Quickness key to Dayton defense By Dave Rogers Published November 27, 2008 DAYTON — Dayton’s defensive players are small, their coach, Jerry Stewart allows, but they make up for it with ... Not speed, he says. “We’re not real big on defense and we’re not real fast,†Stewart said Wednesday as his Broncos prepped for Saturday night’s third-round Class 4A playoff game against Rosenberg Terry. “We’ve got one cornerback who run a 5.0 forty. Both our linebackers run 5.0.†So what’s Dayton’s secret? “We’re quick,†Stewart said. “For 25 to 30 yards, we’re as good as anybody. And that’s where the game is won.†Dayton has won 10 of 11 games so far this year, including bidistrict and area playoff games against Livingston and Elgin. Elgin was averaging nearly 30 points per game entering last week’s game. The Broncos beat them 42-14. Aaron Jenkins, a junior who was District 21-4A newcomer of the year, and senior Xavier Edwards are defensive tackles for the Broncos who go 5-8, 184 (Jenkins) and 5-10, 188 (Edwards). They are the only two-year starters for the Broncos. They are survivors. “You’ve got to be strong-minded to play in Dayton,†Edwards said. “Yeah,†said Jenkins, “we’re down to about half the people we started with.†That’s because the coaches require a tough off-season regimen of their players. It’s the Dayton answer to overcoming a lack of great size. It’s the road to quickness and toughness. “Our off-season is year-round,†Stewart says. “And we don’t pay anybody to work our kids out. “In all other sports, they (players) have somebody they’re paying to take lessons. We give lessons here, and they’re free. You show up and you do it.†Quickness, Stewart and his staff believes, starts with specific weightlifting exercises. “We do a lot of squat work, power cleans. We have a powerlifting team. They’ll come after school and do bench presses on their own.†Bench presses, one of the key ingredients to most strength tests, including the NFL, are not all that popular with Stewart. “The kids don’t like to squat (lift). They don’t like that bar on their back,†the coach said. “We tell them you haven’t lifted until the bar hits your back. “And bench pressing? We tell them if you’re laying down pushing somebody off you, you’re in trouble.†Stewart says Dayton’s off-season routine separates the dedicated players from the wannabes. “Usually when the off-season comes, people look for other sports to play,†the coach said. “And in football, you’re doing to off-season in the summer. You’re not going to lie up there in bed.†Jenkins says it’s not that tough. “We get about two months off to lift weights and run track,†he said. Dayton’s defense faced a big challenge as the season began. Five returning starters were kicked off the team as two-a-days began for disciplinary reasons. “It wasn’t really that scary,†Jenkins said. “It was time for somebody else to step up. At the beginning of the season (when Dayton allowed 42 points in its loss to Friendswood and 30 points in a win over North Forest), we were having problems. “But the last six or seven weeks, we’ve come together.†Coming together is the key to the Dayton defense – as in gang-tackling. “They’re glad if there are nine people on the ballcarrier,†Edwards said. “If not, they say we’re not doing our job.†Terry downed Sharpstown 38-6 in its area-round game last week and the Rangers have a power-running offense that concerns Stewart. “Our defense has to slow them down to give our offense a chance,†the coach said. “If we play defense, we’ll be fine. If we don’t, we’ll be sad on Sunday morning.â€

Congrats!!

Garrett stepping up his game Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader It was starting to feel like forever ago when Quintavious Garrett ran for over 300 yards against the Nederland Bulldogs. It was 317 yards to be exact for all you stat freaks. There have been minor injuries and even time standing on the sideline for the senior West Orange-Stark running back but not anymore. Garrett looks to be back and determined at the right time for the No. 3 Mustangs who take on the Gilmer Buckeyes this Saturday in Lukfin. The senior has 1,117 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2008 and has no plays of slowing down again anytime soon. “I had to start to step my game up and help our offense,†Garrett said on Tuesday. “Against Caldwell, I could have run the entire game. I was just on that day. Caldwell played a good game but I played like I am used to playing.†Garrett admitted there were times in this season he started worry a little too much about making fancy moves with the football instead of running first and asking questions later. “I had to start taking football serious again,†Garrett said. “I needed to stop juking and wait for the big plays to come to me. During games I was trying to juke and now I see some teams cannot tackle me. I have to use my strength and now the big plays are coming again.†WO-S Coach Dan Hooks has noticed the change in Garrett and believes the back’s performance against Caldwell was Garrett’s best to date. “The other night was his best job ever in a Mustangs’ uniform,†Hooks said. “He has run for over 200 yards before but he has never dragged people into the endzone like he was against Caldwell. He was really outstanding for us that night. Quinny was making a lot of yards after he got hit and running through people. He was a man possessed.†The Caldwell game did not start off great for Garrett. On the first snap from scrimmage, Garrett was called for a false start. Garrett would later fumble in the first quarter. “At the first of the game I was so nervous and got the false start call,†Garrett added. “The fumble then got me scared. I had to really step up and start doing what we do best.†Garrett said he quickly shed a few wrist bands off his arms and went to work. The tailback quickly admits he is not alone in the backfield for the Mustangs. Garrett will be the first to say how much he enjoys seeing quarterback Ortavious Hypolite run the ball. Hypolite has 739 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground this season while passing for 1,277 yards and another 15 scores. “Hyp is a smart quarterback,†Garrett said. “When he gives me the ball, sometimes I come back and tell him to keep it. I love seeing him run. He gives me a lot of confidence. If I mess up, Hyp is there with me because we both have to be leaders for each other.†Hooks had a smile on his face when he started to talk about his running back/quarterback combination. “Gilmer will have a great duo and we have Quinny and Hyp,†Hooks said. “When things are humming with those two, it is really nice. We just want to make sure it is our duo who is on cue Saturday. We would love to see the same performance out of Quinny he had against Caldwell. He gave us his all that night.â€
