7th grade Colts split games with Bandera

The 7th grade Colts took on the Bandera Bulldogs on Oct. 4
B Team Colts
The 7th Grade B Team Colts lost to the Bulldogs 16-0.
“This was the first game of the season for some of these guys to play.  They are still learning their positions. Bandera had a pretty good quarterback who was hard to tackle. He was able to break away for the touchdowns and their fullback added both 2 point conversions,” stated Coach Lon Cozby.
“Jack Schneider had a couple of good catches and Lokey Aguero and Rylan Mata ran the ball good for us. Jonathan Gelinas stepped in at quarterback in the 4th quarter and gave us a spark. We found some good things to build on in this game and are looking forward to starting district on the right foot,” added Coach Cozby.
A Team Colts
The 7th Grade A Team Colts beat the Bulldogs 38-0.
Again the offense played very well, but the defense was the true stand out.  Blaine Davis was a boss on the field on both sides of the ball. Aiden Zapata help control the defensive line of scrimmage. Noah Fernandez came in, and played the corner back position very well.
Scoring for the Colts were Burford with a 10yd TD run, M. Rodriguez with a TD reception, M. Rodriguez with a TD run, Burford with a TD run, and M. Rodriguez with a TD run.
“It’s easy to focus on the all the points we have been scoring, but our defense has shut out three straight opponents, and that is a major accomplishment. Our boys should be very proud of that stat more than any touchdowns we have scored. We are all pumped to start district at home against Lytle,” stated Coach Quenton Sanders.

Freshmen Arabians beat Crystal City

The Freshmen Arabians faced Crystal City last Tuesday for their only game of the week. They took a big win in two sets 25-3 and 25-6.
“We have remained undefeated in District and Tuesday we will finish the season against Lytle,” Coach Kim Lane said. “The girls had an outstanding game with many kills and aces.”
With the many kills were Allyson Taylor 4, and Brandi DuBose 1. They also scored 12 aces; Spannagel and Selly Gutierrez each with 3, and Taylor and Allison Stevens each with 2. Several of the girls had runs of serves; Gutierrez 10, Spannagel 10, Taylor 5, and Stevens 8.
“I am very proud of my girls this season,” Coach Lane said. “We have faced setbacks and changes all season and they have remained focused and determined. We will go into our last game looking for an undefeated season and I am confident we will do that. I am very fortunate that my first year coaching in Devine has been with these girls. They are a great group of athletes that have a lot of potential and I am looking forward to watching their athletic career unfold,” said Coach Lane.
