PLAYOFFBOUND

F ive years, 11 months and 24 days. Around 3,146,400

minutes will have elapsed between kickoff of the Fred-ericksburg High School var-sity football team’s bi-district showdown against Somerset Friday night and kickoff of the Billies’ last playoff appear-ance against Cibolo Steele in 2007.With six years of waiting soon

behind them, Fredericksburg players have little time to cel-ebrate their 9-1 regular season and undefeated District 27-3A championship before wiping the slate clean for post-season play.Yet for those Billies who

struggled through a 2-8 cam-paign in 2011 and battled their way to a 5-5 mark in 2012, making the playoffs validates three years’ worth of effort.“It justifies that all the blood,

sweat and tears that we as coaches and players have put into this program has finally paid off,” senior defensive back and wide receiver Matthew McManigle said.

“Competing in the playoffs means to me that I have another chance to play for my team, family, school and community,” junior linebacker Wyatt Bran-nan said. “The playoffs mean that I get another chance to play the game that I love for a little while longer and to achieve something that has never been done in Fredericksburg High School.”

Though he was not around for the Billies’ last postseason trip, third-year head coach Lance Moffett understands what impact a playoff berth in football means to Fredericksburg.

“It’s very reminiscent of what we’ve done before,” he said, “but our challenge is going to be to do something different. At some point along the way if we’re fortunate enough to win some playoff games, we’ll be able to do more than any other team.”

Success in the playoffs requires “laser-focus on the intensity, the preparation and taking care of business,” the FHS head coach said.

“You have a tendency when you make the playoffs to get caught up in the hype of the playoffs and so do we want to get caught up in t-shirts and just being there or do we want to accomplish greatness,” Moffett said. “At the

end of the day, it’s about our choices we make in regard to the attitude we bring to practice and are we going to be willing to prepare the way we have through-out district.”

Junior lineman Jake Mohr believes that the Billies’ season can be compared to building a layered cake.

“My idea of the playoffs is like the icing on the cake,” Mohr said. “To complete the cake, you have to start from the bottom up and we have reached the top and now we have to cover the cake with icing.”

“Team work, great coaching and total com-munity support have been instrumental in get-ting us where we are,” Mohr added. “Play hard, pray hard, give God the glory for our blessings and we will win — one game at a time!!!”

With every victory that they notch along the way, this year’s Billie squad leaps another hurdle that has stood in Fredericksburg’s way for half a decade.

A win over rival Boerne all but assured the Billies their first playoff berth since 2007 and wins over Navarro and Wimberley in subse-quent weeks guaranteed FHS its first district championship in 15 years.

“We came together as brothers and that’s why we are successful,” junior safety and wide receiver Brayden Beard said. “We are finally getting respect across the state of Texas for our football team.”

With their winning streak now at nine games, Fredericksburg inches closer to the 10-game streak set by the 1986 team and the 11-win sea-son posted by the 1965 team.

During their Saturday practice following the regular season finale Friday against Bandera, Moffett urged his squad to “keep doing what

we have done,” in order to keep their goals alive.

“Playoffs are a new season,” junior quarterback Kyle Grona said. “To me, playoffs mean the start of a legacy that will continue to be held for a long time.”

As part of their Saturday workouts, Billie players run sprints for mistakes and men-tal errors committed in the previous game.

Though the number of laps

has decreased significantly throughout the season, each series of sprints ends with the team reciting a set of goals for the rest of the season.

“I timed it up so that we would say district champs (with seven sprints to go),” Moffett said. “Then we would get down to the last six and we would say bi-district champs, area champs, regional champs, quarterfinal champs, semifinal champs and we’d finish with state

champs.”Mottos instilled by Moffett

and his coaching staff over the last three years like “Right Way Every Day” and emblazoning the phrase “Über Alles” on the

backs of Billie jerseys have pro-moted responsibility among players both in the locker room and in the classroom, all while developing a pride in serving as a role model for younger stu-

dents and representing Freder-icksburg as a community.

“Playoffs mean an opportuni-ty to represent my town while playing the game I love,” senior defensive end Clayton Braden

said. “How we do in the play-offs will be the legacy we leave behind. We can do great and be the team that ‘was’ or do poorly and be the team that “should have been.”

Players, coaches and fans have caught playoff fever as the Fred-ericksburg High School varsity football team prepares to face Somerset in the Billies’ first post-season contest in six years, but only one person — Fred-ericksburg Elementary School employee Steve Miller — is more excited than head coach Lance Moffett.

For many years, Miller has walked the sidelines of FHS varsity football games, sharing in the ups and downs with the team and bonding with players like senior running back Paco Martinez.

“We all love Miller,” Martinez said. “He’s always been there for

us through bad and good. He holds us together.”

At the end of each Billie vic-tory, Miller joins the team for a post-game celebration dubbed “Miller Time,” where the team circles up, pumps their fist high in the air and shouts “Sure!,” a tradition carried over from pre-vious head coach Dean Herbort.

“When Coach Herbort left, Steve was very anxious,” Moffett said. “I got the job and about two weeks into it, he had been calling Mrs. Blackwell and wanted to know if he was still going to get to ride on the bus or whatever.”

Moffett and defensive coordi-nator Bill Wilder went over to the elementary school to meet and visit with the man Moffett calls “the Billies’ number one fan.”

“It was a very emotional meet-ing and I basically went and

asked him if he was going to continue to ride on the bus with us to our games,” Moffett said. “Of course he’s very emotional anyway about the Billies. He immediately teared up and got all excited and said ‘You know it, coach. I’m going to ride with the Billies everywhere they go.’”

“Miller Time” has taken on added meaning this season as the Billies have shouted “Sure!” for each victory they earn.

By Friday’s win over Bandera, Miller led FHS with nine con-secutive “Sure!” cheers, a num-ber the team hopes to grow well into double digits before the season ends.

For the seniors the first year Moffett was head coach at FHS, having Miller on the sidelines was a comfort zone for them.

“They connected with that and so last year it was the same thing,” Moffett said. “Miller is

part of what we do now. It’s like a member of the coaching staff and a part of the team.”

“I get so caught up at the end of the game in all the things that are going on,” he added. “My mind’s going 100 miles an hour after the game and the kids remind me when we get ready to break that it’s Miller Time.”

Miller’s connection with the players on the roster has given him a small, but important role on Fredericksburg’s success this season, serving as head cheer-leader for a program on the rise.

“He’s a vital part of this pro-gram. (The players) all love him and respect him,” Moffett said. “I wanted to embrace those kinds of our tradition and our heritage, our pride in our pro-gram. To me, those are the little details that to me matter more so than anything else.”

It is every coach’s hope that his team, as a whole, can achieve more than the sum of his individual players. For Fred-ericksburg High School Coach Randall King, the pieces fell into place this past weekend, when his squad rallied togeth-er for a second-place finish in the state team tennis tournament in Abilene.

“What an incredible weekend of ten-nis,” King said. “The kids were awe-some.”

Billie varsity netters defeated Kilgore, 10-4, in the state team tennis quarter-finals, before ousting Vernon in a close 10-7 semifinals decision on Friday, Nov. 8. Fredericksburg then bowed out, 10-2, to defending champion Abilene Wylie in what was a “back-and-forth” finals on Saturday, Nov. 9.

This was the first time the FHS tennis team has reached the finals level of state team play since 2009, when the Billies lost to Wylie in a rain-shortened format. This was also FHS’ fourth trip to the state tournament since 2009.

“It was really awesome to see these kids pull together as a team and achieve such a great accomplishment,” King said. “As coaches, we could not be prouder of them. They played with heart and deter-

mination.”“I would like to thank all the par-

ents and support that came and cheered these kids on this weekend. To be a state finalist in 3A tennis is something these kids and families will have with them forever,” King said.

“We are looking forward to a great spring of individual tennis,” he added.

State QuarterfinalsIn Fredericksburg’s 10-4 dismissal of

Kilgore in the quarterfinals, play was not a “walk in the park.”

“Kilgore was a very solid team that has made regular appearances at the state tourney,” King said. “Doubles wins were the key to getting momentum in this match. After doubles, we were up 5-2 going into singles, which gave us the edge to close it out.”

Harper earns first 1A trophy,bests San Saba by eight points

FHS girls bow outin area loss to Bellville

By Danny Hirt Although the Harper High

School girls’ cross coun-try team had no one finish higher than 29th place, the Ladyhorns managed to have enough runners in high posi-tions to capture the state UIL 1A title during Saturday’s championship round held at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock.

The win is the first team title in Harper High School history.

Sydney Collins was Harp-er’s top runner, completing the course in 12:41, while her teammates Payton Reid and Hope Dillon finished nearby with times of 12:47 and 12:51, respectively, for 31st and 34th places.

Harper took the title with a score of 78, eight points lower than second place San Saba.

In the boys’ division, the Longhorns’ only qualifier, Micah Middleton, completed the 3.1-mile course in 18:43 for 58th place out of a field of 108 competitors.

“The girls simply ran their best race of the season when it counted the most,” said Harper head coach Will Reid. “It was special,” he continued. “I cannot say enough of how blessed I am. They gave it their all and it paid off for them. They did a great job of representing Harper.”

Reid also praised the perfor-mance put in by Middleton, a junior.

Volleyball season at Freder-icksburg High School came to an abrupt end Thursday as the 26th-ranked Billie varsity vol-leyball team fell 16-25, 18-25, 20-25 to eighth-ranked Bell-ville in the area round of the UIL playoffs in a match held at Bastrop Cedar Creek High School.

“I’m very proud of this group of kids,” head coach Jason Roemer said. “We played our best match of the year in our last one. There’s no way we can be upset or disappointed. We left it on the court.”

“After the match, the Bell-ville coach told me, ‘Be proud of your kids. They showed what being a Battlin’ Billie was all about tonight. They fought to the end and played very well,’” Roemer added. “She’s right. We did just that. Every time we would get close to them on the scoreboard they would answer with a big play.”

The Brahmanettes raced ahead to an early 4-0 lead and despite an FHS rally to trim the deficit down to two points at 14-12, Bellville went on a six-point run and the Billies never again got within two

Fredericksburg High School cross country didn’t win any top placings at the Class 3A state meet at Round Rock’s Old Set-tlers Park on Saturday, Nov. 9, but head coach Dan Aldrich is confident next year will be a solid one for his program.

Clarissa Sanchez finished 75th out of a field of 106 girls. The freshman’s time was 13:01.77. Sanchez’ time was three-hun-dredths of a second better than 76th-place Ashley Strong of Brownwood, who ran a 13:01.80.

Juan Hernandez, a sopho-more, finished 40th out of 102 runners and ran a 17:32.77. He finished less than a tenth of a second ahead of 41st-place Christian Garcia of Clint (17:32.84).

“Although both runners were not close to their season running average times, they represented Fredericksburg well and gained an experience for next year that many are unable to do,” Aldrich said. “We are looking forward to having both runners return to lead our teams next year into a season with high expectations.”

By Matt Ward

In order for the Fredericks-burg High School varsity boys’ basketball team to make its fifth consecutive postseason appear-ance, head coach Tim Kaman will have to perform a balancing act this winter.

On the one hand are the young men who have gone through off-season workouts and preseason scrimmages with the team and on the other hand are the 12 players who will be contending for spots on the varsity and/or junior varsity rosters once the varsity football team completes their postseason run.

“Right now, we don’t know what team we’re going to have because of football,” Kaman said. “We know what we have here. I think our kids learned all about where we are and where we need to be. We’re going to have to work hard.”

After two scrimmages last week, the Billies will get an extra week of practice this week before regular season play opens Tuesday, Nov. 19, at home against Ingram.

“It’s good that we’re missing those (football) kids for the sake of getting our other kids more experience,” Kaman said. “If they are backups, they’re just one play away from being in the lineup, so they’ve got to be

ready.”Integrating the football play-

ers back into the team chem-istry will be the toughest chal-lenge for the FHS head coach.

“We’re going to be a much quicker team (when the football players return). We’re a little taller, not quite as quick right now,” Kaman said.

“I want to put all of our kids into positions where they’re going to be successful,” he added. “With the group we have now, we have to play a certain way and it’s not the way I’d like to play with the entire group that I know we’re going to have. When we get everyone, then we will be able to run a little more and put more pressure on people because we have more depth.”

While he will likely activate 11-12 players on any given night for varsity play, Kaman said there are about 15 players who are capable of suiting up for the varsity.

Several players may split time between the varsity and junior varsity lineups to maximize their in-game action.

“That’s why we were so suc-cessful last year because of guys like Hunter Fries, Graves Cowsar and Ryan McBee,” Kaman said. “All those guys played JV their junior year and I think that’s why we were as sur-

prisingly successful as we were last year because those juniors got a lot of experience.”

Making the playoffs for a fifth year in a row is key to a success-ful season for the Billies, he said.

“We’re trying to get to where that’s just a staple, but it’s not easy,” Kaman said. “The most important thing is that we peak in district around January.”

Standing in their way is a tough District 27-3A slate, which includes perennial pow-erhouse Boerne.

“They graduated probably the most, so they’re going to be down,” Kaman said, “but them being down is like everyone else being pretty good so I still think they’ll be the favorites.”

Staying afloat in district will require the Billies “to play well every night,” Kaman said. “There’s no shoe in. There’s no easy team. We may be the easy team. Who knows?”

“We’re trying to get the mind-set with our guys that it’s anoth-er year and it’s another step for-ward,” he added. “That’s up to our guys. Do they want to be the team that breaks the streak and not make the playoffs? It’s just a matter of what are they going to do on their time to get better. If we represent the school and the community of Fredericksburg the way we’re supposed to, I think we’ll be successful.”

After coming up short in tournament action over the weekend, the Fredericksburg High School JV girls basketball team was back on track Tuesday night when they defeated Mason, 30-27.

On Saturday in the Marble Falls Mini Tourna-ment, the FHS JV girls lost to Dripping Springs, 48-11, and to Marble Falls, 47-23.

Only one game is on the schedule for the JV girls in the coming week when they travel to Ingram on Monday, Nov. 18, for a 5 p.m. game.

FHS 30, Mason 27At home in the FHS Gym on Tuesday night, the

FHS JV girls won over Mason, 30-27. Players of the game were Koenig, Whiting and Sieckmann.

“We started the game playing patiently on offense and aggressively on defense,” Coach Kristy Danz reported. “I was pleased with the first two quarters of play.”

“Unfortunately, our third quarter woes contin-ued tonight … we had too many turnovers and did not transition to defense quickly enough,” Danz said. “Even though we lagged in the third, we were able to turn it around in the fourth.”

She said, “I was so proud of our effort in the end of the game. We fought back and took the lead with about 1:18 left in the game with a great pass from Chase Whiting to Bethany Sieckmann.”

“Then,” she said, “with 1:02 on the clock, Mason sank a three to go up by one. We never faltered, we inbounded the ball, brought it down the court and Anna Koenig made the go-ahead basket on a pass from Whiting. It was an exciting finish and a nice win.”

“The approach to this tournament was simply to practice,” Danz said. “We found our weak-nesses and will work hard in practice in the com-ing weeks to prepare for district play in January.”

“We came out firing with

Anissa Kneese hitting a three and a two to get us off to a 5-0 start,” Grona reported.

She added, “They made a run at us in the fourth and it shows this team’s guts that they fought it off and pushed past.”

Trick plays, unusual forma-tions, new stunt packages, dual quarterbacks on the same play — Bandera head coach David Sine threw everything but the kitchen sink at good friend Lance Moffett and the Battlin’ Billies Friday night.

The Fredericksburg High School varsity football team used a more familiar weapon against the Bulldogs as junior quarterback Kyle Grona connected with junior wide receiver Brayden Beard for three touchdown passes dur-ing the Billies’ 28-10 home victory over Bandera.

“(Coach Sine) threw it all at us and we expected it,” Moffett said after the game. “We knew they were good and we didn’t do a good job of adjusting to it early. He’s a smart coach and his plan was to keep our offense off the field.”

Fredericksburg’s victory clinched an undefeated loop record for the Billies, who celebrated their first district championship since 1998 after the game.

“Football is a sport where you have to keep earning respect all the time,” Moffett said. “We wanted to estab-lish ourselves as a team. If we don’t go 5-0 (in district), then people question it. This was an exclamation point to leave no doubt that we are the dis-trict champions.”

Fast startPlaying with a short field

after returning the opening kickoff to their own 43, FHS struck quickly, scoring on a 17-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Grona to Brayden Beard with 8:23 left in the first quar-ter.

Fredericksburg’s second score came soon after as the

Billie defense forced a three-and-out to set up a 44-yard touchdown run by Paco Mar-tinez, giving FHS a 14-0 lead with 5:14 left in the first quar-ter.

“The first two series, I thought we were going to beat them 80-0,” Moffett said. “We ran seven plays and had 14 points on the board. We shut them down on defense and everything was going good.”

And then the Bulldogs got into the game.

“I knew that (Sine) was going to have a plan for us and after we scored 14 points, they were going to have a long drive,” Moffett said. “They found what they were good at and they were able to execute it.”

Bandera responded with an 11-play, 75-yard scoring drive capped off with a five-yard TD run by Ty Neff to trim the defi-cit to 14-7 early in the second quarter.

The Bulldogs were able to drive the length of the field twice in the second quarter, though the Billie defense held Bandera at bay, keeping the score at 14-7 at halftime.

“They controlled the ball for 16 minutes in the first half,” Moffett said. “You start look-ing at stats and you think, they’re going to win this game if we continue to let them do that.”

Taking momentumBandera opened the sec-

ond half by taking the kickoff down to the FHS 17, setting up a 32-yard field goal by Mav-erick Hicks to trim the deficit to 14-10 with 10:49 left in the third quarter.

“We didn’t panic or freak out,” Moffett said. “We did what I think great teams do and responded to what we needed to do to fix the prob-

lem and I think we did a good job of halftime adjustments.”

The Bulldogs then surprised FHS with an onside kick, but were unable to capital-ize, turning the ball over on downs.

Fredericksburg took advan-tage, driving 67 yards on 10 plays, including a nine-yard touchdown pass from Grona to Beard to give the Billies a 21-10 lead with 4:24 left in the third quarter.

“The first half, we were good, but they just got into some blitzes that we weren’t expecting,” Martinez said. “We came back and hit them in the mouth. It took a while to pick up momentum because they

had it, but we took it from them.”

The two schools traded pos-session early in the fourth quarter before the Billies put the game out of reach on a five-play, 65-yard drive to set up the third touchdown pass from Grona to Beard — a five-yard score — as FHS took a 28-10 lead with 7:39 left in the contest.

Sebastian Ortega inter-cepted the next Bandera pass and the Billie offense was able to run out the final 7:22 to secure the victory.

“I knew we were really good (coming into the season). We just had to come prove it,” Beard said. “We just wanted

respect. Even as we were win-ning a lot of games, I feel like no one respected us and I think we’ve earned that now. If not, we’re going to go prove it next week (in the playoffs against Somerset.)”

When two teams that appear evenly matched on paper face off on the field, winning often comes down to who can impose their will upon their opponent to secure a victory.

As the 28th-ranked Fred-ericksburg High School var-sity football team prepares to begin its first playoff game since 2007, key to a victory over 80th-ranked Somerset Friday night in the bi-district round at Frank Mata Memo-rial Stadium in San Antonio will be taking “Fredericksburg football” to the Bulldogs.

Kickoff in the game is slated for 7:30 p.m.

“The thing we’ve got to do is to stay on task and stay on mission and purpose and not get caught up in the hype of the playoffs and the mystique that they might bring to it,” Fredericksburg head coach Lance Moffett said Monday.

“We’re all about the team and we’re going to display that Friday night,” he added. “They may beat us because they have more talent than us, but they’re not going to beat us because they have a better team than us. We are going to be the better team.”

Rich in traditionSomerset has a program rich

in tradition and success, built on the shoulders of head coach Sonny Detmer, a high school coaching legend, whose son, Koy Detmer, was an 11-year NFL veteran quarterback and now serves as his dad’s offen-sive coordinator.

A third generation in the Detmer family, Koy Detmer Jr., is the Bulldog quarterback and is on the recruiting radar at Brigham Young Universi-ty, where his uncle, Ty, was a Heisman Trophy winner.

“That just oozes tradition and pride,” Moffett said. “At the end of the day, it’s a foot-

ball game and they are clearly a great football team, but I sure like our match-up with them.”

The Bulldogs oper-ate primarily out of an I-formation, pro-style offense, which Moffett said is “what you would expect when a (former) NFL quarterback is the offensive coordi-nator.”

“They have a huge offensive line and the running back is huge as well,” he added. “We’re going to have our work cut out for us, but I like our chanc-es. We’ve played great defense all year and nobody has been able to run the ball on us save

Canyon Lake. They had three explosive plays and if you take away those plays, they had just over 200 yards of total offense.”

Somerset has been in a slump coming into the playoffs, losing to Pleasanton 22-15 and La Vernia 38-10 in their last two games after a bye.

The Bulldogs opened the season with victories over San Antonio Lanier 39-6 and Canyon Lake 47-35 before

falling to Port Lavaca Calhoun 63-42.

After their game with Cuero was rained out, Somerset

went on a four-game winning streak, defeating Kingsville King 35-34, Hondo 42-15, Poteet 44-0 and San Antonio Sam Houston 32-20.

“You never know (what can happen) when you get into the playoffs. We have a great foot-ball team in all three phases of the game,” Moffett said. “If we can do our brand of football which is hardnosed, stop the run defense and put them in a situation where they have to throw, I think we’re going to be in good shape.”

Winning with disciplineIn order to be successful on

Friday, Moffett said the Billies will have to maintain the dis-cipline they have shown both on and off the field during the regular season.

Fredericksburg began the scoring in the first quarter on a 25-yard touchdown run by Josh Cleland with the extra point attempt being no good.

Bandera then responded with 10- and 55-yard touch-down runs with success-ful two-point conversions to make the score 16-8.

“The first half was a little shaky, and we had some kids moved up to varsity and some injured,” Petsch said. “Some players had to play new posi-tions and it took a little time for them to settle in. In the second half we came out fired up and ready to play. The defense was making key plays and the offense got the ball moving in the third.”

The Billies’ 12 third quarter points (they were unsuccess-ful in two-point conversions) came from a one-yard touch-down run by Cleland and then a 13-yard touchdown pass from Cleland to Mitchell Edwards.

The JV squad also helped its cause with fumble recov-eries by Josh Stafford and Ty Handley and interceptions by Edwards and Cleland.

Ty Handley was named player of the week for offen-sive and defensive play.

JV bests Bandera 18-16 to end season

2013 FHS VARSITYTENNIS TEAM

SECOND IN STATE — Winning second place in Class 3A competition of the state team tennis tournament held Nov. 8-9 in Abilene were Fredericksburg High School varsity team members (front row, from left) Shailey Hawkins, Grace Igarta, Hannah Boubel, Emily Warren, Shannon Smith, Myra Powell,

“Our penalties have dropped down and we’ve gotten a lot more disciplined,” Moffett said. “I think that’s where the focus has to be more is on the mental side of it.”

“In the playoffs, you want to treat every game like we did Navarro,” he added. “We told the kids against Navarro that we have to match their inten-sity. They’re known for how hard they play the game and if we want to be like them, we have to play the game as hard as they do. That’s the mindset that we want to take into it.”

While the Billies have decreased their penalty and personal foul issues, the Bull-dogs struggled with those problems late in the season, culminating in a La Vernia game that saw Somerset penalized 16 times for 139 yards and have two players ejected.

“We’re not going to get caught up in all that,” Moffett said. “We’re coming to win a football game and between the 25 seconds that a play is going, we’re fixing to get after you.”

With the potential of another six weeks of football for the Billies, the message in the FHS locker room has remained consistent — “Right Way Every Day.”

“Are you mentally and physi-cally prepared to play for another six weeks? We’re not going to talk about week two, three, four, five or six because we’ve got to totally focus on week one,” Moffett said. “We’ve been trying to do that all year and it’s at a premium now because it’s win or go home. You either win or you’re taking up equipment.”

While the celebration of the Billies’ first district champion-ship in 15 years went on long into the night Friday, the time for enjoying the past is over, the FHS head coach said.

“We’re 0-0 now. 9-1 and 5-0 in district means nothing. Every team we play through-out the playoffs is going to be as good as or better than every team we played in district,” Moffett said. “It’s do or die time. It’s a bi-district cham-pionship. Let’s go get another trophy and then we’ll worry about the next one after that.”

the Marble Falls Mini Tour-nament, the FHS freshmen girls lost to Dripping Springs, 36-28.

“The girls played a great first half and then a sluggish third quarter,” reported Coach Kristy Danz. “We committed too many turnovers in the third quarter and missed too many second half free throws to win the game.”

“I saw a lot of good things from the girls,” Danz said. “They played hard and did not give up.”

“In game two, Morgan McBee and Hannah Wilson played very well,” reported Danz, who coached the team in the absence of Roemer.

She said, “We did a better job defensively in this game, causing Mason to turn the ball over, creating several fast break opportunities which allowed us to score on easy layups.”

“I was pleased with the effort put forth by the entire team,” Danz said. “They played hard and attempted to do the things I asked.”

She added, “We need to get stronger on offense and free throws, but that will come as the season progresses.”

Heritage School closed out the 2013 regular football sea-son with a convincing 52-8 victory at Selma River City Believers Friday evening.

Now the Eagles will set their sites on this weekend’s first round of the TAPPS Division II six-man football playoffs as District 4’s third place repre-sentative.

Heritage will head to Wich-ita Falls Saturday to face WF Notre Dame Catholic School at 2 p.m.

Other District 4 teams involved with post-season action include league cham-pion San Antonio Castle Hills (5-0, 10-0), second place Seguin Lifegate (4-1, 5-5), and fourth place finisher Believ-ers (2-3, 5-4). Like Heritage, Believers made the playoffs as a wild-card team.

Win over SelmaJoe Meek was the go-to

guy for Heritage, scoring six touchdowns (including two from interception returns) to lead the Eagles to a 52-8 vic-tory Friday at Believers Chris-tian School in Selma.

Meek was also top rusher in the contest, compiling 135 ground yards on 16 carries. In addition, he completed two of three passes for another 22 yards and a TD, that one com-ing with only 1:32 remaining in the game to teammate Joe Lucas on a 14-yard play.

“This is exactly the kind of game this team needed,” said Heritage head coach Tim Shipman, referring to last week’s 27-26 home loss to Seguin Lifegate when an Eagle comeback fell inches short. “We have played some tough hard-nose battles this year and we have to work hard and put together a complete game. We were very close to that tonight.”

While the Heritage offense

generated 247 total yards (215 rushing, 32 passing), it was the defensive effort that came into its own Friday, confin-ing Believers to only 93 offen-sive yards (including minus 13 yards rushing on 17 attempts).

“I was very pleased with the way we moved the ball early and the way the defense really stepped up,” Shipman said.

Meek got the Eagles on the scoreboard first with a one-yard plunge with five minutes gone in the opening stanza. Jacob Huser’s conversion kick was true, giving Heritage an 8-0 margin.

On the night, Huser con-nected five of six PAT tries.

Three minutes later, Meek added a second TD, this time taking the ball from the Believers’ 39 all the way to the end zone to put his team up, 16-0.

Meek added two more scores in the second period, first by intercepting an errant pass on his own nine-yard line and returning all the way. He then capped his first half scor-ing with a five-yard jaunt that ended in pay dirt and put the Eagles up 30-0 at intermis-sion.

Picking up in the third quar-ter where he’d left off ear-lier, Meek went to the house on a one-yard carry at the 1:32 mark. Moments later, on Believers’ next possession, Meek picked off another pass and returned it 40 yards for another tally, increasing the Heritage advantage to 44-0.

Believers was able to avoid the shut-out early in the fourth period when Chris Cottingham reeled in a pass from Tyreck Hill that covered 42 yards. Cottingham’s PAT was good, putting the score at 44-8.

Meek also had a hand in the Eagles’ final touchdown of the night when he found Lucas open on a 14-yard aerial that went for a score with only 1:39

left. Huser’s kick put the final score at 52-8.

Playoff game SaturdayDespite last week’s relative-

ly easy win, Saturday’s trip to Wichita Falls Notre Dame Catholic School could prove to be quite challenging. After all, the Knights are ranked num-ber one in the division and are sporting an impressive 9-0 record.

And Coach Shipman and company know that Notre Dame will have good reason to load up for Heritage.

“There is no doubt that Notre Dame will be gunning for us,” he said. “We have knocked them out of the play-offs the last two years in the state semi-finals.”

Shipman’s homework tells him that the Knights “return a couple of good running backs in Cody McElroy and Wes Brinkman. Ninety percent of the offense goes through McElroy and if we can slow him down and put points on the board, we can win.”

The Eagles’ mentor knows that anything could hap-pen Saturday when the two schools face off on the grid-iron. “Our goals are the same as they were in the begin-ning of the season. Right now, every team in the state is 0-0. This team (Heritage) has worked hard all year and they deserve this opportunity,” said Shipman.

Sophomore quarterback Gus Sagraves was directly involved with all three of Harper’s touchdowns in the Longhorns’ 24-7 victory at Junction Friday evening.

The game was the sea-son-ending contest for both schools. Harper ended the 2013 campaign with a 2-3 District 14-1A Division I record (5-5 overall) while the host Eagles finished up 1-4 in the league and also 5-5 on the year.

League-leading Mason (5-0, 8-1) wrapped up the dis-trict title with a convincing 61-10 win over Center Point, while Brackett (4-1, 8-1) took home second place by virtue of its 55-22 home victory over Ozona (3-2, 5-5) Friday

Because of its title, Mason will draw a bye in the first round of the Region IV UIL playoffs this weekend and will play the winner of the Shiner vs. Santa Maria game next weekend.

Meanwhile, Brackett takes on Weimar Friday while Ozona plays Flatonia.

Harper 24, Junction 7Sagraves ran for two touch-

downs and threw for a third in the Longhorns’ 24-7 win at Junction. The signal caller con-nected on 13 of 24 passes for 252 yards while not incurring any interceptions.

Leading rusher for the game was Harper’s Jayden Baumann who gained 120 yards on 22 carriers.

Following a scoreless first quarter, Sagraves managed to get the ’Horns on the score-board with a one-yard plunge with only five seconds left on the opening half clock.

Briley Jalowy made the first of three point-after kicks on the night to give Harper a 7-0 mar-gin at intermission.

Jalowy also led the Longhorn defense with 16 total tackles, 11 unassisted, giving him a grand total of a team-leading 121 tack-les for the season.

Midway in the third period, however, the Eagles tied the game when Juan Perez carried the ball across the goal line, fol-lowed by a successful PAT kick.

A minute later, Sagraves tilted the scoreboard back in Harper’s favor when he found Jacob Pierz

open on a 51-yard pass play that resulted in a touchdown.

Early in the final stanza, Jalowy found the range on a 37-yard field goal, boosting the Longhorns’ advantage to 17-7.

For the game, Pierz hauled in four aerials for 89 yards. Meanwhile, teammate Brayden Hagendorf caught another four passes for a team-leading 99 yards.

Sagraves finalized the Harper scoring when he outran Junc-tion defenders on a 21-yard journey to the endzone with 5:02 left in the game.

On defense, Longhorn Guy Stevenson intercepted a pass thrown by Junction quarter-back Drew Martinez. Marti-nez was able to complete only two of his 14 aerials for 20 yards.

Although the Harper Lady-horns were able to hold off a Weimar run in the opening game of the Area round of UIL volleyball playoffs last Thurs-day, they simply could not quell the rising tide of momentum from the Lady Cats for the remainder of the match.

The match was played in the Gonzales High School gymna-sium.

Harper, which fell to 30-7 on the season, took the first contest 27-25, but was edged out in the last three by scores of 20-25, 23-25 and 20-25.

The Ladyhorns had captured the District 27-1A champion-ship by winning all 10 of their league matches.

The league’s two other playoff schools — runner-up Leakey and third place Junction have also been eliminated. Leakey succumbed to Brackett 3-2 in the opening bi-district round while Junction fell to Round Top-Carmine 3-0 in Area com-petition.

Loss to WeimarTrailing two games to one in

the fourth and final contest of the night, the Ladyhorns trailed by as many as four points (4-8 and 5-9) before making a run at Weimar in the latter going.

Harper managed to close the gap to two points (19-21 and 20-22) before the Lady Cats reeled off three consecutive points to win the game as well as the match.

HHS maintained a strong and determined presence in the opening game, jumping out to a 7-1 margin, then extending that to seven points (20-13) before Weimar made a run.

The Lady Cats managed to tie the score twice (24-24 and 25-25) before Harper put together two consecutive points to win the contest by a 27-25 count.

After Weimar pulled out to a six-point advantage (13-19), the Ladyhorns charged back, tying the score at 20-20 on a hard kill

by Sarah Whitten.But the Lady Cats regained

their composure, keeping their heads above water just enough to pull off the victory.

For the night, Courtney Ahrns and Sarah Whitten contributed 11 kills apiece, while Taylor Reid and Macie Lumpkins registered 20 and 17 assists, respectively.

Five Ladyhorns recorded double-digit digs, let by Ahrns with 19, followed by Reid with 14, Lumpkins and Whitten with 13 each, and Logan White with 11.

points in the set, falling 16-25.“Bellville was the best 3A

team we played all year,” Roemer said. “They had 46 kills and 68 digs in three sets of play. That’s high level vol-leyball.”

In the second set, the two schools played to a virtual draw with neither side lead-ing by more than a couple of points until FHS was forced to take a timeout down 13-17.

The Billies were able to rally back to a 16-17 deficit but Bellville pulled away late for 25-18 win over Fredericks-burg.

“We only had 27 kills (in the match), but we attacked very well,” Roemer said. “They just made great digs and kept balls up that against other teams would have found holes and been kills for us.

“Bellville was clicking and made every play, and it seemed they made their own luck,” he added. “We attacked balls off of their shoulders and heads and balls would bounce up and stay in play.”

Fredericksburg opened set three on a 4-1 run, but Bellville matched with a 4-1 run of their own as the two schools went point-for-point until a 19-17 Fredericksburg lead was ended on a seven-point Brahmanette run.

“All year long we’ve talked about teams that we are even with we have to stay close and play our best volleyball after point 20,” Roemer said. “We gave ourselves chances, just could not capitalize when we needed to.”

Though the Billies were able to add a late kill, Bellville fin-ished off Fredericksburg for a 25-20 set three victory to take the match.

“Offensively, we were real-ly pleased with what we got from our attackers,” Roemer said. “Monica (Montgom-ery) did a great job of run-

ning our offense and attack-ers attacked and found holes.”

“Their offense put us in binds but I thought our defense did a great job of defending a strong offen-sive team that made very few errors,” he added. “Pay-ton Robertson, Kara Kyzar and Kiersten Kott all did a good job receiving serve. We played well in all facets, but it was just not good enough to win on this night.”

FOOTBALL

The Fredericksburg High School freshmen football team capped its season with a 29-16 win over Bandera at home on Thursday, Nov. 7.

“This was a great way to end district and the year,” said coach Dusty Gibbs. “We talk-ed all week as a team about staying focused and ending the year on a high note. I was proud of how the guys responded and got the job done.”

Neil Loth led the way with three rushing touchdowns, while Wyatt Hebert also car-ried in another TD.

The running scores were made possible by the fresh-men’s ability to block well up front, Gibbs said.

“We were able to establish the running game early, and that opened up some play action passes later,” Gibbs said. “The defense did a great job on fourth-down stops in our territory to get the ball back.”

a thriller,” King said. As FHS led the match, 4-1, action was halted due to rain.

“All matches were forced indoors to Fairway Oaks Coun-try Club in Abilene, which has two indoor and three covered courts,” he said. “Wylie and Frisco Lone Star were first on to finish their match,” he said, adding that Wylie won 10-1.

“After a three-hour delay, we were back on,” he said. Fred-ericksburg quickly closed out a boys’ doubles match to lead Vernon, 6-1.

“We lost a thriller at the No. 2 boys’ doubles to end up 5-2 after doubles. Our lead grew to 6-2 before evaporating,” King said.

Vernon didn’t go without a fight. It reeled off five singles wins to grab the lead, 7-6.

“The Billies were resilient and answered with four wins to close out one of the best team tennis matches of the year in a crazy indoor envi-ronment never experienced by this group,” King said.

Finishing at 10:15 p.m., FHS beat Vernon 10-7 to advance to the finals.

FHS JV tennis sets court appearanceA final chance this fall to get some match time on the courts

is being seized by the Fredericksburg High School junior varsity tennis team, who will take on the 2nd Annual SCUC/Judson ISD JV Team Tournament tomorrow, Nov. 14.

Eight teams are expected to play in a “mini team format” with four boys’ singles, four girls’ singles, two boys’ doubles, two girls’ doubles and one mixed doubles on the courts. The first team to post seven match wins is the winner of the round.

In addition to Fredericksburg, teams expected to compete are Kerrville, Floresville, Judson, Southwest, Clemens, Steele and San Marcos.

First match for the Billies will be at 8:30 a.m. in the B Draw against Clemens. Second round matchups will be at 11:30 a.m. and third round matchups will be at 2:30 p.m.

By razor-thin margins, both of Fredericksburg High School’s varsity golf teams won first place at the Nov. 11 Brandeis Invita-tional at the Fair Oaks Country Club in Fair Oaks.

The varsity boys shot a 321, tying second-place La Vernia. But Fredericksburg won on a tie-breaker. Hudson Ross led all golfers on the day with a first-place finish as he medaled by shooting a 74.

The varsity girls’ 381-shot per-formance was one better than second-place Boerne Champion, which had a 382.

The next tournament will be Nov. 18 at the Cedar Creek Boys Invitational at Wolfdancer Golf Club in Cedar Creek.

Varsity boysThe varsity boys made noise

with their first-place finish of 321 shots, winning the tie-breaker over La Vernia, courtesy of the fifth man’s score.

Fredericksburg’s fifth man, Langston James, who finished tied for 34th with a 94, outshot La Vernia’s fifth man, Luke Moc-zygemba, tied for 39th with a 95.

Ross’ first-place finish of 74 was two shots ahead of the five tied for second place.

Among the five was Cole Grona, who medaled in sixth place with a 76.

Also competing for Fredericks-burg were Tyler Kaman with an 83 for a 10th-place tie and Hagan Edwards with an 88 for a 20th-place tie.

Hernandez’ visits to state as expe-rience the team can build upon for next year. FHS is looking to return 17 of 20 letterman run-ners.

“We are expecting both Clarissa and Juan to lead the groups with confidence that a return to the state meet will yield improve-ment,” Aldrich said. “Both run-ners went into the state meet anxious and filled with mixed emotions that they were sur-rounded by better runners than themselves. In the end, they gained confidence that they now know what it takes to succeed at the state meet and that they are great runners like the others. I am proud of how these young athletes ran today and look for-ward to the return of our runners and what we are expecting to do in 2014 with our teams.”

CELEBRATING after they had just posted one of FHS’ two match wins against state title taker Abilene Wylie are Fredericksburg High School’s varsity doubles partners Shannon Smith and Allison Vaughn.

Almost everything broke the right way for the Freder-icksburg High School varsity baseball team.

The Billies took care of business over the weekend, defeating Bandera twice in the final two games of the regular season, while Navarro lost the first game of a two-game series against Canyon Lake.

However, with the Panthers defeating Canyon Lake 15-1 Friday night, Fredericksburg (12-16-2) finished in a tie for third place with Navarro, who held the head-to-head tiebreaker and took the final

playoff spot in District 27-3A.“We ended the season on a

high note. Clay Gentle pitched an outstanding game here on Thursday and Kody Behrends pitched really well at Bandera on Friday,” head coach Todd Doucet said. “It was tough to hear that Canyon Lake had lost to Navarro on Friday but I felt good about taking care of business at Bandera.”

“Going into the last game with a chance to get in the playoffs was still an accom-plishment,” he added. “It was a good season. We have a lot of returners for next year so

“I guess the thing that I thought was most awesome, was that, between every point, we just laughed,” said Moeller-ing, remembering how he and Igarta, enjoyed their moment

to the fullest — making his-tory for FHS as only the sec-ond boys’ doubles team in the school’s history to reach the finals level in Univer-sity Interscholastic League (UIL) State 3A Tennis Tour-

nament play.“Even if I was angry at

myself, I’d just look at Logan and we’d just laugh about it,”

State tennis finals was ‘awesome’ experience I’m pleased with the way they represented this town...I just can’t say enough about how good a guys these are.”

— FHS Coach Randall King“

The season came to an abrupt end for the Fredericksburg High School varsity softball team over the weekend as the Billies were swept in a best-of-three series by Pleasan-ton in the bi-district round of the UIL state softball playoffs.

FHS fell 2-0 at home Friday evening in game one of the series before being shut out 6-0 at Pleasanton in game two.

The Lady Eagles will now face District 25-3A winner Sealy in the area round.

After receiving a first round bye, District 27-3A champion Wimberley is set to face Needville in the area round, while second place Bandera defeated Somerset in bi-district play and will face La Grange in the second round.

Pleasanton 2, FHS 0Unable to produce any sustained offense,

the Billies fell to Pleasanton 2-0 in game one of a best-of-three bi-district playoff series Friday night in Fredericksburg.

Fredericksburg’s best scoring opportunity came in the bottom of the fifth inning as Taylor Gamble led off the inning with a single to centerfield.

Moellering said.“That’s something we’ve

always had together. We just can’t … we have this mental inability to … get mad at each other,” Igarta said.

The method works for the Billie pair as they climbed the state draw Monday, April 29, first by taking a quarterfi-nals win over Abilene Wylie’s Wyatt Newcomb and Bren-dan Thompson, 6-3, 6-7(8), 6-3, and an afternoon semi-finals win over Krum’s Jake Johnson and Zach Ripple, 6-1, 6-4.

In finals actions yesterday, April 30, on courts at Texas A&M University in College Station, Moellering and Igar-ta were bested only by broth-ers Nital Patel/Rahil Patel of Abilene Wylie, 6-2, 6-3.

“We had played the broth-ers before and beat them during state team tennis in the fall, but we knew they would be much tougher this time because when we did beat them, it was in a pro-set shorter match and it was very surprising to them at the time because they had never seen us before,” Igarta said.

“Their coach told us that, after we beat them at state (team tennis,) that we were their motivation,” Moellering said.

“We knew they were going to come out tough,” he said.

The finals did prove to be their toughest match of the spring “because they were that good,” Igarta said.

“There were a lot of nerves in our first match, but after that, we cooled it down final-ly,” Moellering said.

The second match, the FHS duo relaxed and went about the business of having fun.

“In our second match, I just walked up to him and I was like, ‘Logan, kick-serve this one over that fence,’” Moeller-ing said.

“Me and my buddies, all four of us have this competi-tion to see if we can serve the ball with enough spin to have it just jump over the fence,” Igarta said.

“He did it and it was the most amazing thing!” espe-cially because it was in a state match, Moellering said.

“In that afternoon match, we had about a solid 30 min-utes that everything clicked and everything fell perfectly,” Igarta said.

In the finals Tuesday morn-ing, both Fredericksburg ath-letes felt their level of play continued to withstand the opposition.

“I feel we played really well.

We hit good shots,” Moeller-ing said.

“The last time we played them (in the fall,) it was very intense — like a screaming match,” Igarta said.

This time, “it was a very good

sportsmanship match. It was fun,” he said.

“The first time we played them was pretty intense,” agreed FHS Coach Randall King, who coached them with assis-tance from FHS Coach Donald Hohn.

“It was loud, but I don’t think it was out of order – just very intense,” he said.

“This time, it just never reached that level. The tennis was still very good, but it never reached that intensity. If we had gotten a little closer to them, I think we might have broken their composure,” King said.

He described the program’s first boys’ doubles appearance at state in 50-plus years as “Awesome. Incredible. It’s the first time I’ve gotten boys to state since I’ve been here,” said the coach who has led the program for the past 19 years.

“We’ve been that close numerous times. Jeff Wanek was close and a few others got very close as well. We’ve just always been right there on the cusp and these boys finally broke through,” King said.

“I’m pleased with their play and I’m pleased with the way they represented this town, this school and this athletic facility. I just can’t say enough about how good a guys these are. The opportunity to carry them through that far was amazing,” King said.

Ladyhornsadvance in playoffs

For the first time in school history, the Harper High School softball team won a playoff game, defeating Charlotte 16-1 in the bi-district round of Re-gion IV action Tuesday evening.

The contest, originally slated for Monday in San Antonio, was washed out due to heavy rain. Last night’s match-up was played in Bandera.

The Ladyhorns now advance to the area level and will face Falls City Friday at 7 p.m. at Judson High School.

Harper 16, Charlotte 1Harper’s hitting and pitching

were both well-oiled machines against the Trojanettes Tues-day.

Taya Beyer led HHS at the plate with a 4-for-4 effort which included two doubles and four runs batted in. She also scored four times.

Meanwhile, Ladyhorn pitcher Shelby Koenig was handling things from the mound, strik-ing out 10 Charlotte batters along the way.

Harper staked itself to an ear-ly lead, plating five runs in the first two innings before the Tro-janettes were able to score their only run, that coming in the last half of the third frame. From there, the Ladyhorn batters remained red hot, as Harper scored two runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings, then seven more in the top of the sixth to ice the game.

After all three shooters scored a 59 after six shots, Worrell’s score of 57 in the shootout bested Jacoby’s 55 and Moellendorf ’s 52 to win the event.

The top .22 rimfire title was won by Beckmann, who shot a score of 52. Marianna Behrends shot a 51 for second place, while Lester Behrends and John Fox tied for third place with a score of 50.

When they step onto the greens in Austin this week, the Fredericksburg High School (FHS) boys’ and girls’ golf teams will make school history for having both quali-fied for the UIL State 3A Golf Tournament in the same sea-son.

The Billies are scheduled to step up to the tees at the Jimmy Clay Golf Course in

Austin for two rounds split over tomorrow and Friday, May 2-3.

The boys’ squad, consist-ing of Harry McMurrey, Cole Grona, Sam Rogers, Hud-son Ross and Luke Wynne-Smith, will be working to earn a repeat of last year’s state championship.

This year’s FHS team quali-fied for state after winning

Fredericksburg’s third con-secutive Region IV title on April 18-19 in Corpus Christi. At that contest, they shot a collective 608, which was a seven-stroke improve-ment over last year’s team score of 615 that won the state crown.

Also representing Region IV at the state tourney will be Boerne, which took sec-

ond with a 645, and El Campo, which won third with a 656.

A botched bunt attempt was popped up and caught by Lady Eagle pitcher Emma Garcia who was able to dou-ble off Gamble.

Following the double play, Kiersten Kott singled and was followed by Christa Schulz who worked a walk. Garcia shut down the threat with an inning ending strikeout.

In the bottom of the sixth, Kaylee Olfers led off with a walk and was moved to sec-ond base on a Maddy John-ston sacrifice bunt.

Pleasanton ended the Bil-lie rally with a strikeout and a deep fly ball out to left field.

The Lady Eagles scored in the top of the fourth inning on two singles, a hit batter and an error.

Pleasanton was able to plate a second unearned run in the top of the seventh for insur-ance.

The Billies would be unable to rally in the bottom of the seventh.

In the two-game series,

Pleasanton’s Garcia was able to fan 30 Billie batters and limit them to six hits in two games.

FHS sophomore Gamble was the bright spot for the Billies as she was able to col-lect three of the six hits.

Harper to send nineto state track meet

After running the table on its District 29-1A opponents during the regular season — and picking up the league title with a perfect 8-0 record — the Harper High School Longhorn baseball team will get a rest in the UIL Region IV playoffs, waiting for its area round opponent to be-come known.

HHS will face the win-ner of the Benavides versus Woodsboro bi-district series that’s set for the upcoming weekend. The ’Horns won’t see action until the following weekend (May 10-11).

“Our kids have a lot of heart,” said Harper head coach Scott Lake. “We were 8-0 in district but we were trailing in six of those eight

games and our kids always fought back and found a way to win. They have never giv-en up and just keep fighting!”

Below is a list of player-by-player highlights and super-latives from the just-ended regular season.

•Dalton Sembritzky: Led the pitching staff with a 5-0 win-loss record and a 2.75 earned run average; he also led the team with two home runs.

Anniversary Celebration

Fredericksburg Middle School tennis teams will round out their schedule on Saturday, May 4, by hosting the District Tennis Tournament.

Matches start at 9 a.m. and will be played at the Fredericksburg High School campus and Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park.

In addition to Fredericksburg, other schools participating are Wimberley, Boerne North, Navarro, Ban dera and Canyon Lake.

Tri-DualSaturday, April 27

Fredericksburg Middle School hosted a tridual at the FHS tennis courts on Saturday, April 27, with Johnson City and Brady.

“The whole intent of this dual was to get our players multiple matches on court and prepare for the district tournament on Saturday,” Coach Blaine Hahn said.

FMS started the morning playing Johnson City and had “great success winning 31 of the 38 matches that we put on court.”

“Our kids are really starting to get a grasp of the skills needed to stay in matches late and pull them out,” Hahn said. “I am very happy with the way they are competing in practice every day and that drive is allowing them to get better in every skill needed to get better on the court during their matches.”

Boys doubles: Sergio I. Neri and Sergio D. Neri won both of their matches, 6-0 and 6-0; Ramiro Murga and Kasey Wright won both their matches, 6-3 and 6-0; Mark Lackey and Noah Gildersleeve won, 6-2 and 6-0; Jo Tucker and Shea Slaughter won, 6-2, and Noah Hammers and Logan Larson lost, 6-2, and then fell in a close game, 7-6 (6).

Girls doubles: Mandy Yo-

cham and Carli Cole won, 6-0; Astri Smith and Kassidy Ander-son won both doubles matches, 6-2 and 6-0; Mackensie War-rington and Madisen Jacoby also won both matches, 6-0 and 6-4, and Ariela Kuhlmann and Mi-randa Langehennig won both of their doubles matches, 6-1 and 6-1.

Boys Singles: Sergio I. Neri won, 6-0; Murga won, 6-0; Ser-gio D. Neri won, 6-0; Wright won, 6-1; Lackey lost 7-6 (6) but then won, 6-3; Gildersleeve lost 7-6 (6); Tucker won, 6-4 and 6-2; Slaughter won; 6-4 and 6-0; Hammers lost, 6-2, and won his second match, 6-4, and Larson lost, 6-2.

On Saturday afternoon, FMS continued their strong play against a competitive team from Brady, according to Hahn.

The kids compiled an afternoon record of 2013.

“I thought we played well but did not convert some of the big points in the matches,” Hahn said. “That will need to change at district next week if we want to go far in the brackets.”

He added, “In both sessions, we found a lot of little things that we need to work on this week.”

Boys doubles: Martin Ball and Drew Jemeyson won, 6-4; David Becker and Kaston Hawkins won, 6-1; Baylor Wein-heimer and Broque Constantine lost, 5-7; Sergio Walle and Ser-gio I. Neri won, 6-0, and Joctan Ramirez and Juan Maldonado lost, 6-1, but rebounded to win their second match, 6-2.

Kerrville Team TournamentApril 19-20

The FMS tennis team participated in the Kerrville Team Tennis tournament on Friday and Saturday, April 1920.

Fredericksburg placed seventh in the tournament while having a 12 record as a team.

“We came in with great expectations as a team but lost a very close first round match versus Uvalde,” Hahn said, adding that the Billies couldn’t match the intensity in the second round versus Floresville on Saturday morning.

“We rebounded well on Saturday afternoon to win our third match versus Hunt,” Hahn said.

“The kids continue to show great improvement and have really began to see it in our practice sessions,” Hahn said. “We just now need to start seeing it in our tournament results.”

Coaches’ comments: “For seven and a half innings, this was a great baseball game. In the bottom of the eighth, it looked to me like we got tense making three errors and walking two. We have been playing such great defense, it was just a mat-ter of time before we had a bad night defensively and unfortu-nately, tonight was that game,” Loth said.

Crenwelge, Studebaker advance to state

SO CLOSE — Sammy Studebaker (above center) finishes the 800 meter run just 9/100ths of a second behind first place Andres Galarza from La Feria at right with San Antonio Sam Houston’s Isaac Thornton at left in fourth place. Studebaker’s

time of 2:01.83, which broke his previous season best by two seconds, qualified him to advance to the State 3A Track Meet in Austin May 11 at the University of Texas. — Special to the Standard-Radio Post/George Tuley

Running her best 1600 meter race of the season on Saturday, Fredericksburg High School se-nior Jacquelyn Crenwelge has qualified for the State 3A Track Meet on May 11 in Austin.

Crenwelge turned in a season best time of 5:23.87 (by eight seconds) to finish second in the 1600 meter run and qualify to compete at the state contest at 8:45 p.m. on May 11 on the Uni-versity of Texas campus.

“We are very excited about having Sam Studebaker and Jacquelyn Crenwelge advanc-ing to the state meet on May 11,” said Dan Aldrich, head track coach.

“These two will continue to work the next two weeks on im-proving their times so that we can have the best opportunity to medal at the state meet,” Al-drich said.

Crenwelge also ran in the 3200 meter run on Friday, finishing sixth with a time of 11:59.66.

That was also a season best time for her by 18 seconds.

Crenwelge was one of eight individuals and two relay teams from the FHS varsity girls’ track team to qualify to compete at the Region IV-3A Track Meet on Friday and Saturday at the Texas A&M University at Kingsville Javelina Stadium.

As a team, the girls finished 13th out of 22 schools with a to-tal of 16 points.

The top five schools included Wharton, 76 points; El Campo, 48 points; San Antonio Sam Houston, 45 points; Sealy, 42 points, and Corpus Christi West Oso, 40.

“I am proud of how our kids represented our community and athletic program in Kings-ville,” Aldrich said. “We all had a great time and were excited about the improvement we made from last year.”

He said, “The competition was very tough and our kids did an excellent job of competing and scoring points.”

“Our goal was to get everyone to the finals this year, and we came very close to doing that,” Aldrich said.

In the field events at the re-gional meet, Dancie Single-ton competed in both the long jump and the triple jump.

Singleton was sixth in the tri-ple jump with a leap of 35’5.25” and turned in her season best jump of 17’ to finish eighth in the long jump.

Also in the field events, Lau-ren Smith was sixth in the pole vault at 10’.

Kaitlyn Esensee was 12th in the high jump, clearing the bar at 4’10”. She reinjured her back and was unable to finish the competition.

Running preliminaries were held on Friday and the finals were on Saturday.

Victoria Henke ran the 100-meter hurdles in 16.35 in the prelims and then finished sixth in the finals with a time of 16.41.

In the 100-meter dash, Lind-cy Cisneros turned in a season best time of 13.20 in the prelims on Friday and finished eighth in the finals on Saturday with a time of 13.42.

Madison Sparrow finished eighth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 27.66 after quali-fying on Friday with a season best time of 27.31.

Also competing in the 200-meter dash and finishing ninth in the prelims with a time of 27.51 was Hanna Castillo.

The 4x100 relay team of Cas-tillo, Sparrow, Singleton and Cisneros qualified for the finals with a time of 51.03.

In the finals on Saturday, the team turned in a time of 50.97 to finish seventh.

The 4x200 meter relay team of Castillo, Sparrow, Abby Ott-mers and Cisneros finished fifth with a season best time of 1:47.19. They qualified with a time of 1:47.86.

Along with Crenwelge, other seniors on the team who con-tributed points over the years to the program include Singleton, Sparrow and Esensee.

“All of these athletes have been in multiple events in our pro-gram and filling their spots will be a challenge,” Aldrich said.

Led by a second place fin-ish in the 800 meter run from state qualifier Sam Studebak-er, the Fredericksburg High School varsity boys’ track team finished seventh at the Region IV-3A meet Friday and Satur-day at Texas A&M Kingsville.

Studebaker ran a season best 2:01.83, breaking his previous best time by two seconds, to qualify for the State 3A Track Meet in Austin May 11 at 6:20 p.m. at the University of Texas.

He finished nine-hundredths of a second behind first place Andres Galarza of La Feria.

“I am very proud of how our kids represented our commu-nity and athletic program in Kingsville,” head coach Dan Aldrich said. “The competition was very tough and our kids did an excellent job of compet-ing and scoring points! Our goal was to get everyone to the finals this year and we came very close to doing that.”

Fredericksburg finished sev-enth overall as a team, scor-ing 31 points. Top five team finishers at regionals included Bellville (54), Brookshire Royal (54), Yoakum (54), Sealy (50) and Giddings (48).

Running a season best 43.48 in the finals, the boys’ 4x100 meter relay team of Cody Ste-vens, Matt McMan igle, Clay Enderlin and Kyler Sultemeier finished third after a disquali-fication moved FHS up from fourth place. In the prelims, the relay ran a 43.64.

The 4x200 meter relay of Stevens, McManigle, Ender lin and Sultemeier ran a season best 1:31.73 for fourth place after running a 1:31.82 in the prelims.

Ryan McBee cleared 6’2” in the high jump for fifth place, while Sultemeier leapt a sea-son best 21’2.5” for sixth place in the long jump.

Sammy Garcia ran a 2:07.32 in the 800 meter run for 11th place.

Competing in running pre-lims, but not advancing to the finals were Sultemeier in the 100 meter dash (11.28, 10th); Enderlin in the 200 meter dash (23.83, 12th) and the 4x400 meter relay team of Jonathan Espinoza, Studebaker, Garcia and Bryce Trois (3:38.34, 11th).

Fredericksburg will gradu-ate four seniors from the track program — Enderlin, Garcia, McBee and Sulte meier.

“All of these athletes have been in multiple events in our program and filling their spots will be a challenge,” Aldrich said. “I am confident and very excited that we will be return-ing 17 of the 25 regional partic-ipants for next year’s team who will do their best to continue to improve upon this year’s re-gional performance like we did from last year.”
