SEGUIN HIGH SCHOOL MATADORS It had been a while. Twelve years to be exact. The Seguin Matadors, under third-year head coach Travis Bush, got to the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade last year. Now they’ll try and put together back-toback winning campaigns for the first time in his tenure. The Mats have a lot to overcome to get there — the loss of most of the defense to graduation, the youth and size issues, and a district that is now aware of Seguin as a competitor for titles. A core group of seniors led the Matadors to a share of the District 12-5A title at 6-1 (7-4 overall) and a playoff berth. “When we got here in 2016, last year’s senior class were freshman that spring,” Bush said. “There was just something about them — and I remember as a staff that first spring, that group would be the one to turn this thing around. “They had the mentality, they had the toughness, you could see it inside them. When you’ve been doing this for awhile, you can gage that.”
A LOOK INTO DISTRICT 12-5A Seguin tied for the district title last season with Austin LBJ and Dripping Springs, and head coach Travis Bush sees the district shaping up similarly again this season. “Texas Football magazine asks us to rank our district every season and I picked LBJ one and Dripping Springs two,” Bush said. “LBJ has the most coming back with some D1 athletes there. It’s like a D1 factory, they’ve got several guys that could play at the next level.” Dripping Springs is a perennial football power, and Bush thinks they will be there again. “They’re going to return a lot,” he The coaches were prophetic, as the Mats reeled off seven straight wins after opening the season 0-2, and tied for the district title with Austin LBJ and Dripping Springs. “We set the tone that January,” Bush said. “We weren’t talking about hoping to
10 GUADALUPE COUNTY GAMEDAY – 2019
said. “That program has been successful year in and year out, as they were last year, and they’ll be as good as they’ve ever been.” Austin McCallum has been the district champ as recently as two years ago, although they struggled more than usual last season. “They are looking to get back in that mode and they were the fourth playoff team out of district last year,” Bush said. Crockett was finished fifth in the district last season, and Austin North East and Austin Navarro both have new coaches, so are a bit of an unknown this year. Austin Travis was last in the district last year. win anymore, we were expecting to win. We expected to be in the playoffs and competing for a district championship.” “We had a big senior class, a lot of talented guys and had high expectations — and then bam, started the season 0-2. Starting out that
way, teams in the past, you would have seen them start pulling away, but last year’s team pulled together.” The Mats lost to SA Antonian by three (2522) and to rival New Braunfels by five (34-29) before going on the epic roll. Seguin had just one close game for seven weeks, a 42-39 overtime win over Dripping Springs, blowing out the rest of their opponents, before falling in the final two games of the season, to LBJ (35-28 in OT) and Georgetown (21-6) in the playoffs. “We played a strong Georgetown team, played our tails off, but came up short,” Bush said. “Last year’s motto was ‘Something to prove’ — and I think we did that.”
This season
This year’s motto for the Matadors is “Take the next step.” “It’s been 12 years since they’ve had a winning season, so it’s been 12 years since they’ve come back from a winning season,” Bush said. “Now we have to start over, and that just naturally happens at this level. “How do you come back from a winning season, start over, and do the things we did at a different level? We talk about taking the next step this year, compete for a championship again, get to the playoffs and now let’s win a playoff game.” The schedule is the same, as Seguin travels to SA Antonian and hosts New Braunfels in the first two games of the season. “We know what’s ahead of us,” Bush said. “Our non-district schedule is tough. Antonian is solid again and New Braunfels is a solid 6A school that’s won this battle every year since 2013.” “Central Catholic was 21-21 with seven minutes left, and we got 21 straight at the end. It’s part of what preseason is, you find out what you have and then try to be fine-tuned and ready to go when district starts.”
The players
Seguin graduated 30 seniors from last year’s team, so there’s a lot to replace on both sides of the ball. Jhalen Mickles is one of five returnees on offense, and solidified himself as the starting quarterback through the spring. “He’s been a three-year player for us, and started games his sophomore and junior years,” Bush said. “We’ve gone with a two-quarterback
system the last two years, but now it’s his turn, the job is his. “He’s gained about 20 pounds, his speed has increased, and he’s doing all the things he needs to do.” Three starters return on the offensive line, including seniors Josh Avalos and Tracy Wilson and junior Daniel Gonzales. “Josh has been a three-year starter, and Tracy and Daniel both started last year,” Bush said. “Our offensive line is probably our most advanced unit.” Also returning is junior running back Marques Washington, who platooned with two other backs last year and provides some speed at the position, coming off a 4x100 appearance at the state meet in the spring. A group of new, but big, wide receivers include 6-foot 3-inch junior Dravan McKnight, 6-foot 2-inch senior tight end Jonathan Patterson, and senior Trevor Was (6-foot) at the other wider receiver position. Sophomore Clark Ullrich and senior Dillion Gutierrez will alternate time in the slot. Defensively, the Mats return just two senior
starters, two-time All-District defensive end Chance Brewster and cornerback Desvonn Smith. “It’s a lot of new faces on the defense, so that’s where we are going to be young,” Bush said. Sophomores John Micheal Mata (LB), Allen Martinez (LB), Ian Box (DL), and Rhondie Singletary (DB) are all expected to see time on the defensive side of the ball. Gutierrez (DB) will play both ways, junior Micah Rodriguez (DB) is also the back-up quarterback, while senior Chanse Hernandez (DL) and senior Tanner Schuehle (LB) both saw playing time last season. “Were going to be smaller defensively all around, up front and in the secondary,” Bush said. “We’ll probably have a lot more movement up front because of our size. The early season scrimmages and games will let us know what we can get away with there.” Kicker Garrett Stiles returns, and is on national watch lists as a kicker this season. “He’s done the camp circuit this summer and is on some recruiting watch lists,” Bush said. “He’s a good piece to have.”

When Euler Deleon was a sophomore, Navarro fans would look forward to the late stages of a game so they could see him on the field. Deleon played behind more experienced running backs that year but always made his time on the field count. He would enter the game and run like a bull let loose from his pen, stomping on opposing defenders as he went. Even with the limited action, he managed to rush for three touchdowns and nearly 400 yards that season. Fans wanted to see more of him and they got their chance last year. As a junior, Deleon ran for more than 1,200 yards and led the team with 18 touchdowns. Along with teammate Johnny
Alegria, Deleon was named first team running back on the District 13-4A-II all-district team. Not surprisingly, big things are expected of Deleon now as he goes into his senior season. Texas Football has picked him as preseason offensive MVP for the district. His head coach, Rod Blount, believes Deleon is well-prepared to meet those expectations. “He goes above and beyond on everything we ask him to do,” Blount said. “In athletics, he’s going to lead, always try to get better, and be a great example for everybody. In the classroom, he’s a 4.0 student and brings the same things he brings to the football field. “He’s an amazing student athlete and a great kid inside and outside of school.”

navarro high school panthers When you are in the same district as the Cuero Gobblers—the defending Class 4AII State Champions—the road is never an easy one. The Navarro Panthers probably know more about that than anyone else. Last season, they finished second in their district behind Cuero. And when they fought through three rounds of the playoffs to the state quarterfinals, they again found the Gobblers there to send them home with a loss. Those struggles are nothing new for Navarro. The Panthers have only lost 10 games since the end of the 2013 season. Six of those defeats have come against Cuero. A ray of hope may be emerging for Panther fans in 2019. Jordan Whittington, the phenomenal athlete who led the Gobblers to the title last year, will be playing for the University of Texas this fall. He is one of a 31-member senior class that donned the cap and gowns of Cuero High School last spring. But, unlike last year, District 13-4A-II looks
Panthers, Gobblers playoff match ups In a state as big as Texas, where high school football is practically a religion in hundreds of communities, it is a remarkable distinction to share in any state record. The Navarro Panthers and the Cuero Gobblers share one such mark. Those teams have met in the playoffs for six consecutive seasons, which is more than any other teams in the long-storied history of football in Texas. Several teams have played in five straight seasons and two of those rivalries — Refugio vs. Mason and Brock vs. Wall — are current. All those games between Navarro and to be more than Panthers chasing Gobblers in 2019. Navarro head coach Rod Blount cannot help but laugh when asked about how the district looks this year. “Wimberley was down last year but I expect them to be back where they’ve been for the
14 GUADALUPE COUNTY GAMEDAY – 2019
Cuero took place at least two rounds into the playoffs. Two of them occurred in the state quarterfinals. Of course, the Panthers would have loved to enjoy more success against the Gobblers. They have lost five of the six games, winning only in 2016. Last year, the UIL ensured they would see even more of each other by placing them in the same district. This year, the teams are again picked to finish as the top two in the region. That means a seventh straight postseason meeting could easily lie ahead. last 10 or so years,” he said of the team that won the region in 2017 and the state title in 2011. “Llano is a program that is on their way up and will be really tough this year. Bandera has as good of skill position kids as anybody in the district. They’re bringing back guys who have been starting for two years and have a
lot of speed. “And everybody says its going to be a rebuilding year for Cuero but they don’t have to rebuild. They’ve got a lot of guys ready to step in. They’re bringing back some big, physical offensive linemen and they always have the kids at the skill positions.” But there is no need to pity the Panthers. No program wins 10 games in seven consecutive seasons without having something going for it. And there is more than enough on this year’s roster to excite the crowds that will soon be gathering at Erwin-Lee Field. Starting that list is the offensive backfield. For the first time in program history, the Panthers return two backs who rushed for more than 1,000 yards in the previous season. Euler Deleon (1,224 yards and 18 TDs) and Johnny Alegria (1,354 yards and 16 TDs) also made first team all-district at running back in 2019. Deleon is a power runner who wears out defenders. Alegria is a speedster, listed at 5-foot 10-inches and 145 pounds, who may be as fun to watch as anyone who has ever played for Navarro. “If Johnny catches a crack, he’s gonna be gone,” Blount said. “He has great vision and agility and uses his blockers well so he doesn’t have to take a lot of hits. “He’s also a quiet leader. He doesn’t say a lot but when he does, people listen.” The Panthers also return MoMo Sims (422 yards rushing, 5 TDs in 2018) and fullback Cole Mouser to their Slot-T backfield. Blount has other young prospects and hopes that more backfield depth this year can help him keep Deleon and Alegria fresh. Blount is also high on his offensive line. Though only two starters return — center Brett Butler and lineman Cole Booker
— the size and strength of the new players has had a lot of folks around Geronimo talking. “We have the makings of a special offensive line,” Blount said. “We have a lot of guys who are big and strong and can move. They’re young and they just need the time to come together and know and trust each other and communicate at a fast pace like an offensive line has to do.” The Panthers will need to find a new starting quarterback. Blount said he has confidence in all three prospects who are trying out for the job — sophomore Nick Billings and juniors Sam Muniga and Mark Wozniak. The decision will be made the week before the first game, according to Blount. When any of those quarterbacks throw the ball, defenses will be watching for Alegria coming out of the backfield. He led the Panthers last year with ten catches and 216 yards. But defenses will also have to contend with Myles McCord,
a transfer from Lifegate who Blount says has “elite speed.” “If he gets the ball, its going to be pretty hard to catch him,” Blount said. Blount believes his personnel may allow his team to throw the ball significantly more than last year, when they averaged less than four passes per game. Junior kicker Sebastian “Rooster” Sneed is another returning starter. Sneed was consistent throughout last year and Blount said his leg is stronger this year and he is “a good weapon to have.” Defensively, the Panthers lack experience. Their top returners, both second team all-district selections last year, are defensive back MoMo Sims and linebacker Gabe Means. Sims may have made the biggest play of the Panthers’ season in 2018 when he grabbed a game-changing interception in the district opener at Llano. Blount calls Means “a big, physical, fast guy.” Means made
25 solo tackles last year. Senior linebacker Ethan Thomas, who stepped up late in the season to tally 33 tackles last year, also returns and Blount says he likes what he has seen from him. The other positions consist of players trying to earn a position and grow up in a hurry before the district schedule starts. “We’re looking for guys who are hungry and want to get to the football,” Blount said. “Defense is all about attitude. “Our secondary has to come together—like the offensive line, it will win you a lot of games or lose you a lot of games. And we have to be able to get some pressure on the quarterback because you can’t expect defensive backs to cover for 7 or 8 seconds.” Still, Blount likes the talent on his team and believes they will have much more depth than last season. He hopes that leads to fewer players — especially offensive linemen — seeing action on both sides of the ball.

Cade Baumann’s skills on the football field have not gone unnoticed. The Marion senior will not sneak up on anybody this year, as he was First Team All-Area and First Team All-District last season as a safety, and has already been named the preseason district MVP. A three-year starter for the Bulldogs, he played linebacker his sophomore
u ke
year, and safety last year, while lining up in the slot receiver position on the offensive side of the ball. Baumann moved to running back during the playoffs last season, and started at the position for the team’s final playoff game against Goliad. He knows that last year’s success doesn’t mean the Bulldogs will roll through 2019 in the same fashion.
“We have a lot of younger guys that need to step up,” Baumann said. “We can’t be entitled coming off a great year last year, everything has to be earned.” Baumann welcomes the move to middle linebacker this season. “I was smaller last year, but this year I’ve grown and gotten a lot bigger, so I fit into middle linebacker perfect.”
2019 – GUADALUPE COUNTY GAMEDAY 17
MARION HIGH SCHOOL BULLDOGS Ryne Miller knew he had stepped into a pretty good situation last year. Coming to Marion from San Antonio Northside, the coach was blessed with a strong senior class in his first year as the head football coach for the Bulldogs. “We had a great senior class, with 16 seniors coming into it,” Miller said. “We knew we had a lot of potential last year.” That group of seniors led the Bulldogs to an undefeated 6-0 run through District 15-3A (10-2 overall), a district championship, and a trip to the area finals. All-State quarterback Tayler Mills and AllState tight end Jackson Allen led the way, along with several other seniors, to the Bulldogs stellar season. “The leadership was unbelievable,” Miller said. “Obviously the athletic talent was there, they were extremely smart and well-coached and that’s a credit to those guys.” The 10 wins were a school record, and the team reached the area round of the playoffs for the first time in “four or five years,” the coach said.
Marion picked second in District 15-3A The Bulldogs rolled undefeated last season through the district, but lost six starters on both sides of the ball. That led to them being picked second this season, behind always tough Jourdanton. “Jourdanton has got a lot of guys returning,” head coach Ryne Miller said. “It’s no secret. Dave Campbell picked Jourdanton to win it, but for us, we’re just going to take one game at a time.” “Our kids are going to be battle tested, starting both ways, playing tough teams. But that’s what we want, to com-
pete for district championships and a playoff spot.” The Bulldogs face Jourdanton on Oct. 12, in a series of difficult games through the first seven weeks of the season. “You look at games two through seven and they all made the playoffs,” Miller said. “Two, three and four are all teams that are in the top 25 in the state, and five, six and seven were all playoff teams. “It’s going to be a tough part of the schedule, the kids all know it and they are excited for it.”
“We ended the season with a tough loss finish second in the district. to Goliad, but it was a very special season,” “We’re returning five and five, but we have a Miller said. bunch of big shoes to fill,” Miller said. “We’ve had an unbelievable offseason.

in College Station. “A couple of guys stepped up and had a great offseason,” Miller said. “Zach Goodwin, Cade Baumann, Ray Rayos and Karson Kelso all are going to be seniors and returning starters from last year. “They jumped into it with a full head of steam and really took over from a leadership standpoint, where we had a big void coming off last season.” Goodwin is slated to be the starter at quarterback for the Bulldogs, replacing longtime starter Mills. “We didn’t name a starter all through the spring,” Miller said. “We had a lot of competition with some young guys that really stepped up to compete. “We qualified for the 7-on-7 state tournament and competed well there, and the guy that really led us there was our quarterback Zach. He emerged through the
spring and the summer and became a great leader and a great football player.” Baumann will be the leader on the defensive side of the ball at middle linebacker, where he was named preseason MVP in the district. “He’s a three-year starter and led the team in tackles last year,” Miller said. “He’s the physical guy you want on defense, will call the plays, get us lined up and make sure the front seven are set up right.”
Other starters
Junior receiver and outside linebacker Jayden Williams, already 6-foot 4-inch and 216 pounds, is a three-year starter for the Bulldogs. “He’s been getting a lot of Division I coaches coming through,” Miller said. “Baylor and UTSA are real interested in him. We expect a lot of great things from him and he’ll be a two-way
starter for us. He looks the part, he’s a big kid with a great attitude.” Returning starters Jacob Devora and Hutch Rabenaldt, will also play both ways for the Bulldogs, with Devora at receiver and cornerback, and Rabenaldt at receiver and safety. Liam Christensen led the team in sacks last year and comes back on the defensive line. Kelso moves to left tackle from center and will lead a young group in the trenches. “We moved him because we needed him there,” Miller said. “He’s taken control of the offensive line because we have some young guys there. He’s really the anchor of the offensive line.” Junior Ronnie Winbush tips the scales at 250 and will start on both lines for the Bulldogs, while Rayos returns at running back for the Bulldogs. “Ray helps lead the offense and the skill positions, he works
hard and has a very bright future,” Miller said. Senior Jarrett Fennell is also a potential two-way starter at wide receiver and defensive back. Many of Miller’s players will be starting both ways at Marion, common among smaller schools with fewer bodies on the team. “I’ve worked at a big school for the last 10 years,” Miller said. “Before you come here you wonder how these guys do it, but it’s just the mentality. They expect to start both ways — it’s kind of that iron man mentality.” Marion starts the season at Luling and at cross-county rival Navarro. “Of our four non-district games, three of them are ranked in the top 25 in the state,” Miller said. “Navarro, Blanco and Hondo are all ranked high. That’s what we want to do, we want to schedule tough games for our non-district schedule.

Kyle Wrinkle can run. He has to in his positions of cornerback and wide receiver at Lifegate, a six-man football team, because there’s a lot more ground to cover with only six defenders. “I never really played 11-man, and I don’t really follow it,” Wrinkle said. “I like six-man and think it’s a great game. “It’s a smaller team, you know you can rely on your teammates, and it also requires a lot of running and endurance. We’re in pretty good shape, our coaches make sure of that.” The senior played last season at the
same spots on the field as the Falcons cruised to the TCAL title with a perfect 10-0 run. “We won state, so it went pretty good,” he said. With the returning starters, Wrinkle believes the Falcons have a good chance to repeat as TCAL Division 2A champions. “We have our quarterback Quinten (Shellnut) and our upbacks Barson (Schmidt) and Blake (Pruitt),” he said. “We don’t have as many as we had last year, but with what we’ve got back I think we can do it again.”
2019 – GUADALUPE COUNTY GAMEDAY 21
LIFEGATE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL The Lifegate Christian Falcons have had a good run recently. The Falcons have won back-to-back state championships, the first two years ago in the TAPPS league, then again last year in TCAL. And with most of the team coming back this year, the Falcons are once again the favorite to repeat as state champs, picked first in their nine-team division in TCAL by Texas Football magazine. “We had an outstanding year last year,” first-year head coach John Stout said. “We went 10-0, won the state championship for the second time in a row and it was an awesome experience. “The boys put in the work and it showed.” Lifegate beat Tyler King’s Academy in the 6-man championship game in Houston, 5712, mercy-ruling KA in the fourth quarter to complete the perfect season.
last season. Seniors David Brewer, Zach McCulloch and Kyle Wrinkle also return, giving the Falcons some experience on both sides of the ball. “Quinten will be playing safety again this year,” Stout said. “He’s a really good player, and really goes after it. “The only thing I would like to see from The players Juniors Quinten Shellnut, Luke Landin him is for him to mature a little bit more and Barson Schmidt return after all started and take the lead in the program.” 22 guadalupe county gameday – 2019
Landin will start at upback and fullback, and is the kicker for the squad. “‘I would like to see Luke improve his reads some, but he’s getting it,” Stout said. Schmidt will see time at cornerback and wide receiver, along with playing some at the upback and spreadback positions. “Barson led the team in interceptions last year,” Stout said. McCulloch has been the center for the
Falcons since his sophomore year. “He’s a big kid, who knows how to block and get to his positions,” Stout said. “I would just like to see him hold onto the ball a bit better.” Brewer has started at cornerback and at defensive end in the last two seasons. “He played at defensive end in both state championships,” Stout said. “He’s got what it takes to do it, he just needs to step up on the offensive side of the ball on the receiving end.” Rob Galvan and Joseph Menchaca return as sophomores. “We’re still waiting to hear if Rob is going to come back,” Stout said. “He was with me in middle school but got injured and it’s been lingering.” Caleb Logan and Joshua Sowers come to the team as freshman.
The opponents
With small parochial schools, players move in and out, which can create difficulties for coaches wanting to scout the other teams. It’s no different for Stout, as some of the teams he will face have entirely new rosters and players he’s never seen before. T h e Fa l c o n s b e g i n t h e season against High Island, and the coach has yet to get any information on the team. “I don’t know anything about them,” the coach said. “I will find some film on them before we play.” Lifegate trounced their next opponent, the Corpus Christi Badgers, last season and faces Annapolis Week 3, a team they mercy-ruled last year. “You never know, they could have got some kids in that will make them better,” Stout said. The next game on Sept. 20 was supposed to be against
Lee Academy, but the school cancelled the game after not getting enough players to field a team. “We’re trying to fill that spot with someone else, either that day or in our bye week,” Stout said. Smoking for Jesus, Bastrop Tribe, Ovilla Christian School, Mt. Carmel and Texas Christian round out the schedule through November and leading up to the playoffs. “Texas Christian has a back that’s coming back,” Sout said. “He wasn’t real coordinated for football last year, but he’s a big kid, 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds, so we’ll see what he brings this year. “Bastrop Tribe actually won the state championship in their division last year, so they’ll give us a run for our money.” The first home game is the Friday, Sept. 6 against the Corpus Christi Badgers at 7:30 p.m.

Manny Longoria is a one-of-a-kind success story. The Navarro High School product came to Texas Lutheran as a defensive back. After one season of minimal playing time, Longoria came into his sophomore season as a contender for significant playing time at defensive end, which came as a surprise to those who knew Manny from his high school days as a 26 GUADALUPE COUNTY GAMEDAY – 2019
RK
ball-hawking defensive back. In 2017, new defensive coordinator Ricky Matt let Longoria loose on opposing offenses, particularly opposing quarterbacks. With the speed, strength and tenacity to get after the quarterback, Longoria was a revelation in his first year as a starter. He garnered Second Team AllASC honors, led the ASC in tackles for loss per game, and ranked second in
the ASC in sacks per game. His junior year saw even more progress and more accolades. He earned First Team All-ASC, claimed All-Region honors and broke TLU’s DIII-era record for career sacks. Longoria, a preseason All-American, is closing in the TLU DIII-era record for tackles for loss. He needs 10 more in his senior season to break the record.
texas lutheran bulldogs Texas Lutheran finished third in the American Southwest Conference for a second consecutive season and looks to break into the top-two in 2019 with a squad that must fill a void at quarterback, but returns the bulk of its defense and a game-breaking running back trio. TLU went 7-3 in 2018 and posted a 6-3 conference mark for the second straight year. The 7-3 overall record was a one-game improvement upon the 2017 overall mark. The Bulldogs once again lost to Mary HardinBaylor, Hardin-Simmons and Southwestern in ASC play, but the team won a key nonconference contest against Hendrix and once-again survived a tough conference test with East Texas Baptist. TLU also posted ASC wins over Belhaven, McMurry, Louisiana College, Howard Payne, and Sul Ross State. With the always-tough ASC schedule in place, the Bulldogs should contend for the
upper echelon of the conference once again because of a strong defense and a powerful running game. The biggest question of the offseason will be who will step up to replace four-year letterman Kyle Grona at quarterback. Grona started for the Bulldogs in his junior and senior seasons and was an All-ASC Second Team quarterback in 2017 and an Honorable Mention selection in 2018. Leading that TLU defense will be senior defensive end Manny Longoria and junior free safety James Bell. Longoria was a Second Team All-South Region selection and claimed First Team All-ASC honors. Longoria was among the national leader in sacks (19th) and tackles for loss (11th). He also ranked 32nd in forced fumbles. Longoria led the ASC in sacks per game and tackles for loss, and he tied for the conference lead in fumbles forced per game. Longoria ended his 2018 with 37 total
tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss (108 yards in losses), and 10.0 sacks (77 yards in losses). He also had five quarterback hurries, three forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery (which he returned 41 yards for a score). Early in the 2018 season, Longoria broke Texas Lutheran’s DIII-era record for career sacks, and he is closing in on the TLU DIIIera record for tackles for loss. He needs 10 more in his senior season to break the record. Bell is a two-time All-Region and two-time All-ASC First Team selection. In 2018, Bell intercepted a team-high four passes and had 105 yards in INT returns. It was the second consecutive year that Bell led the team in interceptions. He had six in 2017. Bell had two picks in the road win at Louisiana College. He returned the first one 55 yards for the game’s opening touchdown. His second interception came on the Wildcats’ final drive of the game. Bell’s interception preserved a 41-36 TLU win in
2019 – guadalupe county gameday 27
Pineville, Louisiana. Bell finished third on the squad in total tackles (47), and he had a tackle for loss, five pass break-ups, a recovered fumble, and a blocked kick. T LU p l a c e - k i cke r Ju a n Ocampo also returns. Ocampo, as a freshman from Lockhart, was named to the All-South Region First Team in 2018. The 2018 season is the second consecutive year that the Bulldogs have had All-South Region selections on the First, Second, and Third Teams. Ocampo collected a First Team All-Region honor after being
named the American Southwest Conference Freshman of the Year and appearing on the ASC’s All-Conference First Team. Ocampo was the only kicker among the NCAA Division III’s kick-scoring leaders (in the Top 200 for total scoring) to go without any type of missed kick in 2018. Ocampo was a perfect 45-for-45 on extra point attempts, and he was 8-for-8 on field goal attempts. Ocampo was one of three kickers among the NCAA Division III’s top 30 kick scorers to be perfect on extra points. The biggest plus of the off-

season so far is that junior Austin Mathews decided to push back graduation a little while longer and use his fourth year of eligibility as a running back for the Bulldogs. ASC First Team selection Mathews started 2018 as TLU’s third-string r unning back. After injuries at the top of the depth chart, Mathews took full advantage of his opportunity. The junior rushed for 978 yards and 14 touchdowns on 178 carries. Mathews ranked 57th nationally in rushing yards per game, 46th in scoring, 108th in
all-purpose yards, 51st in total rushing yards, and 37th in total touchdowns. Mathews’ 14 rushing touchdowns tied Marquis Barrolle for TLU’s NCAA DIIIera single-season rushing TD mark. Barrolle had 14 in 2014. Mathews finished just two rushing touchdowns behind David Wehmeyer for the alltime school record. Mathews did set the new TLU school mark for rushing TDs in a single game, with five in a home win over Howard Payne on Oct. 27. Mathews rushed for 225 yards on 40 carries that day.
