KFDM COOP Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 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.
hornets85 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 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. Maybe if LCM played its second team they might have scored.
