CUBS DOMINATE STERLING IN ROUTE TO A 42-6 SENIOR NIGHT WIN

The Brenham Cub Football Team dominated the Houston Sterling Raiders 42-6 to go to 2-0 on the season earlier tonight (Friday).

Mason Seeber got things started by blocking a punt by the Raiders, which gave the Cubs the ball. Jakoby Dixon then scored the first of his four touchdowns in the game on a 20-yard run. Bleu Cienega added the extra point to make it 7-0 Brenham with 8:37 left to go in the first quarter.

The Cubs got the ball back, and Jordan Harvey quickly found Dixon on a 40-yard touchdown pass, and another kick by Cienega made it 14-0 with 7:13 left in the first.

In the second quarter, Dixon added two more rushing touchdowns to his total for the night. He scored on a three-yard run with at the 7:30 mark. Brenham recovered a fumble, and then Dixon ran one in from 18 yards out to make it 28-0 just 11 seconds later with 7:19 left in the half.

Sterling RB Jason Hatton would score a touchdown at 3:36 left in the second quarter to cut the lead to 28-6, which would be as close as they would come.

The Cubs started the third quarter with Xyran Upshaw scoring on a 39-yard touchdown run and Cienega added the PAT to make it 35-6 at the 9:04 mark.

Brenham scored one final time on an eight-yard touchdown pass from Harvey to Chris Guidry with 58 seconds in the third quarter. Cienega added the kick to finish off the scoring at 42-6.

Neither team scored in the fourth quarter. With the lopsided score, Coach Danny Youngs was able to work in several of his bench players in order to give them some in-game experience.

Next week, the Cubs will go on the road to take on the Bryan Vikings at Merrill Greene Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30pm (7pm pregame on KWHI 1280AM, 101.7FM, and KWHI.com).
