Lions crush Panthers, 31-6

The Anahuac Express hoped to improve their district record to 2-0 after last week’s win over a tough Buna squad. However, the wheels fell off the Panther offense and their undefeated hopes were derailed 31-6 by the Lions Friday night.

The Panthers’ first possession ended in disaster after only 2 plays, when Jacob Pesina’s first passing attempt was intercepted and returned to the Anahuac 13-yard line. Kountze wasted little time in taking advantage of their good fortune, as running back Dante Barnes ran around right end on a 7-yard jaunt to open the scoring. Mark Penik’s PAT gave the Lions a 7-0 margin.

Anahuac could muster only a yard in offense on their ensuing drive, and Kountze immediately resumed their rushing ways, relying exclusively on their ground game to drive deep into the Panther end of the field. Though the Anahuac defense dug in their heels to halt the drive, the Lions increased their lead to 10-0 after Penik blasted a 44-yard field goal with 5:01 left in the first quarter.

The squads traded punts, jockeying for field position before a 14-yard Panther punt gave Kountze the ball at the Anahuac 47. Five plays later, Barnes darted around the left side of the defense for his second touchdown of the half. Penik’s PAT increased the Lions’ lead to 17-0.

The Anahuac offense then roared to life when Pesina connected with Phillip Raymond for an apparent 70-yard score. However, the Panthers’ hopes were quickly dashed when an illegal receiver penalty erased the points. Neither squad scored during the remainder of the half.

Both offenses sputtered during the third stanza. The Anahuac offense, which compiled only 82 yards in total offense during the contest, simply could not come untracked. “We did not play fundamental footballâ€, stated head coach Rob Davis, “They whipped us at the line of scrimmage. We had a tough time running the football, and they played a really solid run defense. We had a good week of practice, and they gave us no surprises.â€

Kountze struck first in the second half, driving 66 yards in 11 plays to take a 24-0 lead on a 24-yard run by Thomas Wolcott. The PAT was good.

Anahuac then quickly responded, traveling 62 yards to break their scoreless drought courtesy of a 35-yard strike from Pesina to Tristan Lewis, who broke through the Lion secondary down the middle of the field to cut the margin to 24-6. The 2-point conversion failed.

However, Kountze immediately slammed the door on the Panthers, returning the ensuing kickoff to the Anahuac 38. Five plays later, Neal Batman unmasked the Panther secondary as he connected with wide receiver J. J. Turner for a 7-yard scoring toss. The PAT gave the Lions their final point of the contest.

“We had a tough time overcoming adversity tonight†stated Davis, “We gave them a lot of momentum at the beginning of the game and never got it back. We’re just going to have to evaluate where we are, and do what we can this week to get better.â€

Anahuac (2-4, 1-1) faces Hardin in a 7:30 contest next Friday at Kyle White Field.

EC's QB is something, if he dont out run you he will make you miss and DV will come at you straight on they are big and fast also and if DV 's QB would have hit his man it would have been a closer game he over threw his wide open rec. a few times

I went to the Buna Anahuac game. What happend to #23. He went off on Buna (171yds and 3 td's) and does anyone know his name? I heard he was a soph. A friend of mine said he went to the Kountze game and did not remember seeing a #23. I told him he must not have been their because if he would have seen him, he would remember. Anyone have any details on this kid?

    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is a tragic day for America. The guilty verdict issued hours ago against former President Donald Trump is a clear abuse of our justice system. This politically motivated and stacked trial is what we have come to expect in communist China or North Korea—not in the United States of America.   The totalitarian impulse of the neo-Marxist Left is to suppress and silence political opposition using any means necessary.    But here’s what we must understand: What just happened is not only about Donald Trump, and it will not stop with him.   The Left is not only waging legal warfare against Donald Trump. They are attempting to prevent half the country from having any say in the governance of our nation, and they have weaponized the legal system to ensure their success at any cost.    They are already using our legal system to go after pro-life activists and patriotic Christians who defend religious liberty. The Deep State is spying on conservative parents and churches, treating them like enemies of the state. They have even gone so far as to compare caring parents to terrorists.    The Left has repeatedly contested that conservatives are a threat to our democracy. Yet, they are the ones who are aggressively attacking our Constitutional Republic with blatant disregard for our fundamental rights. We cannot remain silent against such explicit tyranny.   Today's verdict is a clarion call for every God-fearing, America-loving Christian and our fellow citizens who believe in faith, family, and freedom to run, walk, or crawl, if necessary, to the polls this November.
