Gander commander salutes Rangers’ win By Dave Rogers Published October 12, 2008 When it comes to congratulating Sterling coaches and players for their Friday night 21-20 win over Robert E. Lee, you can put Dick Olin at the front of the line. As painful as it must be for the Lee head football coach to see his team lose “The Game†against its crosstown rival for the first time since 1999 and only the second time in 16 years. “They did a nice job,†he said. “Sterling threw the ball deep and they pushed it downfield. Keagan (quarterback Keagan Kogut) won the game for them. They have a quarterback that can take over a game. “There’s no excuses or anything like that. They won the game, and that’s that. They’re 1-0 in district and we’re 0-1.†Things won’t be getting any easier for the Ganders. They must travel to Beaumont Friday to play West Brook. The Bruins are coming off a 61-20 win over Channelview in their District 21-5A opener. Sterling hosts Port Arthur Memorial Friday. North Shore beat Port Arthur 66-7 Friday. Kogut ran or passed for all three of Sterling’s touchdowns, including the go-ahead score, a 38-yard pass to Daniel Rougely in the fourth quarter, and had a hand in 225 of the Rangers’ 243 total yards. But just as important was a solid second-half stand by Sterling’s defense. Lee’s offense dominated the first half, outgaining Sterling 272 yards to 88. But the Rangers allowed just 63 yards and two first downs after a Stallworth Stadium crowd estimated at 12,500 returned to its seats from halftime runs to the concession stands. “We’re built on speed and they’re bigger up front than us,†Sterling defensive coordinator Chad Haynes said. “They were mashing us up front. “So we adjusted up front. We had to start cutting their linemen, and they don’t like to be cut, so they quit firing off the ball.†Olin said the defensive change was important. “They started to submarine, cutting the linemen. We zone block,†he said. “They just eliminated those linemen.†But the Lee coach also said penalties were important, too. The Ganders were assessed 13 walk-offs for 100 negative yards. Three of those penalties gave the Rangers first downs. “They started to move the ball on us in the second half and we started to have a lot of penalties, offensively,†he said. “But that’s coaching. “We’ll have to go back and look at it.†While Kogut completed 10 of 19 passes for 117 yards, Lee quarterbacks Tim Jirrels and Jarrett Havins combined to go 1 for 9 for 17 yards. But these Ganders, as hard as it is to believe, aren’t the high-flying type the pass-happy Olin is famous for. “We were in an I and we were in two-backs and we never intended to throw the football. We intended to run,†Olin said. “We had (318) yards running, which was actually a pretty good night.†While Lee scored on drives of 65, 57 and 44 yards with Dandrick Jackson notching six-pointers running and receiving, Sterling’s two first-half scores were set up by two big plays. Malcolm Zeno blocked a punt and Lesroy Clarke zigged and zagged his way for 62 yards on a screen pass. “There’s no excuses,†Olin said. “All the things that happen in a football game, happen. When you lose a game, people say ‘Aw well, it’s because we fumbled,’ or ‘Aw well, we didn’t catch a pass.’ “It all comes down to coaching. We need to do a better job of coaching and put our players in position to be successful.â€

BH, Patriots optimistic as 19-4A rolls on By Nick Cioci The Baytown Sun Published October 12, 2008 Dayton’s 49-14 win over Crosby and C.E. King’s 35-14 win over North Forest Friday night leaves the Broncos and Panthers atop District 19-4A with matching records of 3-0. Barbers Hill is 2-1 and Goose Creek Memorial 0-3. The Eagles play host to Dayton this week and Memorial travels to Galena Park. Coaches from both teams came out of Thursday night’s so-called “rivalry game†between Barbers Hill and Goose Creek Memorial feeling better about their teams, even with the Eagles claiming a one-sided 52-7 win. Eagles head coach Don Price said his team played a pretty good football game. “We were able to move the ball around and get some turnovers,†he said. “The kids really gave a good effort.†Price said one thing he did not like was how many penalties the Eagles had. “I think we had close to 11 penalties,†he said, “and you just can’t win in close games when you are getting illegal procedures and those type of things.†Price said the 11 penalties was a bit unusual for the Eagles this year. “It’s something we had done fairly well and not had a lot of before tonight,†he said. “Hopefully it’s not contagious but it is something we will work hard this week to improve on.†Price said he was pleased with how his team was able get some turnovers on the Patriots. “Their quarterback (Cody Larson) and running back (DeMartie Allen) are really good and have been able to drive the ball a lot this year from what we have seen in film,†Price said. “We just got some timely turnovers to stop them from driving and were able to take advantage of the opportunities we had to score.†Patriots head coach Boyd felt like his team gave a good effort for the second week in a row. “I’m proud we have been running to the ball and not standing around watching,†he said, “which is usually a tendency of young teams. If the ball is not coming their way they usually stand around and watch. “It shows we are taking a step in the right direction by having 11 guys moving to the football and making the play.†Boyd said the main focus of the Patriots right now is to become a more physical football team. “We are moving the ball on offense but have a mistake here or there and can’t put points on the board,†he said. “On defense, we have two good plays and then five bad plays. We just have to realize people are going to block you and you have to get off that block and make a tackle. “It really just comes down to understanding the game.â€

Grogan’s four touchdowns pace Bulldogs to 49-0 romp of LC-M By Dan Perrine PA News Correspondent LITTLE CYPRESS — First place played last place, and the result was predictable. The Nederland Bulldogs remained undefeated in district with a 49-0 drubbing of the winless Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears Friday night at Bear Stadium. Last week Mid-Jefferson County football programs participated in charity and giving to those hurt by Hurricane Ike in Orange county. Friday night was pay back in Orange county. Nederland (3-1, 3-0) ran up a 49-0 halftime score. Seven possessions resulted in seven touchdowns, 16 first downs, 205 yards rushing, and 190 yards passing by the Bulldogs. The only statistic Little Cypress-Mauriceville (0-4, 0-3) led in the first half was plays run, 32 to 26. The Bulldogs’ Wareall Grogan set the tone for the first half scoring on Nederland’s second play from scrimmage. Grogan broke a tackle and then sprinted 65 yards for the first of his four first half scores. Taylor Trahan added the first of his seven point-after touchdowns to make the score 7-0 with less than two minutes played. Next possession Nederland took only one play to find the end zone. Kirby Bellow faked to Grogan and threw deep to Asa Cardenas who outraced a Bear defender to the goal line. Cardenas dove and hit the pylon for a 41-yard touchdown. Bellow would team up with Ryan Brady for the next two Bulldog touchdowns. The first scoring pass was 26 yards and the second covered 53 yards with 4 seconds to play in the first quarter. On the night Bellow pitched a perfect game of sorts. He was 8 of 8 passing for 190 yards and 3 touchdowns. Between the two Brady scores, Little Cypress-Mauriceville mounted its only drive of the game. Blake Perry busted an off-tackle run on third-and-one for 44 yards to the Nederland 14. It was the first of two first downs for the Bears in the first half. Perry gained 67 yards rushing, all in the first half. A chop block penalty on the next play pushed the Bears back to the 29. Two plays later Cardenas picked-off Hunter Gonzales’ pass and returned it 49 yards to the LCM 47. The second quarter was more of the same and more of Grogan. All the scoring came on Grogan runs of 7 yards, 39 yards, and 8 yards. He finished the half with 184 yards rushing on 16 carries. Grogan’s 39-yard touchdown was a bit of trickery as he took a direct snap while lined up in the spread formation next to Bellow. His final carry of the half, and as it turned out for the night, was on fourth-and-one from the LCM 8 and Grogan dragged two Bear tacklers with him into the end zone for the touchdown. Nederland’s Coach Larry Neumann called off the ‘Dogs in the second half. playing strictly the second team offense the entire half. Joseph Banner did gain 69 yards on 13 rushes. The half played fast as the clock was allowed to run continously the last two quarters. Next week Nederland takes its undefeated district record to Beaumont against the Central Jaguars. Little Cypress-Mauriceville travels to Livingston to play the Lions.
