CUBS GEARED UP TO FACE THE WILDCATS

The Brenham Cubs’ journey continues Friday night as they battle Corpus Christi Calallen in the Region Semifinals, Friday night in San Antonio.

The Cubs (8-4) are coming off a 42-35 overtime win, last Friday, over Sharyland to advance to the third round of the playoffs against the Wildcats (11-1), who outscored Alamo Heights, 63-35.

Cubs’ head coach Eliot Allen says the Cubs must be very physical on defense if they hope to stop the Wildcats’ offense, which features a trio of thousand-yard rushers…

The Cubs offense has been more balanced this season, rushing for 1780 yards and passing for 1926 yards.  In the post-season, the Cubs have run for 277 yards in their two wins, while throwing for 467 yards.

Calallen also boasts the winningest coach in Texas High School football history, Phil Danaher (457-109).  Coach Allen says everything must click to get past the Wildcats…

Kickoff at Comalander Stadium in north San Antonio is set for 7:30 p.m., with the broadcast to begin at 7:00 on AM-1280 KWHI, FM 101.7 and www.kwhi.com.

The winner advances to face the winner between Calhoun and Kerrville Tivy, who play Saturday at 3:00 in San Marcos.
