Shiner and Nixon-Smi-ley discovered good thingsin Saturdays scrimmageaction.

Te Comanches, work-ing against Karnes City,

ound their oense is aheado the game compared tothis point last year. Andthe Mustangs, acing SanAntonio Cornerstone,ound out theyre not hal-bad on the deensive side othe ball.

Shiner got two touch-downs rom its rst-teamoense and one more romthe second-team in a 3-0win against Karnes City.

I eel our oense is wayahead this year as com-pared to last year, Coman-ches head coach StevenCerny said. Our oensive

line did great and that is aplus since we have almostevery player back rom lastyear. I think both our quar-terbacks did an excellent

job.Shiners rst-team o-

ense scored on its rst se-ries in just ve or six playson a 71-yard touchdownpass.

Karnes City also recov-ered two umbles duringthe Comanches rst-teamoense on the eld.

During the second serieslater on the scrimmage,the Comanches drove 70

yards in our plays, scoringon a 66-yard run, and thenmoved the ball through theair.

Te Shiner second-stringalso scored on its rst se-ries, driving 70 yards in veplays and scoring via a 49-yard touchdown run.

Te Shiner oenses com-bined or about 395 yards

o oense.He said the deense got a

little bit o late start.We were not physical

the rst time out, Cernysaid. But starting with thesecond series, our deenseshowed its dominance.

Karnes City got around20-30 yards on its rst-teams opening series butShiners deense recovereda umble.

And did so on the nextdrive.

And stopped the Badgerson the third drive.

Karnes Citys second-team oense had a littlemore luck, driving romtheir 30 to the Shiner 20but ended up losing a um-ble.

But the Shiner deensestopped the rst-team KCoense rom getting pastthe 50.

In all, the Shiner deenseyielded no touchdownsand held Karnes Citys o-enses to around 100 yards.

Shiner recovered severalumbles and made on in-terception.

Cerny cautioned thatShiner still has lots o workto do.

We do not want to gettoo excited since this is justthe rst scrimmage againstanother team, he said. Wewill get set to ace Yoa-kum (on Friday) and thenget ready or the openeragainst Industrial on Aug.

26.Nixon scored nine times

oensively and once on de-ense against a small Cor-nerstone squad, but coachCarlton McKinney said hewas happiest to see a lot okids get time on the eld.

Te scrimmage wentwell, he said. Te kidsplayed well. Our goal was

to play with energy and e-ort and we did that.

Fullback Joe medinascored on the second andfh plays rom scrimmageon long runs, and McKin-ney said his oense is aboutwhere it should be.

Our oense was pro-ductive and worked well.Our oensive line did agood job, he said. Terewas no miscues and we

nished o our blocks. Tebacks did a great job.

Deensively, the Mus-tangs returned an intercep-tion or a touchdown andallowed only one score inan aerial barrage, that scorecoming on the nal drive othe scrimmage.

Te deense playedwell, McKinney said.

San Antonio Cornerstonethrew the ball 85 percent othe time early on.

Tere are some thingswe need to improve on.Tere were no blown as-sigmnents. When Cor-

nerstone did make somecatches, we tackled well,he added.

Te Mustangs will geta ar better guage o theirprogress in their scrim-mage this week against de-

ending APPS state cham-pion St. Paul.

We are going to striveor more improvement,he said. We are lookingorward to that rst gameagainst Flatonia.

Te wrestlers are usually ormer highschool and college wrestlers; went to awrestling school; did amateur wrestlingand a ew even competed in the WWE or

NA, Perez said.Depending on the size o the community

where the event is being held, the numbero ans is between 60-95.

Perez some events have maxed out atover 100 people.
