEYBALL: No. 12 Southwestern (28-4, 12-2) will be seeded second Friday and Saturday when it hosts the SCAC Championship Tournament at Robertson Gym. The championship game is set for 4:30 p.m. Saturday with top-seeded Colorado College, which ran the table in conference play at 14-0, listed as a heavy

favorite.

SU will play either TLU or the University of Dallas in its first tournament match at 6 p.m. Friday.

The Pirates completed the regular season on Tuesday night at home against Concordia, won two of three matches this past weekend in San Antonio. They bested Mary Hardin-Baylor, 3-1; No. 18 LaVerne (Calif.), 3-0; and lost to Texas-Dallas, 3-0.

In the 25-23, 18-25, 25-23, 25-21 over UMHB, Kaitlyn Foster had 15 kills and 20 digs, while Olivia Drummond had 13 kills followed by Abbie Robb and Macey Pool, both with 11. Niki Welch had 42 assists.

UMHB junior Abby Voskill, a former Georgetown standout, had 18 jkills and 18 digs for the Crusaders.

Foster had 11 kills and 18 digs in the win over LaVerne, while Kate Mitchell had 10 kills and Welch 33 assists in the 25-22, 25-21, 25-23 win.

Texas-Dallas popped SU, 25-17, 25-22, 25-22. Robb had nine kills for the Pirates and Welch had 24 assists and 17 digs.

Andie Alford also had 17 digs.

CROSS COUNTRY: Brianna Timourian, a sophomore from Round Rock McNeil, headlined SU’s showing the SCAC Cross Country Meet Saturday at Stone Creek in Sherman. Timourian covered the 6,000-meter course in 24 minutes, 23.3 seconds, finishing behind winning 24:08.2

by Leah Wessler of Colorado College.

Colorado College edged Trinity, 25-41, to win the women’s title. SU was sixth with 137 points -- the same scored posted by the men’s in finishing fifth behind a perfect score of 15 by Trinity.

The Pirates top individual effort in the men’s 8,000-meter race was a 25th by Abraham Devenport, a sophomore from Kerrville, with a 30.56.9. Men’s winner was Trinity senior Taylor Piske in 27:37.8.

SOCCER: Both the SU men and women will take three-match losing streaks into their respective SCAC tournaments this coming Thursday-Saturday. The men will be in Colorado Springs and the women at Irving. The men (6-13, 6-8) probably will be seeded fifth and the women (7-10-1, 6-5-1) will be seeded fourth.

The men dropped matches to Schreiner, 2-1, and TLU, 5-2, this week. Former Georgetown standouts did all the scoring for SU. Andres Carreno-Mendez scored the Pirates’ only goal against Schreiner and Michael Oliveras scored at 49:35 and 58:07 in the loss to the Bulldogs.

The SU women dropped 1-0 decisions to both Schreiner and TLU. GOLF: Cody Hebert, a sophomore from Katy, was this past week’s SCAC Men’s Golfer of the Week after winning the individual title in the Abilene Intercollegiate at Diamond Back Golf Club. He posted a 6-under 36-hole total of 136, besting runner-up Seger Howell of Concordia by two shots. Hebert led SU to a second-place team finish. It was the Pirates final scheduled match of the fall season.

ELSEWHERE: Former Southwestern assistant athletics director Ronda Seagraves began her new duties as the athletics director at Concordia University on Monday.

After leaving SU, Seagraves had severed as the AD at Centenary College in Shreveport.

Eagles Take Regional Consolation Title

In a battle of state-ranked teams 15th-ranked Mission Sharyland downed No. 22 Georgetown, 10-5, in the quarterfinals of the rain-hampered Region IV-5A Team Tennis Tournament this past Friday at the Alamo Heights Tennis Center in San Antonio.

The loss dropped Georgetown into the consolation bracket and coach Suzanne Isbell’s Eagles responded by beating Uvalde, 11-4, and Corpus Christi Flour Bluff, 10-4, on Saturday to capture the consolation champion in the eight-school event.

Georgetown finished its season with a 23-9 record that included second-place finishes in both the District

25-5A and Region IV-5A Area I tournaments.

“The girls were the backbone of our team throughout the season and that was also the case at the regional tournament,” Isbell said.

“Sharryland was a closer match than what it shows on paper. I knew that team would be tough and it didn’t go our way. Kids put up a tough fight until the end.

I’m proud of the way our boys side played against Flour bluff winning two super tie-breakers and one set tie-breaker and walked away with three wins. It was a great way to end our team tennis season!”

In the quarterfinals match with Sharyland, the Rattlers

swept all nine boys matches -- six singles and three doubles en route to the victory. GHS won two girls singles, two girl’s doubles and mixed doubles.

The opening was scheduled to start at 8:30 a.m., but did not get underway until late afternoon because of the heavy rains.

Two GHS doubles teams and two girls singles players posted 3-0 records in the tournament -- Sam Clark and Mary Blake Windham at No. 3 girls doubles, Ben Fischer and Hannah Walden in mixed doubles, Clark in singles and Rachel Maloy in singles.

Vandegrift won the regional title and earned

a berth in the UIL State Tournament on the Texas A&M campus in College Station. The Vipers beat Alamo Heights, 10-3, in the finals.

STATE FROM B1 “Our goal has been and is still to compete for medals at the state meet,” Eagles coach Andrew Braun said. “We feel that our program is at the level where we can do that on a yearly basis. The competition will be strong. There are probably seven or eight teams (in the 16-school field) that have the capability to be on the medal stand. We will run to our strengths -- pack running and a small spread between our first and fifth runners.”

Braun said he planned to stick with his regional lineup of Junior Joseph Proctor (11th at regional), sophomore Jonathan Parks (15th in regional), senior Collin Turner (30th at regional), freshman Carter Smith (39th at regional), senior Sam Needler (42nd at regional), junior Mason Motakef (52nd at regional) and senior Ryan Thiele (63 at regional). If Braun had to replace a fixture in his lineup, he said he would go with either junior Tristan Raum, the 25-5A JV champion, or senior Payton Dedeyan.

Coach Kellye Richardson’s Lady Eagles -- second in 25-5A and third in Region IV-5A -- will be led in the 10:50 a.m. 5A girls race by three runners who finished in the top 17 -sophomore Jazmin Hernandez (6th at regional), senior Natalie Parks (13th at regional) and junior McKenzie Hargrove (17th in regional). Senior Hope Shannon (71 at regional) and junior Madison Schacherl (106th at regional) are the other definites.

Richardson said she was undecided on the other two positions as off this past Thursday with senior Allyson Fawley (101st at regional), Mary DeMaio (out with injury) and freshman Morgan White (122 at regional) being the candidates to fill those slots.

“The 5A field will be strong this year, but I have a great deal of confidence in our team and feel they will compete with a great deal of pride and heart,” Richardson said. “Our strength throughout this season is that we have three strong runners that are capable of competing with the best in every region.

“I’m certain that Madison and Hope will have one of their best races as well which will help our team

No. 1 Cedar Park Blanks East View

By Allan Shiflet Advocate Correspondent

Cedar Park, the state’s topranked 5A team, buried the East View Patriots, 59-0, on Saturday at Gupton Stadium.

In a game postponed by foul weather on Friday, the Timberwolves clinched at least a tie for the 25-5A championship with their 6-0 district record. Cedar Park, owners of a 21-game home winning streak, roared out of the gate with 28 points in both the first and second quarters to take a commanding 56-0 lead by halftime.

The Timberwolves can clinch the outright title at 7:30 p.m. Friday with a victory over Vista Ridge (5-1).

On the first play of the game, the Timberwolves broke a 57-yard run off the left side before being chased down at the East View 19-yard line.

Two plays later Cedar Park scored on 12 yard run by Tyler Lavine with less than two minutes gone in the opening quarter.

The Patriots stalled on their first possession and after a punt the Wolves barged down the field and scored on 19 -yard run by Garrett Yero to lead 14-0 with 7.05 left in the quarter. The dominating Cedar Park defense stuffed the next East View possession, but the Patriots flipped the field for the defense with a 52- yard punt by Adrian Soto, along with two penalties, defensive holding, and a dead ball personal foul, allowed the Patriots to gain 80 yards of field position on the play.

Cedar Park countered with a quick scoring drive, the touchdown coming on a 68-yard pass from Mark Sexton to Rocky Ferony to up the margin to 21-0. A 43-yard touchdown scamper

by Hayden Craig pushed the

Timberwolves up 28-0 at the two-minute mark of the first quarter.

After Cedar Park scored a touchdown early in the second quarter on a 3-yard run by Jav Guidry, East View lost a fumble at its own 20, setting up a short scoring push to build the lead to 42-0 with 8:25 left in the first half on a 2-yard run

by William Richter.

The Timberwolves scored twice more in the second yarder on long passes -- Sexton threw 58 yards to Craig and Baxter Robinson completed a 52-yard scoring pass to Lavine. Storm Jensen, who had eight extra points in the first half, completed the scoring with a 41-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.

Cedar Park racked up 540 total yards and finished with a game total of 258 yards rushing and 282 yards through the air. East View was held to 63 total yards -- 1 yard on 29 rushes and 62 in the air.

East View played the Wolves much better in the second half. They mounted a drive, highlighted by a 10-yard completion from quarterback Austin Moreno to Mason Klinger and Moreno’s keeper for a 15 yard gain to the Cedar Park 34. A bad snap put the next set of downs behind the chains caused the drive to stall at the Cedar Park 32.

The Patriot defense got a couple of stops and East View mounted another drive with a Moreno 12-yard run to set the Pats up at the Cedar Park 19 with just over three minutes left in the third quarter. Backto-back sacks by the Wolves’ defense forced an East View punt. The fourth quarter saw the Patriot defense again getting a stop, forcing a Cedar Park punt. The Pats lost a fumble on the first play of the ensuing possession, but again

Cahill Powers Eagles’ Winning Drive

By Jon Whittemore Advocate Correspondent

Senior runner Dakota Cahill literally picked up the Georgetown Eagles and put it on his back as he carried them to a victory on a rare Saturday night game that had been delayed nearly 24 hours because of heavy rains in the Austin area.

Originally scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday, the game kicked off at 7 p.m. on Saturday before a sparse crowd where Dripping Springs did not even bother to bring cheerleaders or their band and drill team. The final score was an exciting 44-37 win for the hard-luck Eagles who have battled injuries to key players and general bad luck throughout the season.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Cahill had his best game of the season, carrying the ball 30 times for an impressive 265 yards. In the process of his night’s work, he tallied three touchdowns.

He now has 18 touchdowns for the year to go along with his 909 yards on 128 carries (averaging 7.1 per attempt). This is in spite of missing one game with injury, and carrying only four times in another contest.

Cahill, who is considering continuing his career at the Colorado School of Mines, consistently gives credit to his O-line for his success.

“We have a good group of senior leaders, and the juniors have bought into the system,” Cahill said. “There is a group of us who have played together since junior high; and we’re not just playing the game for the game’s sake, we’re playing for each other. We are ‘brothers’ within the team. The offense couldn’t do anything without the line doing their jobs. Shout-outs go to Kade Clapper, Jacoby Coleman, Kadin Hammonds, Chase Travis and Ben Purcell.”

After trailing at half 24-21 and falling onepoint farther behind 31-27 after three quarters, the Eagles faced an uphill battle to keep their hopes for a playoff spot alive going into the fourth quarter. Knowing the score and the situation, Coach Jason Dean put the ball in the hands of his most reliable runner, and the dependable senior produced 118 yards on 16 carries in the final twelve minutes of the game. Additionally, he scored two of his three touchdowns… each one on short 1-yard plunges.

Trailing 37-36 with just 4:11 remaining in the game, Cahill, aided by two pass completions

MOBILE BANKING

Russell Rinn / Advocate Georgetown’s Senior Dakota Cahill ran for 265 yards Saturday night in the Eagle’s 44-37 win over Dripping Springs. Cahill scored three touchdowns on the night. from Chandler Herman to junior wide receiver Beau Corrales of 5 and 14 yards, carried the ball 10 of the 11 remaining plays to propel the Eagles 63 yards in 13 plays for the go-ahead score. He barreled into the end zones on his thirtieth carry with only 0:12 showing on the game clock. The final PAT was an icing-on-the-cake 2-pointer from Herman to diving senior wide receiver Jo’vonta Grimble (7 catches-135 yards, 2 TDs) who also had an outstanding game.

“I gathered the offense around me before we went out for the last drive and told the guys that we couldn’t leave any energy on the sideline.

Win or lose, let’s go out with dignity,” Cahill said.

As previously reported, Cahill and the Eagles truly believe that “Eagle Fight Never Dies.”

Interestingly, as Cahill gave his last comment, he headed for the stadium gates and a different side of this humble star was revealed.

This fierce competitor, who is such a rough and tumble, hard-nosed-style player, gave his ninth grade little brother (who was waiting in the wings for the interview to be over) a big bear hug before continuing on to join his teammates, family members and well-wishers in the assembled throng outside the stadium fence.

Perhaps after picking up an entire team, picking up one’s little brother isn’t such a big deal at all.

Saturday’s bracket-play schedule will be based on the results of pool play. The Gold Bracket title games are set for Eagle Gym with the girls playing at 5 p.m. and the boys at 6:30 p.m.

JACK FROST TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE

Russell Rinn / Advocate Student athletics trainer Katie Preston was elected Georgetown Eagle Football Sweetheart Saturday during halftime. Pictured are parents Doug and Alison Preston.

EAGLES, FROM PAGE B1 “Any discussion of Vandegrift starts with Brannan, the returning Class 5A Player of the Year,” GHS coach Jason Dean said.

“He’s every bit as good or better than he was last year. They have a big-play receiver in Paxton Segura (a 6-4, 210-pound Rice commit). We can’t give up the big play, and we have to control Brannan.”

The Eagles survived Dripping Springs with a drive that was already taking on epic proportions in the minds of many immediately after senior Dakota Cahill punched his way into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown with 12 seconds remaining, and Jo’vonta Grimble punctuated the win with a diving catch on the 2-point conversion attempt.

“We went into the game saying we needed to get Dakota 25 carries, and I guess the extra five weren’t bad,” Dean said of Cahill’s 265-yard performance on 30 carries, including 10 double-digit runs. “We put in a new package with Chris Miranda at tight end.

There wasn’t anything fancy.”

That 13-play, 63-yard drive started after a 2-yard touchdown run by Dripping Springs’ Robert Credeur put the Tigers up 37-36 with 4:11 to go went as follows: Cahill for 4; Chandler Herman to Beau Corrales for 5; Cahill for 3; Cahill

for 6; and Herman to Corrales for 14; then a seven-play overdose of Cahill for the Tigers -- 11, 3, 7, 11, 1, 0, 1 to the end zone on third down.

The gritty, punishing comeback that may have taken some of the starch out of Drip’s shorts was the high point, but there was an execution low for the Eagles in the victory.

“We gave up two many big plays,” Dean said of a contest in which the Tigers had individual gainers of 73, 32, 41, 54 and 57 yards.

“On too many plays we hit the guy and not take him down.”

Quarterback Reese Johnson led the Tigers with 175 yards rushing on 22 carries and 160 yards passing on eight completions in 22 attempts.

Dean had some quarterback concerns when Herman, who completed 13 of 21 attempts for 199 yards, came out in the first half with an ankle injury that was heavily taped before he returned to the game.

“Chandler missed two series with an ankle injury,” Dean said. “Nathan Jones came in and did well.

They got an interception, but it wasn’t his fault. The receiver fell down. We tell our non-starters continuously that they need to be ready because they are just a twisted ankle from being in the game.”

The Tigers led 14-7 after the first period. Herman

started the scoring with a 42-yard pass to Grimble, who caught seven passes for 130 yards. Dripping Springs countered with a 54-yard pass from Johnson to Ethan Fernea and a 1-yard keeper by Johnson.

Dripping Springs advanced the lead to 24-21 at the half despite touchdown runs of 1-yard by Jamel Powell, and 21 yards by Cahill, as the Tigers added a 14-yard scoring run by Credeur, and a 34-yard field goal by Grant Molander.

The Tigers pushed the lead to 31-27 after three quarters. Johnson scored on a 9-yard run for Dripping Springs, and Grimble countered with a 5-yard pass from Herman.

Prior to Credeur’s score and The Drive in the fourth, GHS pulled into a 36-31 lead with a 30-yard field goal by Luiz Diaz and 1-yard run by Cahill.

Eagles defensive line standout, Hunter Creasey injured an ankle early against Dripping Springs and was in an orthopedic boot during and after the game. The severity of the injury was to be determined on Monday. He was replaced by senior Ethan Blankenship.

Senior student trainer Katie Preston, sister of former GHS offensive line standout Tyler Preston, was named the Eagles’ football sweetheart.

COUGARS ROAR, BEAT DUBLIN, 35-16

by Deborah Marquis

Advocate Correspondent

In a game postponed by Friday’s torrential rains, Jarrell downed host Dublin, 35-16, on Saturday to claim the District 10-3A Division II championship and the six-team alignment’s top seeding for the state playoffs.

The Cougars, 4-0 in district and 9-0 for the season, will try to complete the undefeated regular-season run when it entertains

Rogers (0-4, 1-8), at 7:30 p.m.

Friday. Senior Night festivities will be held prior to the contest with the struggling defending district champions.

On Friday before either team took the field, officials ordered players and fans to take cover when severe thunderstorms moved in to the Dublin area.

The decision soon was made to reschedule the game for 5 p.m. on Saturday, forcing Jarrell players and fans to repeat the 120-mile

round trip. It was one of a large number of games around the state rescheduled because of the severe weather. Some were moved up to Thursday and others were moved back to Saturday.

The day and time apparently did not affect the Cougars. Their goal of a perfect season was not to be deterred. Jarrell scored on the first play from scrimmage when Tony Brown raced 76 yards for the score with less than 15 seconds off the clock as the Cou-

gars built a 35-0 lead.

On a fourth-8 play, Brown completed a 31-yard pass to Hunter Lonas that put the Cougars up 14-0 before the end of the first quarter.

Jarrell increased the lead at halftime to 21-0 on an 8-yard run

by Chris Bannon.

Early in the third quarter, Brown hurled a pass to Tucker Sansom that resulted in a 68yard touchdown. The final score for the Cougars would come with

6:09 left in the third period when Brown twisted his way over the goal line from 6 yards out. Hecter Guerrero was successful on all five of his extra-point attempts.

Dublin scored two touchdowns and a safety after the Cougars had constructed their 35-point advantage.

Brown rushed 16 times for 106 yards and completed five of eight passes for an addition 128 yards.

Jarrell outgained Dublin 359 yards to 228.

Tony Brown’s athleticism was evident as he fought through defenders, twisting and turning his way over the goal line for his final TD.
