Dayton takes ‘Bronco Fever’ to Georgetown By Dave Rogers Published December 13, 2008 Guess the ‘Who’s Your Daddy?’ sign ran out of room. So Jim Smesny, owner of Dayton’s Farm & Ranch Supply, took down the names of all those the Dayton Broncos have already vanquished in this year’s playoffs and went another route this week with his sign on Highway 90. “Tivy-Flavored Deer Stew – Saturday at Georgetown,†the sign said this morning as the citizens rolled up the streets behind them and headed to the north side of Austin for this afternoon’s Class 4A Division II state semifinal game. The Broncos, 12-1, play 12-2 Kerrville Tivy at 2 p.m. today at Bernard Birkelbach Stadium in the Georgetown ISD Athletic Complex. As usual, Dayton’s 5,000 citizens are going mobile. “We’re going to have to get ahold of the police and get extra security in town,†Smesny said. “It’s going to be a damn ghost town.†Both Tivy and Dayton are poised to make history as neither school has been in a state championship football game before. Tivy’s Antlers went to the state semifinals in both 1987 and 1988, losing both times to West Orange-Stark. “We’ve just never got over the hump,†Tivy coach Mark Smith said. “A lot of things have to go right.†The Broncos went all the way in Class B in 1931 and again in Class A in 1941, according to records posted on Texasfootball.com. But back then, teams in the smaller divisions were allowed only to compete for two rounds. After wins in bidistrict and regional games, that was it. Dayton had never played more than three rounds of playoff games until last year and now, the 13th straight playoff season under coach Jerry Stewart, the Broncos are in the fifth round for the second straight year. They’ll need to go to round 6 to have a shot at the state title next week, against either Sulphur Springs or Everman. The District 19-4A champ, Dayton has logged playoff wins against Livingston (39-28) Elgin (42-14), Terry (28-13) and Brenham (42-21). At each game, the Broncos fans did their part to put their opponents in a purple haze. “The last couple of weeks, at Katy last week and at Conroe the week before that, we had about 4,500 fans,†said Larry Wadzeck, the radio voice of the Broncos on KSHN-FM for the past 26 years. Dayton’s Bronco Stadium, renovated in 2005 and 2006, has more seats (6,000) on the home side than Dayton has people, but the home side is always full. “There’s a lot of people on the outskirts (of town),†Wadzeck said. Between the Thanksgiving holiday and the official start of Christmas shopping season a couple of weeks ago, a visitor to Dayton then could have left thinking the playoff push was being taken for granted. Smensny admitted as much back then. “But it’s fully caught hold this week,†he said Friday. “It’s been tremendous.†“We stay fired up all year long,†Lori Tapley of the Dayton Chamber of Commerce said. “We love our Broncos and we stay fired up all year long. “Our stands have been full, all of our windows are painted. As far as Bronco Fever around here, it’s booming.â€

Riley named interim Ganders boss By Dave Rogers Published December 13, 2008 Friday was transition day at the Robert E. Lee football fieldhouse. Longtime assistant coach Clint Riley was officially named interim head coach early in the morning and spent the afternoon watching departing coach Dick Olin pack up the keepsakes in his office. “It’s been the same as any other day,†said Riley, the only member of Olin’s original coaching staff from 1992 still remaining with the Lee football team. “We got the kids over here to lift (weights).†“And Coach Olin sits at his desk and pretends to coach,†Olin interjected, poking fun at himself. Explained Riley: “That’s pretty much the way it’s been for 17 years.†Olin, who surprised most everyone in Baytown by deciding to leave the Gander program for the head coaching job at Lewisville High School, will be at Lee through next week. Besides packing away the many plaques, photos and newspaper clippings that covered nearly every inch of his office walls, the second-winningest high school football coach in Baytown history spent much of the day answering calls from well-wishers. “We’ll do nothing different until the (permanent) head coach is announced,†Riley said, indicating the Gander football players have already begun their off-season football work as part of their in-school activity classes. “Off-season starts the first week after you lose your last game,†he said. “When we finish this cycle (of weightlifting), we start adding agility drills, then running as we get closer to spring ball.†A graduate of Blanco High School, Riley played football at Texas-El Paso, then spent one year there as a graduate assistant coach and two in the same capacity at the University of Missouri before one year as an assistant at Texas City. He agreed to join Olin’s staff at Lee even before Olin got the job. With the Ganders, he has coached the offensive line before taking over as offensive coordinator and assistant head coach. In announcing Riley’s temporary promotion, Lee High School principal Bruce Davis explained the process by which the school district will choose Olin’s permanent successor. “We’ll take applications until Jan. 9,†he said, “and we hope to interview finalists in the following weeks. We’d like to name a coach in late January and have him on board by early February.†Davis said Friday that makeup of an interview committee has not been determined, but it’s a safe bet that Davis, athletic director Tom Ed Gooden and district personnel chief Toby York will all have a say in the selection process. Riley has said he is an applicant and Olin is backing him for the permanent job.

OF, HCYA set for Lady Cats Tourney final Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — It sure was not pretty, yet Orangefield Coach Chris Jost will take it. The Lady Bobcats were uncharacteristically sloppy Friday evening against the Huffman Lady Falcons and still found a way to win, 72-52.

OF takes down LC-M at Bobcats Classic Van Wade The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — Clamp-down defense. That’s what Orangefield coach Rea Wrinkle stresses to his Bobcats. Well, the Bobcats have answered the call pretty much all season. After falling behind Little Cypress-Mauriceville 22-11 early in the second period, the Bobcats limited the Bears to just 21 points over the final 22 minutes of the game to zip to a 51-43 victory and a berth in the championship game of their very own Bobcat Tournament Friday night at Bobcat Gym. The Bobcats will take on Port Neches-Groves at 4:30 p.m. today in the title tilt. Orangefield (8-2) was able to cut the Bears (3-7) lead to 24-20 at intermission and controlled the style of the game the final 16 minutes. The Bobcats limited the Bears to just six third-period points and they cranked out 14 to go up 34-30 heading to the fourth. Orangefield received 10 points from Zach Hayes, who finished with 16 points and five rebounds, in the second half and his runner in the lane gave the Bobcats a 47-40 cushion with less than a minute left. LC-M sophomore Hunter Gonzales,, who led the Bears with 14 points and eight rebounds, trimmed the margin to 47-43 by nailing three straight free throws with 0:24 left. The Bobcats’ Tyler Angelle made it a 49-43 game with 0:22 left with two free throws. The Bobcats then buckled down on defense, halting the Bears to a bad shot and Stefan Addison wrapped up the game with a lay-up at the buzzer. “Our defense really paves the way for us,†said Wrinkle. “It makes things so much easier on the offensive end when we clamp down on defense. We were letting them (LC-M) penetrate way too much in the first quarter. After that, we settled down and the kids showed a lot better awareness of where they were at the rest of the way.†Addison finished with eight points and five boards. Angelle and Garrett Granger finished with seven points apiece. Luke Thomas had eight points and eight rebounds for the Bears while Jake Tsuchiya had seven points and five rebounds. The Bears outrebounded the Bobcats 27-22. Orangefield went 12-of-15 from the free-throw line while the Bears went just 7-of-13. LC-M committed 13 turnovers while the Bobcats had 14. The two Orange County foes will meet again Monday night, this time at the Bear Cave at LC-M. “I tell you, LC-M is an up-and-coming young team with Coach (Darin) Harley, and you can just see a ton of potential in them and they will be a threat when 20-4A starts,†said Wrinkle. “It’ll be a good atmosphere Monday night for our kids. There’s the “Bear Crazies†(the LC-M student section) that get the Bears rolling over there. Our kids will face that kind of thing when we go to Hardin-Jefferson later in district. We need that.†In the other semifinal, the PN-G Indians went on a 34-20 tear in the second half to stroll past the Milburn Academy Wildcats 57-43. The Indians (5-5) were patient on offense throughout and only turned the ball over six times compared to Milburn’s 16. Brennan Doty led the Indians with 17 points and Travis Weathersbee poured in 15. Jamey Chatagnier pumped in 10 points and led the Indians with six rebounds while Spencer DeRon added seven points and five boards. PN-G outrebounded the Wildcats 22-20. PN-G went 7-of-13 from the free-throw line while Milburn was just 1-for-2. Jamuad Broussard led Milburn with 16 points and he hit four three-pointers. John Bridges had 11 points and a team-high six rebounds while Charles Francis and Michael Moreau had five rebounds apiece. The Bridge City Cardinals (10-3) will take on Buna at 10:30 a.m. in the consolation finals after they defeated District 21-3A rival Hamshire-Fannett (6-6) 57-53. The Cardinals were down 47-43 at the end of the third period but closed out the Longhorns with a 14-7 spurt in the final eight minutes. Nate McAnelly had six of his 14 points in the fourth period for the Cardinals and finished with 14 points. Tanner Girouard also had 14 points while Zach Heinze had 13 and Will Veillon added eight. Cory Adams led the Longhorns with 14 points while Phillip Williams had 11 and Logan Johnson chimed in with 10. Buna downed Sabine pass 47-46 in a nailbiter.
