KFDM COOP Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Bears facing speedy Indians Van Wade The Orange Leader CLEVELAND — Now that the talk of the 16-game losing streak are behind them, the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears look to continue their winning ways tonight with a tough road trip to Cleveland to face the Indians. The Bears (1-1) are coming off a 16-0 shutout of Bridge City while the Indians (3-0) dumped Huntington 45-2 last week. “The win last week was a great triumph for the kids,†said LC-M coach Randy Crouch. “It’s something they’ve been chasing ever since that first practice. Monday was about getting them back down to earth. It’s all about the next game now and we’ve got a tough date with Cleveland.†The Bears were certainly impressive against Bridge City, especially on defense, where they allowed just 130 yards. The Bears managed 219 yards against a solid BC defense with senior tailback Tevvin Jones leading the way with 107 yards and a 27-yard touchdown gallop on 22 carries. Jones has 126 yards on the season. Quarterback Hunter Gonzalez has rushed for 63 yards and two scores and has passed for 196 yards. “Defensively, we got after it pretty good,†said Crouch. “The first five weeks, including the scrimmages, we faced spread offenses. This week, it’s an entirely different game, facing Cleveland’s Wing-T. They run it and they run it well.†The Indians went 10-0 last season before falling to Rockdale in the second round of the playoffs. “They will be a formidable opponent,†said Crouch. “It’s a program that’s been on the rise the last couple years. They’ve always had tremendous athletes, now they’re putting it all together.†The Indians have also defeated Hardin-Jefferson (35-7) and Bryan Rudder (25-6). Quarterback Jamaul Ross guides the offense and has rushed for 90 yards and has passed for 86 more as he spends most of his time handing off to backs Freddie Carter, Troy Richardson and Marcus Mallett. Carter has zipped for 246 yards and five touchdowns on just 24 carries. Richardson has 211 yards and two touchdowns on just 20 totes and Mallett has a touchdown off his 122 yards on 17 carries. “The Wing-T is tricky, especially with all the misdirection,†said Crouch. “We’re going to have to play low to the ground and sniff out what they’re trying to do. The kids, they learning a lot this week, that’s for sure. Our scout team is doing a good job at simulating what Cleveland likes to do.†The Bears open District 20-4A play on the road at Port Neches-Groves next week.
