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?

    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
