BRENHAM CUBS SHUT OUT TEXAS CITY 38-0 TO WIN BI-DISTRICT
It was a big night for the Brenham Cub Football Team as they shutout the Texas City Stingarees 38-0 to win the Bi-District Championship in front of a packed house at Cub Stadium.
The Cubs got on the board early with a one-yard touchdown run by Jakoby Dixon. The two-point conversion attempt was no good, but Brenham still lead 6-0 with 7:09 left in the first quarter.
Xyran Upshaw would get the Cubs back into the end zone with a 10-yard touchdown run at the 1:21 mark. Dixon ran in the two-point conversion to give Brenham a 14-0 lead.
Bleu Cienega starting the second quarter scoring by nailing a 37-yard field goal to give the Cubs a 17-0 lead at 7:35.
Brenham would score one more time before the end of the half as Jordan Harvey found Chris Guidry on a 36-yard touchdown pass with just four seconds left. Cienega add the extra point to increase the Cub advantage to 24-0 as they went into the locker room.
In the third quarter, both teams played to a stalemate as neither found a way to put points on the board.
However, in the fourth quarter, Jakoby Dixon scored his second touchdown of the day on a one-yard run, and Cienega added the PAT to give Brenham a 31-0 lead with 11:21 left.
With that touchdown Dixon set a new school record for points scored in a season with 226. Floyd Sommer was the previous record holder with 223.
The Cubs scored one more time at the 10:21 mark on a 43-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Harvey to Cartelle Brown. Cienega kicked the extra point to increase the Brenham advantage to 38-0, which ended up being the final.
According Cub Football stats keeper and historian Michael Groves, this the first time since 91 years that a Brenham time has shut someone out in the playoffs. The previous time was the 1933 team, which beat Galena Park 20-0 that year.
Next week, the Cubs will face Liberty Hill in the Area Round of the Playoffs Friday November 22nd at 7pm at the PField in Pflugerville. KWHI will have live coverage beginning with the pregame at 6:30pm.

I went to the game with some friends and it was great to see the Cubs looking so good. We almost didn’t stay for the game though; we got seated about 45 minutes before kickoff and had to endure ear-splitting horrible music for over half an hour. It was so loud you couldn’t even converse with friends, and the lyrics of the music were definitely not appropriate for a High School event. I’m not sure if I’ll ever go again, and if I do I will have ear plugs AND ear muffs. Who is responsible for the music and volume decisions, anyway?
GO CUBS, Beat Liberty Hill!
