ORANGEFIELD BOBCATS

2019 Record: 9-2 Overall, 7-1 District

District 12-3A-I Runner Up

 

After a rough start in the 3A, Division I ranks in 2018, the Orangefield Bobcats found their footing, rolling to a 9-2 season.  The Bobcat's stay in 3A was a cut a bit short by the UIL's February realignment as the numbers dictated a bump back up to Class 4A, Division II.  However, the outlook is still bright as the Bobcats will enter 11-4A-II play with seven offensive starters and four defenders return to make a push for the playoffs.

 

COACHING

Head Coach: Josh Smalley

Assistant Coaches: John Davis (Defensive Coordinator/Strong Safeties), Chris Pachuca (Offensive Coach/Offensive Line), Todd Trawhon (Defensive Tackles), Randy Brevell (Defensive Ends), Joe Peevey (Linebackers), Dennis Vansa (Cornerbacks), Ryan Pickering (Running Backs), Tim Erickson (Offensive Line), Lee Legate, Richard Droulliard, Ryan Ragsdale, Joseph Hoyt

 

OFFENSE

    • What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "
