Wildcats KO Rockets
Canadian’s JV and Junior High
gridders each soundly trounced

there last Thursday. In three
games, the Rockets were able to
cross the goalline only once—
against the still undefeated JV—
anil even then got robbed for the
conversion by a Kobe Looney pick
and return duwnfield with the 2 sto-
len points. The Cats drove the point
home by scoring four unanswered
touchdowns in the second half in a
436 win.
The seventh-graders fired the
find volley of the evening, blanking
the Rockets in a 16-0 final powered
by Matt Dickinson's 9-yard and
66-yard touchdown runs. The
eighth-graders shook took it to the
mat against Wellington with a 31-0
win sparked by two Trevor Schafer
TD romps in the first quarter.
The three teams will host the
Panhandle Panthers here today.
Opening kickoff is 5 pm
The JV Cats moved the ball at
will agairwt Wellington Thursday,
stacking up 415 yard* of total rf-
fense and dominating the score-
bawd The Cats are working on a
perfect record and a District cham-
pionship with just three more
games to go in the season.
Austen English covered most of
the field in an 85-yard touchdown
run that got the lumbers railing

tion from Camden Dorris, and an-
other quick Jaunt across the gnalline
by Enghah. made it 144) early in the
second. The Rockets responded
with a l yard TD, but let the con-
version pass get away, when
Looney nabbed it and ran the
length of the field behind h»
hlockers—Waytand Thomas and
Abel Avila—for two more points.
A 36-yard run by Tony
Livingston was the third quarter’s
only score, but the Cats cut loose in
the fourth. Patrick Vasques struck
from 30-yards aid and Tony
Livingston charged in for the
two-punt conversion Vaaquec
found the goalhne again—this tone
from the 66-ywd mark—and Dorris
earned t across for the conversion.
Cody Helms struck the final
blow—a 55-yard touchdown run to
top Canadian's scoring at 436.
“We had 415 total yards of-
fense." said coach Craig Campbell.
'The guys up front did a great job
(Znch Long, Jacob Fletcher, Brian
Gallagher, Uzandro Escamilla, Joe
Franks and Wayland Thomas)."
Coach Campbell noted that his
four backs—Robert Reyes, Cody
Heims, Auston English and Patrick
Vasques—each averaged 20 yards
or more per carry. “We had a bunch
of big plays offensively” he said.
Canadian’s eighth-grade squad
took an 136 lead in the first half
against Wellington, and never
looked back, putting paints up in
each subsequent quarter and claim-
ing a 316 shutout against the
Rockets The win improved the
eighth-graders’ record to 4-1-1 and,
with only three games ahead,
makes them a near shoe-in for the
District championship.
Trevor The Moose" Schafer got
loose, scoring the Cats’ first two
touchdowna—one from 15-yards
out, and another from the 5-yard
line. Quarterback Grant Stucki un-
furled a 40-yard pass to Lagan
Baker for the score just before the
halftime buzzer
In the third quarter. Jesse But-
ier buzaed in from 10-yards out, and
in the fourth Logan Baker found
the emfrone again—this time on an
3yard run In the only successful
extra-point conversion of the game,
Baker booted one through the
posts—a first for the eighth-grade
team this year, and a rare feat in ju-
nior high football.
Coach Robert Lee credited the
win to “great running by Trevor
Schafer, Logan Baker and Jesse
Butler, and excellent defense by
Cohn Loworn, Grant Stucki,
Coderro Maurido and others.”

The seventh-graders dominated
Wellington during the first, second
and fourth quarters, according to
coach Jimmy Chappell. In a rela-
tively low-scoring game, the Cats
posted 16 first-half points, and heki
the Rockets out of the endzone for a
shut-out.
Matt Dickinson scored Cana-
dian’s two touchdowns—one from
9-yards out, which he followed with
the 2-point conversion run, and the
other from the 66-yard mark in the
second quarter. Ben Hill put 2 more
points up on the conversion.
They played solid offense and
defeme,” coach Chappell said,
"grinding out two touchdowns and a
long drive that kept the ball out of
Wellington’s hands during the
fourth quarter. In the third quarter.
Wellington moved the bad, but was
unable to score."
