redirect the ball into the net to liftSchreiner past Texas Lutheran 1-0Saturday in American SouthwestConference action at MountaineerField.

Senior goalkeeper Tim Martinezand the Schreiner defense recordedtheir second straight shutout as theMountaineers improved to 5-4 in

ASC play and chalked up theirfourth consecutive win.

Schreiner dominated the actionthrough the majority ofthe first half, but neitherteam was able to breakthrough with a score. inthe second half, TLU(3-4-2 in ASC) con-trolled play for theopening 25 minutes,but the Mountaineersfinally started pressingback on the offensiveend, which led to vela’skey throw-in.

For Hernandez, it was his team-leading fifth goal of the season.Schreiner had a couple of near-miss-es in the closing minutes for aninsurance goal, and TLU had onestrong chance to tie the match on a

shot that caromed off the post, butthe Mountaineer defense controlledthe Bulldog offense pretty well in

to TLU’s seven. Martinezrecorded four saves in his sec-ond shutout of the season.

“Today’s match was a greatexample of how staying thecourse mentally and physical-ly will eventually lead to pos-itive results,” Schreiner coachPaul Hayes said. “Our boyshave rolled off four wins in arow and have improved our

Stuckey gashed Champion for a sea-son-high 212 yards and a touchdown

Defense

Tivy junior Will Randal ran for 71yards and a touchdown, and theAntlers rallied twice from behind toknock off Boerne Champion 21-14Thursday in District 27-4A junior var-sity action at Antler Stadium.

Tivy erased a 14-7 fourth-quarterdeficit by scoring twice in the final 10minutes, including a 1-yard touch-down run by Redman Carson with5:08 left to play, and Chris Alvarado’sclutch fumble recovery with 1:42remaining cut short a late Championdrive inside Antler territory.

With the victory, Tivy improved to2-1 in district play and evened its sea-son record at 3-3.

All of Thursday’s scoring came inthe second half as the two teams bat-tled to a 0-0 halftime tie. Championsnapped the deadlock early in the thirdquarter, capitalizing on a Tivy fumblewith a 38-yard touchdown run byRyan McGovern to grab a 6-0 lead.

Tivy answered on its next series,driving 50 yards in six plays. BrettGoodloe’s 20-yard touchdown run atthe 7:28 mark and a Jace Slagle extra-point kick gave the Antlers a 7-6 edge.

Champion took advantage of anotherTivy error late in the quarter to pullback in front. A bad snap on fourthdown sailed over Tivy punter BaileyMcKinney’s head and into the end-

zone. McKinney chased the ball downand got off a short punt that bouncedoff a Charger player and back into theendzone, where Champion’s TimothyGallego fell on it for a touchdown.Charger quarterback nathan elam’s2-point pass to Cort Cowart putChampion up 14-7.

Again, Tivy came right back.McKinney completed passes of fiveyards to isaiah Flores and 33 yards toCalvin Jordan before Randal scam-pered 29 yards for a score on the firstplay of the fourth quarter, but theAntlers trailed 14-13 after misfiring onthe extra-point attempt.

Tivy’s defense took over from there,stopping Champion’s next possessionwhen Kyzar Meyer and Sean Foremancombined for a big third-down sack ofelam deep in Antler territory. After ashort punt, Tivy drove 32 yards ineight plays, with Carson bulling intothe endzone from a yard out andMcKinney adding a 2-point run for thego-ahead points.

Champion moved to the Tivy 40 onits ensuing series, but Alvarado’s fum-ble recovery cut the drive short, andthe Antlers were able to run out theclock after Randal picked up a keyfirst down on a 3-yard run with 46seconds remaining.

McKinney finished the night 14-of-24 passing for 134 yards and addedanother 36 yards rushing. Goodloeadded 59 rushing yards on just fourcarries, and Jordan led Tivy’sreceivers with four catches for 56yards.

“We fought hard,” Tivy coachDavid Jones said. “i wish itwould have been a little bitprettier, but it’s a win and we’lltake it. Our defense is playingreal well. We’ve got to get ourpassing game going a little bet-ter, and we will.”

Mcneil’s 49-yard touchdownrun just three plays into Tivy’sopening series and BradMitchell’s extra-point kickgave the Antlers an early 7-0lead, but Champion knotted the con-test at 7-7 just before the first quar-ter ended on a 23-yard touchdownpass from Poeske to AustinHumphrey and a Clayton HatfieldPAT kick.

Tivy pulled ahead 21-7 at halftimeon a pair of second quarter TDs.Stuckey capped a 90-yard Antlerdrive with an 11-yard scoring run atthe 7:28 mark, and Mcneil followedon the next series with a 12-yardtouchdown run that saw the senior

pile-drive over a swarm of tacklersfor the final six yards.

Champion fought back in thefourth quarter, driving 73 yards in 14plays. Michael Moloney’s dash atthe goal from three yards out cameup short when Moloney fumbled,but teammate Matt Morris scoopedup the ball and carried it into theendzone for the score. Hatfield’sPAT cut the Chargers’ shortfall to21-14 with 9:57 remaining.

Tivy answered with a seven-play,78-yard drive high-lighted by Stuckeyruns of 13 and 11yards before Mcneilfound Ahrens slant-ing over the middlefor a 16-yard touch-down strike with 6:17left to play. Tivy’slead stayed at 27-14after Mitchell’s extra-point kick sailedwide.

Gawryszewski’s interception ofPoeske 14 plays into Champion’sensuing series cut short a promisingCharger drive at the Tivy 23-yardline, and Tivy stopped Champion’sfinal possession at the Chargers’own 32 after Poeske missed on threeconsecutive incompletions.

Battle for the top

Though Tivy still has fourDistrict 27-4A games remain-ing, Friday’s matchup with

longtime rival Alamo Heights atAntler Stadium could very well deter-mine this year’s 27-4A champion.

The two teams’ currently sit tiedatop the district standings at 3-0,with Tivy already having faced —and beaten — top-tier teams BudaHays (31-10) and Boerne Champion(27-14), as well as posting a rain-soaked 34-13 win over SchertzClemens. Heights comes into thecontest after knocking off Champion(24-0) and Seguin (39-32) and blow-ing out Kyle Lehman 35-0 last week.

Heights quarterback Kalen Brock-well passed for one touchdown andran for a second against Lehman,continuing a season of strong show-

ings that have seen the senior throwfor 714 yards and eight touchdownsand rush for another 296 yards andfive scores. Brockwell likes to spreadhis passes around to a variety ofreceivers, though his favorite down-field target is senior Cole Bailey.Bailey’s 175 receiving yards and sixtouchdowns lead Heights’ wideouts,and junior Robert Schuler is closebehind with 14 catches for 168 yardsand two scores. Senior ChristianBeidenharn has also topped the 100-yard mark with 12 catches for 133yards and a touchdown.

Junior Byron Proctor leads theMules’ ground attack with 76 carriesfor 632 yards and six scores, includ-ing a 77-yarder in last week’s winagainst Lehman.

Heights, 5-1 overall, is averagingjust under 28 points per game offen-sively, a number almost exactly inline with Tivy’s point production, butthe Mules’ defense has given up just11.5 points per contest compared tothe Antlers’ 25. Heights has a pair of

district shutouts against Championand Lehman.

Unlike Tivy, Heights’ pre-districtschedule did not include Class 5Apowerhouses Cibolo Steele and SanAntonio Madison. excluding thosetwo outings, the Antlers have givenup just under 13 points per game.

Tivy’s offense has averaged 31points in its three district gamesbehind a strong performance fromsenior quarterback Parks Mcneil,who has rushed for 596 yards and 12scores on the year and passed foranother 857 yards and six TDs.Senior Will Stuckey is also a threatwith 576 yards rushing and threetouchdowns.

Tivy leads its series against Heights20-11-1 in a rivalry dating back to1928, but hasn’t beat the Mules since2005. Heights won the last threemeetings, including a pair of wildcome-from-behind victories in 2007and ‘08 and a one-sided 41-16 rout in2009.
