Lockhart GBB Crew: Scott Smith, QA – Mitchell Padgett
When it comes to winning District Championships, George Ranch girls cross country is one of the best in the business.
The school, which has been open for just 11 years, just won its 10th district title a few weeks ago, with the past five years coming in Class 6A. For coach Alicia Dutch, getting to this point of consistency took laying the ground work many years ago.
"We made sure they were groomed through the years to be able to compete on this level," Dutch said. "They have had a tremendous trust in themselves and the leadership that has transitioned during the program. Since 5A and 6A girls programs in Texas are still growing in competition with the 5K compared to other states, coaching and learning how to program practices to fit the needs of the runners each year is a challenge that has taken on very well."

"We have the support of our campus and district athletic administration that values how we run our programs at our campuses which keeps athletes coming from various sports. This year alone we had eight soccer athletes that came out to be a part of the cross country program. Mutli and Dual-Sport athletes seem to enjoy using this sport to stay on shape as well." </p><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-9787720712654893" data-ad-slot="8738871937" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>

Dobie's Gerard Joseph

As we get back to the fields of play, let's take a look at what we have to look forward to in Pasadena ISD.

<p>The Pasadena Eagles have struggled this season but one of the lead birds in the nest in big back Michael Lomas. The senior can move piles between the tackles and is fleet of foot when he gets to the second and third levels.</p>Alex Mateo, Pasadena Memorial Football
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDc5NzkxNi9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYxMDI0NjkyM30.I5K03DWgHoGXm8p9zpPIKj_QehGZPYZ1mUqQpFiX2Q4/img.jpg?width=980" id="6c2b0" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="11df4eb10587ad26a93e0fb6728f471b" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>Everyone needs someone to lean on. Well QB Luke Giron's best body guard and OL Alex Mateo. Mateo anchors the OL, which propels the run-oriented offense. Mateo and his crew are trying to push the Mavs into the postseason. </p>Gerard Joseph, Dobie Football
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDc5NzkzMy9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYyMzM4MjYwOH0.fvjpRYyxgFGn6O53XCX-N_2GAItCwcV0FE1Mn1JKUaA/img.jpg?width=980" id="4a6e1" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="1d5358c7690ca4d8f6cf72bcfdbc78d4" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>Ok, we know how good the Dobie offense is, but what about the defense? The Longhorns have a stud in Gerard Joseph -- a 6-foot-4 defensive end who can get after the QB. Joseph has the length and strength to play at the college level and has already picked up an offer from TSU. </p>Kendrick Banks, South Houston Football
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDc5NzkyNy9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY2NTE2OTgzNH0.FPMEupfTxwxZHKCS7KGLEsxF5AcB5-vmiI6MHC7fyDE/img.jpg?width=980" id="91ff1" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="0795892991a2c17e99db743a5d59aca4" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>Running the show at SOHO is Kendrick Banks, who is a talented dual-threat QB. Banks is dangerous when plays break down with his ability to expend plays outside the pocket. The junior still has the Trojans in the mix for a playoff berth. He can play multiple positions. </p>Natalie Onozie, Dobie Volleyball
<img lazy-loadable="true" src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDc5Nzk0My9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYzMzY3MzIyNH0.tcI__bX391ZaZYFtLUm_LQJg_O5v_nTRNm48AkxucdQ/img.jpg?width=980" id="d1182" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="1ee87b281098869f42e75cdd97ebc3fc" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" /><p>Natalie Onozie led the Dobie Longhorns to a second-place finish in District 22-6A this season. Dobie fell in the first round put Onozie returns as the centerpiece next season for the Longhorns. She's a tremendous setter and defensive specialist. </p>

Prior to that win, the playoffs have always ended for Huffman in the second round. A big key to the victory was the play of quarterback Luke Thomas, who finished 9 of 15 for 103 yards and two touchdowns and also had 92 yards and two scores rushing, including one from 51 yards out. Thomas finished with four total touchdowns for the Falcons. What a game by him. Huffman moves on to play Kilgore on Friday. </p>Trevor Baker (@Trevor_Baker10) - Needville
