Roughnecks get Mustangs again

WEST COLUMBIA — It is back to the scene of the crime as Columbia takes on West Orange Stark.

The Roughnecks (4-6) will face the Mustangs (9-1) for the second year in a row at Ray Maddry Stadium, just like a year ago. Last year’s meeting was a bidistrict matchup opposed to this year’s area round.

“It’s West Orange Stark, all they do is reload,” Columbia coach Randy Lynch said Wednesday afternoon before his team’s practice.

West Orange Stark, ranked No. 13 in the final regular season Associated Press poll, have beaten the Roughnecks in five previous meetings, including last year’s 20-10 victory.

“We’ve had a good week of practice so far and we were happy for the win last week,” Lynch said. “It just seems like the energy level this week is a bit more noticeable.”

Columbia’s second-half performance against Houston Yates allowed them to move on in the playoffs. Lynch is hoping that kind of play continues.

“It really is going to come down to them executing,” he said. “They certainly fought hard and they were able to put together a complete game last week for the first time this year. Yates played well but we took the second half kickoff and the offense fed off from the defensive side of the ball. Like I said, when our team executes and does what it has to do, we can be successful.”

Stark has a sophomore starting quarterback, Dillon Sterling Cole who had quite a game against Huffman-Hargrave. He completed 19-of-25 passes for 384 passing yards, six touchdowns and an interception as the Mustangs accumulated 490 yards of offense.

Cole (88-of-140, 1,526 yards, 15 TDs, two interceptions for the season) took over on the second game of the season and has prospered as the year has gone on.
“Offensively they are more explosive and it will come down to a matter of their speed against us controlling the ball,” Lynch said. “But what a sophomore (Cole). He is very poised and does a lot of the short game stuff. But he can throw it deep.”

Stark’s run game had four main contributors, including Chris James (93 carries, 648 yards, 6.97 per carry, four TDs), Cole (79-345, 4.37, seven TDs), Chase Ruthledge (59-305, 5.17, two TDs) and Dwain Boullard (16-225, 14 yds per carry, four TDs)

Cole’s top receivers were Will Johnson (27-539 yards, 19.96 yards per catch, eight TDs) and Dionte Thompson (27-495, 18.3, three TDs).

“They are a perennial playoff team and they just reload every year,” Lynch said. “Their coaching staff does a great job with them. They are younger this year, especially on defense, where they had eight seniors last year, but they still fly to the ball. They have a safety who committed to Alabama already and he is just a junior.”

He is part of a Mustang defense that has given up 102 points in 10 games this season.

Columbia will counter with a super sophomore of its own in Dakarius Bell (263-1,815 yards, 24 TDs, 6.9 per carry). He will be joined in the backfield by junior quarterback and first-year starter under center, Jarius Kesee (72-of-164, 1,007, nine TDs, seven interceptions).

The weather could be a factor Friday night.

“I’ve seen two different forecasts, and one is saying it might blow through early in the afternoon,” Lynch said. “Otherwise, it will be cold and windy, but that is something that doesn’t concern us much. We’ve practiced in rain before just to get use to those conditions.”

As the season has continued, the Roughnecks have had 10 or more sophomores on the team, including many who are starting and others who are getting some extensive playing time. It seems like they might have grown up just a bit with the big win against Yates last week.

“I think they finally realized that if we win we move on, and if we don’t we will not move on,” Lynch said. “They know about West Orange Stark and know the challenge ahead. They are pretty excited.”

Columbia will be without the services of nose tackle Marcus Farris, who was injured on the first play of last week’s game.

“Our center and middle linebacker were a bit banged up going into last week’s game, but this week they are moving along better,” Lynch said. “We need to eliminate turnovers and just do our jobs. But we will be ready to play.”

The quarterfinal round awaits either La Vega or Jasper.

Columbia bows out of playoffs

By DAVID HENRY sports@thefacts.com | Posted: Saturday, November 23, 2013 2:00 am

CHANNELVIEW — It didn’t snow Friday night in Channelview, but with the way things snowballed in the second half for the Columbia football team, it sure felt like it had.

Columbia went from trailing by just two scores at the half to getting trounced 61-7 at the hands of No. 13 West Orange-Stark on Friday night in a Class 3A Division I playoff game at Channelview High School.

Columbia lost three fumbles and threw two interceptions for five total turnovers — three straight to start the second half.

“The defense played well the first half, but then we gave up that big touchdown pass and had those turnovers and it just kind of snowballed,” Columbia head coach Randy Lynch said. “You cannot turn the ball over like that, I don’t care how good you are or who you are playing. West Orange-Stark played well. That’s a good football program.”

The Roughnecks (4-7) end their season at the same spot as last year and against the same team.

After West Orange-Stark took a 13-0 lead in the second quarter, Columbia answered with a return on the kickoff down to the 4-yard line from LaMarquis Fields.

Quarterback Jarius Kesee punched it in from 2 yards out on a quarterback keeper two plays later to make it 13-7 with 4:14 to play in the half.

West Orange-Stark added to its lead heading into the half with a 17-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dillon Sterling-Cole to Dwain Boullard with 1:33 to play.

The Mustangs (10-1), District 21-3A champions, struck quickly to open the second half on a 79-yard screen pass from Dillon Sterling-Cole to Will Johnson.

Sterling-Cole, a sophomore, finished the game with five touchdown passes and no interceptions.

After Tavin Terrell came up with an interception on defense, the Mustangs added another score, this time a 13-yard run from Sterling-Cole.

Columbia fumbled on its next offensive possession and West Orange-Stark punched it in several plays later on a two-yard rushing touchdown by Elijah Teel, an offensive lineman. By that point the Mustangs had a commanding 40-7 lead.

Sterling-Cole finished the game 15 of 26 passing for 266 yards. Will Johnson was the Mustangs’ leading receiver with five catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns.

Columbia failed to muster anything on offense, finishing the game with just four first downs. West Orange-Stark’s defense held Columbia to 30 carries for 25 yards rushing and just 23 yards passing.

“We thought we had a good game plan, but we just couldn’t move the ball,” Lynch said. “They took our run away and we didn’t execute. That was the bottom line.”

Columbia played without starting nose tackle Marcus Farris, who was injured in last week’s first-round playoff win.

“Most of the time we played the run pretty well, and at times we played the pass well, but then we let (Sterling-Cole) get out and scramble and when he did that hurt us,” said Columbia defensive coordinator Chris Gerbich.

West Orange-Stark advances to the third round to play Jasper.

“We knew coming in we were going to be young and inexperienced,” Lynch said. “We had a rough go of things, but we have a lot of young kids who had playing time and hopefully the future is bright.”
