Rivals Shiner and Flato-nia have only met during the regular season, when they have been in the same district.

Friday will add a new chapter into the rivalry as the Comanches (8-3) take on the Bulldogs (9-2) at Cuero’s Gobbler Stadium in the Class 1A Division I regional playoff.

Shiner was a 14-13 win-ner against the Mason Punchers last week in the area round.

“Played hard, got a few breaks and were ahead when the game ended,” Shiner head coach Steven Cerny said. “It was a physi-cal and exciting game.”

“I am proud of how our kids fought. It was a very physical game and the weather conditions caused us to have to deal with some hypothermia issues.”

Flatonia was a 28-14 win-ner over La Villa in their area-round game.

“It was a very com-petitive and hard-fought game,” Flatonia head coach Chris Freytag said. “We had a first-quarter turnover that cost us a likely touchdown. The kids responded well by playing solid defense from the second quarter on and our offensive line con-trolled the line of scrim-mage in the second half. We took advantage of a La Villa turnover in the sec-ond half.”

Anticipation is building in both camps for Friday’s game.

“They are a very good football team and the se-niors have been starting since they were sopho-mores back in 2011,” Cerny said. “Flatonia is going to be very experienced. Our fans and kids will be up for this game.”

“This is going to be an exciting game with Shiner getting that upset over Mason,” Freytag said. “We have a lot of respect for the Shiner team and their

traditions. Our goal has always been to get back to where we used to be (play-offs) and this year, we took a big step.”

“This is going to be a game between two evenly-matched, well-coached and well-disciplined teams. We are so similar it is scary.”

Freytag said he thinks with the game being played in Cuero, it will be the most attended Flatonia-Shiner game ever.

The Bulldogs have had a lot of success as a team running the football with at least four or five differ-ent ball carriers a game in-cluding Will Bruns, Marcus Mica, Mitchell Mica, Aaron Manzano, Gus Venegas and Dalton Griffin.

Flatonia lately has ex-ecuted the passing game with quarterback Bruns finding key targets Venegas and Reed Rightmer.

“Flatonia will come right at you with their run game and then try to get you with a play-action pass,” Cerny said. “We will need to play physical and our secondary will have to make sure we are on our toes, ready for the pass.”

Shiner’s defense will be led by senior linebacker Ja-cob Stafford.

Flatonia comes out in a 4-3 and loves to stunt. Look for Bruns and Marcus Mica to lead the Flatonia defense.

“Our offense will need to figure out to slow their stunting, move the football well and not have turn-overs,” Cerny said.

Stafford, Marcus Cole-man, Tyler Patek and Chad Neubauer should all get plenty of carries. Freytag said the ‘Dog defense will need to make plays, read keys and be disciplined.

“We will especially need to tackle Jacob Stafford well because he is so strong,” he said. “The Shiner de-fensive front seven is good so our offensive line will have to control the line of scrimmage and stay on our blocks longer. We need to win the field position bat-

tle.”

Class 2A Division I re-gional

Hallettsville (12-0) vs McGregor (11-1)

The Hallettsville Brah-mas advanced another round as they simply pounded Jourdanton, 51-6, Friday in Seguin.

“I think our kids handled the adversity brought on by the weather,” Hallettsville head coach Tommy Psen-cik said. “We had to make lots of adjustments.”

The Brahmas will face McGregor Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Manor Mus-tang Stadium in the Class 2A Division I regional play-off.

“McGregor is a total team. They have no real standouts. Just about every player is good,” Psencik said. “They have speed and they all execute very well.”

The ‘Dogs are a spread team that compliments their passing game with in-side and outside zone run-ning plays.

Psencik said the play-ers on the Brahma defense need to be aware of are run-ning backs C.J. Sims and Nate Seale, quarterback Troy Allison and wide re-ceiver Chance Seale.

“Our defense will need to stay the course of playing well and continuing to im-prove,” he said. “We have to swarm to the football.”

Psencik described Mc-Gregor’s defense as fast and packed with talent.

“They do not have as many two-way players so they are going to be more fresh,” he said. “Our offense will just need to continue executing the game plan.”

Players to watch on the defense are defensive back Branden Dietzman and lineman Sam Bass.

Class 3A Division II re-gional

Cuero (8-3) vs Sinton (10-2)

The Cuero Gobblers face an offensive-minded Sinton

GONZALES – In the third quarter of Monday night’s game against Lock-hart, the Gonzales Lady Apaches girls’ basketball team yielded a lead to the visitors.

Gonzales eventually got it back and held on to it thanks to some superb de-fensive play in a 55-49 win over the Lady Lions.

“I thought the turning point was when we were playing defense very well and it picked us up,” Lady Apaches head coach Val-erie Akpan said. “We were able to pressure Lockhart and get some easy baskets. Our defense provided a boost for us and it carried over into the offensive side of the ball.”

The win improves Gon-zales to 4-4 on the season and the team is coming along okay.

“We learn a lot after each game,” Akpan said. “Each game, we get better and correct our mistakes.”

A pair of Kelsey Hardy

buckets put Gonzales ahead 4-2 early in the opening quarter. Lockhart rallied for three straight points to go up 5-4 and Gonzales responded with a 4-1 run as Ashli Malatek rebounded a missed shot and Hardy scored again.

The teams fought to a 10-10 tie at the end of the period.

In the second frame, the Lady Apaches used a 6-0 run to turn a 14-14 game into a 20-14 advantage with baskets from Malatek and Tajerrica Smith. Lock-hart ended the quarter with a 6-2 run to cut Gon-zales’ lead to 22-20.

In the third quarter, the Lady Lions came back from a 25-22 deficit to go ahead, 28-25, on points from Crystal Trejo, Deana Quintanilla and Tassan-dara McCelland.

Later, Lockhart man-aged a 33-29 lead, only for the Lady Apaches to score eight of the last 10 points of the period as Hardy and Smith connected on shots with the team getting a good number of defensive

rebounds.Early in the final period,

Jordan Pitman made a pair of free throws to put the Lady Apaches ahead 43-35. Lockhart then went on an 8-0 run to stage a come-back. Gonzales went back into the lead after Amanda Dixson converted twice from the free-throw line.

Gonzales then took a 51-47 after Hardy, Ma-latek and Erika Hernandez cashed in on turnovers and offensive rebounds. The Lady Apaches finished the game with a 4-2 run.

The Apaches did their best imitation of a mailman last Friday by finding a way to deliver despite the rainy conditions.

Gonzales turned in an-other impressive perfor-mance en route to winning a Class 3A Division I area round game over Freder-icksburg, 19-7.

“I thought we executed our game plan very well,” said head coach Ricky Lock. “Our defense shut down the players we had to shut down to win the game. On offense, we ran the ball effectively and made first downs to keep the ball out

of their hands.”With the win, the

Apaches advance into the next round of the playoffs where they will square off with Rockport-Fulton this Saturday in the Region IV semifinals.

The Pirates (5-7) are the runners-up in District 30-3A where they only picked up two wins in league play. After being outscored by an average of 33.5-24.6 during the regular season, Rockport-Fulton has re-versed their fortunes by picking up a 42-13 win over Hondo in bi-district and upsetting 9-2 Kings-ville King last week.

“They’re on a roll right now,” Lock said. “They

had some hurt people but they’ve got them back. Since they’ve been back they’re 4-2, so they’re play-ing a lot better now than they were earlier in the year.”

The Pirate offense likes

to operate out of the pistol formation where they run a variety of zone reads and counters.

The focal point is quar-terback Anthony Resen-dez, who leads the team with 1,115 yards rushing

and 12 touchdowns. He has also completed 80 of his 163 passes for 1,079 yards and 10 other scores with eight interceptions.

“He is the man, it’s all about him,” said Lock. “They do a lot of things to get him isolated one-on-one.”

When Resendez is not carrying the ball, he hands it off to big back Domingo Gonzalez (117 rushes, 626 yards, 2TD) or scat back Matt Larsen (4 TD). The leading receivers for the Pi-rates are Larsen (21 catches, 322 yards), Alex Fahren-thold (21-365, 4TD) and Joshua Jones (22-231, 2TD).

Rockport-Fulton has been fairly porous in their

3-3 stack defense all year, but seems to have found their groove in the postsea-son where they have only allowed 19 total points.

“They’re kind of a bend but don’t break defense,” Lock said. “They give up a lot of yards and at times a lot of points, but they’ve been playing a lot better since they got some kids back from injuries.”

Leading tackler for the Pirates is DB Dustin Mo-ses (101, 3 INT) and other players to watch include DB Daniel Williams (88 tackles, 2 INT), and LB Brian Tran (82 tck).

Kickoff for the game is set for 6 p.m. at Memorial Sta-dium in Victoria.

team in the regional play-off game at 7 p.m. Friday at Farris Stadium in San An-tonio.

The Gobblers got past Navarro, 51-44, last week in the area round.

“That was a big win for us and it gives us the op-portunity to continue to advance into the playoffs,”

Cuero head coach Travis Reeve said.

Sinton pitched a shutout over Zapata, 27-0, in its last playoff game.

“Sinton is the kind of team you would expect to be in the third round,” Reeve said. “They are good on defense and execute well on offense.”

The Pirate offense oper-ates out of the spread and

has an eyebrow-raising 5,541 yards of total offense this season. They average over 300 yards rushing a game and 119 yards pass-ing a game. Sinton scores 37.0 points a game and gives up 20.0 points a game.

Quarterback Tyler Han-son has completed 90-of-193 passes for 1,439 yards, 11 touchdowns and two interceptions. He also leads

the team on the ground with 2,226 yards and 33 touchdowns.

Running back John Guz-man has run for over 1,000 yards (1,070) and 11 touch-downs. Nick Zepeda is the leading receiver with 18 catches for 328 yards and five touchdowns.

“Our defense has to play physical and we must be aggressive,” Reeve said.

Sinton has a solid de-fense that has four shut outs on the year.

“They have a good defen-sive line and their lineback-ers excel at getting to the football,” he said.

Linebackers Colton Cohea (134 tackles) and Tracker Conn (71 tackles) lead the Pirate defense.

“We will need to win the war up front and not have turnovers. That will give us the biggest chance for vic-tory,” Reeve said.

Football Roundup

Jordan JohnsonOL/DL

The senior two-way starter was in rare form during the Apaches’ big 19-7 win over Fredericksburg in last Friday’s area round of the playoffs.

Johnson had 16 tackles on defense and was equally aggres-sive on offense, where he was credited with nine pancakes.

Gonzales’ defense was as un-yielding as the cold and rainy conditions that raged for most the game, holding the high-octane Billies’ offense to just 209 total yards.

Apache Player of the Week

LEANDER — The Gon-zales Apaches faced an-other playoff opponent that had some momentum and again, the Tribe turned them away.

Gonzales (8-4) severely limited the Fredericksburg Fighting Billies, 19-7, in a cold and rather wet game played at John Gupton Sta-dium in Leander.

“They had won 10 of 11 coming into this game and are a good bunch,” Gonza-les head coach Ricky Lock said. “Early on, the weather conditions were good for us.”

The Billies came into the contest averaging around 400 yards of offense a game. Friday, they were held to a little over 200 yards, about half of their normal aver-age.

“Our defense was just outstanding,” Lock said.

The Apaches got things done on the offensive side of the football as well, with 243 yards rushing, led again by quarterback/run-

ning back Alyas Ramirez who tallied 223 yards and two touchdowns.

“Our offensive line played well,” Lock said. “I am just proud of our over-all effort and we had a lot of young kids come through for us tonight. The seniors have stepped up to lead us into some success.”

Gonzales has had to deal with some unlucky breaks, especially some injuries, but have stayed the course and are playing their best football, Lock said.

Fredericksburg receiver Brayden Beard was the main offensive threat Gon-zales was especially aware off — and ready to face as Beard was held to 16 yards on three catches.

“We jammed him at the line and they moved him around some,” Lock said. “Our coaches did a good job of putting our defend-ers in the right place at the right time. He is a very good player and reminds of Ckody (Burton) from 2007. Beard had a few moments tonight but our kids shut him down for the most

part.”The Apaches started

things with a five-play drive from their 14 to their 30 but had to punt. Freder-icksburg ran three plays for a net of 7 yards and punted as well.

Gonzales’ offense stayed

on the field longer on the next drive with an 80-yard drive in nine plays and over four minutes off the clock.

Ramirez gained 14 yards on the second play to the Apache 39 and Darrance James went wide on a re-ceiver sweep to the Freder-

icksburg 48. Ramirez took the rest of the workload, gaining 14 yards from the 36 to the 22 on the eighth play and going for the score on play No. 9. Jose Contre-ras added the point after and Gonzales led 7-0 with 3:22 left in the first quarter.

The Billies seemed to have better luck on their second time with the ball. Quarterback Kyle Grona completed a 9-yard pass to Joaquin Rivera on a sec-ond-and-7 play for a first down to the Gonzales 46.

LEANDER — Jacob Staf-ford’s 1-yard touchdown dive and two-point con-version run was enough to push the Shiner Coman-ches, 14-13, past Mason in the area round at Leander Bible Stadium on Friday.

This was the Comanche’s fourth straight year to play Mason in the playoffs and their second consecutive year to get a win.

The Punchers got on the board in the second quar-ter with a 1-yard run by quarterback Elliot Bibb. Shiner came within 7-6 in the third quarter as Tyler Patek tossed a 29-yard pass to Chad Neubauer and the extra point was no good.

The Indians got on the board with a 14-yard pass

play. Kaleb Carrizales had touchdown runs of 6 and 45 yards, and added a 32-yard kickoff return for a touch-down. Levi Hernandez scored a pair of two-point plays and had a quarterback sack.

Cox had touchdown runs of 5, 25 and 36 yards. Rick-man did well opening holes for Cox. The offensive line was named Players of the Game — Stovall, Licen, Ramirez, Igle-hart, Gonzales and Rhodes.

ROUNDUP: Hallettsville, Flatonia, Cuero all advance

Grona later had a 14-yard run to the 30. A couple of plays later, he was tack-led for a loss by Gonzales defensive lineman Wade Miller. Rivera took a 16-yard option pitch to set up a fourth-and-3 play at the 23 which Grona converted with an 11-yard run. A couple of plays later, it was fourth down at the 11 and Grona threw incomplete as Gonzales got some good defensive pressure and sec-ondary coverage.

On the next drive, Gon-zales ended up punting close to the 50 and the Bil-lies got inside the red zone, only to turn the ball over on downs again as Grona threw incomplete on fourth down.

In the third quarter, both defenses rose to the occa-

sion and punts were traded several times until a meek kick of 13 yards set up Gonzales at their 43.

The Apaches took their time and controlled the football with a 14-play drive that consumed near-ly eight minutes and a lot of Billie defensive energy. Ramirez capped the drive with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Brant Philippus. Gonzales missed the two-point play but led 13-0 with 7:13 left in the ball game.

A short kickoff gave the Billies good field position at the Gonzales 48 and they went to the passing game. Grona had a 16-yard pass to Rivera to the 19 and later converted a fourth down with a 7-yard completion to Beard.

Beard finished the drive as he lined up as a halfback and took an option pitch

for the Billie’s lone touch-down.

Gonzales responded quickly with a two-play, 61-yard drive. Ramirez took a toss and got his longest run of the game, a 45-yarder. He scored from 16 yards out to put the Tribe ahead 19-7.

Fredericksburg threat-ened once more as they got inside the 10, threw incom-plete on fourth and goal from the 15 but were given a first down on a holding call on Gonzales.Grona threw incomplete on fourth down with just seconds left to end the drive.

The Apaches will head into the regional round for the first time since 2007, Lock’s first year as head coach. The Tribe is set to face Rockport-Fulton at 6 p.m. Saturday at Victoria Memorial Stadium.

Cuero 51, Navarro 44

SAN ANTONIO — Gob-bler running back D’Anthony Hopkins carried Cuero to the regional playoffs as he ran for 174 yards and three touch-downs.

Hopkins also ran a kick-off back for a touchdown as Cuero absorbed two later Panther touchdowns to win

51-44 on Friday. Jared Vernor completed

7-of-10 passes for 164 yards and three touchdowns. Bren-den Pupi had three recep-tions for 85 yards and two scores. He opened scoring with a 37-yard pass from Vernor in the first box and Navarro got a 4-yard run from Anthony Grant for a 7-7 ball game.

Hopkins plunged in from 2 yards out for a 14-7 lead in the second frame and Na-varro had an answer for that score as Ty Durham ran for an 11-yard touchdown. Ver-nor had a 17-yard pass to D’Andre Gallagher to give the Gobblers a 21-14 half-time lead.

Hopkins scored in the third quarter to put Cuero ahead 28-14. A long 46-yard run by Jay Leal brought Na-varro to within 28-21. The Gobblers got a safety and Vernor tossed a 32-yard pass to Pupi for a 37-21 Gobbler lead.

Grant scored on a 13-yard run as Navarro refused to go away. Hopkins returned the following kickoff for a touch-down and later scored on Cuero’s next offensive series.

Grant had a 14-yard run with Durham tossing a two-point pass to Luke Jarosze-wksi and Durham scoring on a 3-yard run with Grant for the two-point conversion to bring Navarro within 51-44.

GONZALES – After losing a close one to Marion (44-43) just a few hours before, the Gonzales Lady Apaches quickly rebounded to defeat the Bastrop Cedar Creek Lady Eagles, 39-31, Thursday after-noon in the Gonzales Tourna-ment.

“This win gave us our spir-its back,” Lady Apaches head coach Valerie Akpan said.

Gonzales made strides in the game on both sides of the ball.

“We played our game well by moving the ball well and we had better defensive position-ing,” Akpan said.

The Lady Apaches (2-2) managed a six-point lead at the end of the first half and Cedar Creek worked hard in the third quarter to come all the way just two points.

Gonzales stood its ground and came away with the vic-tory.

“We started putting more pressure on them,” Akpan said. “We sped up the game and got lots of quick points, which got me feeling very en-ergetic.”

Two baskets by Gonzales’ Ericka Hernandez and one by Renae Camarillo gave the Lady Apaches a 6-3 lead in the

first frame.Cedar Creek was able to tie

the game 7-7 on the basket by Maria Godinez and Gonzales took a 9-7 lead at the end of the period after Camarillo got a steal and scored.

In the second quarter, Gon-

zales continued to hold the Lady Eagles at bay as Camaril-lo, Ashli Malatek and Kelsey Hardy all connected on free throws.

Another Camarillo steal-and-score play and then a trio of baskets from Tajerrica

Smith put the Lady Apaches ahead 21-13 to later go into the break at 21-15.

Gonzales started off the third quarter with four straight, going up 25-15.

Cedar Creek went on an 8-0 run to get within 25-23 and

Taylor eventually extended their lead to 29-21 in the third frame but Gonzales began a little comeback of its own — Sheridan Tate connected on a jumper and later set up Smith for a three-point basket.

In the fourth box, Gonzales got a tie game at 35-35 on the long-range shot by Smith and Taylor went up by two points on a bucket by KJ Guyton. The Lady Apaches forced a 37-37 tie as Tate got an offensive board and scored.

Yoakum beats VW junior varsity

It took most of the first quarter for the Yoakum Lady Bulldogs basketball team to get into the game.

Yoakum opened the Gon-zales Tournament with a 47-17 win over the Victoria West junior varsity team Thursday morning, improving to 3-1 on the season.

“It took a while for us to get started,” first-year Yoakum coach Zach Burleson said. “It is early in the season and we are still learning.”

The teams went through a little over the first quarter without any points before Jacarri Hights grabbed an of-fensive rebound and scored a short jumper.

“I was pleased with the ef-fort we gave after the first six minutes,” Burleson said. “Just took a while for us to wake up.”

Victoria West responded with the triple from Morgan Trevino for a 3-2 lead and Yoakum scored nine straight points on a free throw from Celine Markert, Latrice Brown got a steal and fed Desire Gar-za, a little later Garza scored again after a pass from Brown.

Brown scored after a dish from Hights who later a hit a jumper after a defensive rebound, putting Yoakum ahead 11-3 after the first quarter.

The Lady Dogs opened the second period with six of the first eight points as baskets from Garza, Mark-ert and Hights.

Victoria West got a triple from Darijanna Tasso to come within 18-5, and the Lady ‘Dogs closed out the quarter with a 10-3 run.

Yoakum played sound on defense as they held Victo-ria West to just two points in the third quarter, to lead 38-10 heading into the fourth.
