[g$$]

Sounds like WC played hard & hung in there, as expected. They will get better every week. They may make some noise come district...

[Bull's-eye]

Bellville was missing their starting middle LB and had only 2 starters playing from last year's team. Bellville started kind of slow and kept Columbia in the game during the first half. The offense really couldn't get in any kind of rythym and left some points off the scoreboard. In the 2nd half, Bellville's defense came out and dominated Columbia's offense. Columbia's only second half score came against back-ups. Bellville did actually score 22 points in the 4th qtr, but they were sitting inside the one when the 3rd qtr ended. Close game at halftime, but Bellville left no doubt they were the better team. The offense started controlling the line of scrimmage and #32 Nunn started running over anybody that got in his way. The defense had pretty much shut down the Columbia's offense, so Columbia's chance of making a comeback were slim to none. A lot of the Bellville fans thought the coach pulled his defensive starters too early or the game would of ended 41-13.

Wanted to pour it on & avenge that playoff loss last year? Bellville was the clear favorite & deservedly won it sounds like. Nunn must be a player. Hope y'all had a safe trip.

[Bull's-eye]

Here are the stats from the game. Bellville had 415 total yards to Columbia's 231. Bellville rushed for 272 yds, led by Nunn who had 128 yds on 21 attempts. Columbia managed only 103 yds rushing on 32 attempts. Most of the Roughnecks yards came in the first half and on a late scoring drive against the 2nd team defense. Good game by Dexter Lewis who accounted for half of Columbia's offense.

[Brahma84]

It took Bellville's defense a little while to get it together tonight. Starting MLB Padgett injured his foot in practice so the defense had to be shifted around. Hackemack went from outside to middle. G.Jackson and J.Jackson, both sophmores, played OLB. Hardy was also moved to DE. Defense looked much better as the game went on. The offense also took a while to get going. As the game went on Nunn just seemed to get better. Nunn, along with Medina, Runnels, and Houston sharing time in the backfield have looked solid. Passing game looked better. Still a few too many dropped passes. Overall, good night for a young Brahma team.

Not sure why Bellville would be the clear favorite? They now only have 2 players that started last season. They lost their starting FB, RB, WR, FL, P, K, DE, FS, and SS at the start of the 2007 season. They just lost MLB Pagett who was the leader of their defense.

[Brahma84]

Bellville's six touchdowns were made by six different players. Mayfield 9yd run, Runnels 58yd pass, A.T. Nunn 58yd pass, Garrett Nunn 1yd run, Houston 50yd run, and Mueller 11yd pass. Thats spreading it around.

WC is young, rebuilding, & has a new head coach (promoted from within). Bellville was the favorite in this one & showed it.

Bellville may even be younger. There were only 8 SR's playing tonight. They are also relying on 9-10 sohomores playing key roles. How many starters are returning for WC? Did you see what Bellville lost at the beginning of this season? Who made Bellville the favorite??

Also, Mr. P.A. announced that the WC field was ready to play on. What's going on??

IMO, the most impressive was the 50 yd run by Houston. He broke several tackles on that inside reverse. Bellville ran that play several times for good yardage. Another big run by Houston was called back for a flag.

I have no doubt Bellville is young. But, everyone I know with knowledge of both teams & all the polls/websites/etc. did list Bellville as the favorite. It means nothing anyway, Bellville won on the field, as I & many others expected. I don't live in WC so I can't tell you the entire line-up. I do know they lost quite a bit, including Flannel (Texas Tech) & the twins & their best OL among others.

From what I understand, WC's field may be ready for next week. Not a done deal yet but probable. That's what I have read & been told. Guess we'll see next week. They have been working very hard to get it finished & it looks great.

P.S. Good luck to y'all the rest of the way. Have the makings of a fine team with room to grow.

[IHStangFan]

g$$...when are you gonna come over and watch Needville? :D

[necks_c/09]

okay maybe bellvilles D was pretty good but dont give me that crap that yall dominated us.....

our defense was on the field the whole second half trying to tackle nunn and on back to back drives WE fumbled on the first play..... BELLVILLES D DID NOT CAUSE THOSE FUMBLES....

they were fumbles in the exchange from raley to RB.....

so it went down like this

our defense gets a stop and peredo makes a good punt return to about the 50

first play, WE fumbled
bellville drives again, this time scoring
we get the ball and once again we fumble, not because the defense mind you
so were back on D again and thats when that 50 yd. td rub by hackemack happened....

then bellville would add a field goal somewhere after that



thats how they scored their 22 pts. in the 4th...

not becuz their D was dominant....


oh and you want to talk about key injuries....

how bout the fact that grice doesnt even play for us ne more,
or maybe that holmes wasnt playing, or if thats nbot good enough maybe you didnt catch the fact the Darius Lewis) wasnt playing either


All 3 of them being returning starters from last years squad.....

so we had a lil shifting to do ourselves.....


and by no means were we outcoached all though some dude near me was screaming about how crappy our coaching was.....(idiot)

all the bellville coaches did was give the ball to nunn over and over again becuz we just simply had trouble tackling the dude, ( he did have pretty good foot work though)


so thats my take on this matter

so thats my take on this matter dude, I don't mean to tell a man his business, but....excuses are like...well you know. I mean come on "all they did was give Nunn the ball" yeah..for obvious reasons...apparently WC couldn't stop him. Kinda reminds me of watching the One Man Show called Jared Flannel last year, and I didn't hear any Roughneck fans complaining about that style of play back then. You play to your strengths and your opponents weaknesses..thats smart coaching. Man up, take the loss like a man, and come out firing next week. Good luck WC!

Good luck WC! look i dont mean to make excuses and i will give the bellville O a lot of credit....

the coaching comment was directed at the dude in the stands who was yelling about our coaching,

and i was listing our injuries and key losses just so that bellville people could be reminded that they werent the only ones missing key players......

[necks_c/09]

i just didnt want to hear that junk about how their D dominated our O.... thats a load of crap......

[rancher]

Long trip down to Freeport. This is my second week to eat crow as I earlier predicted that Bellville would go 0-3 at the start. What impresses me is the coaching job being done by Huey. Bellville plays a very discipline style of ball. They make few mistakes. Nunn is starting to remind me of the Tyler Rose (Earl) when he was playing at John Tyler. I just wish he could learn to stiff arm like Earl. How long is the middle lineback going to be out? Got a littler nervous in the first half, but like Sealy, the second half belonged to Bellville. This is my second slice of humble pie now. Hopefully I will have my third next week in the Pasture of Pain. Also, I must tip my hat to Huey for getting all the players involved this is what makes a good program.

Also, Mr. P.A. announced that the WC field was ready to play on. What's going on?? 5 returning on D, peredo, grantom, podojil, holmes, grice

Darius lewis, steve, peredo, on O

really that about it

only thing is, peredo plays the whole game, hes a intrical part of our team, last year he didnt have as a big of effect on the team, and holmes didnt play (injury)

D lew didnt play and grice moved....

so.... we actually had 3 returners on D and 2 on O and its not like steven matthews has a huge effect on the game, i mean he is a good wide receiver, but he doesnt have as big of an effect as say a qb would or somebody like peredo who plays every snap in the game......

[BrahmaDAD70]

I was impressed with Columbia's quickness. Gave Bellville's O Line fits the first half. WC will be much better as the season goes on. As far as Belllville's offense there was good and bad. Finally the passing game looked much improved and G Nunn,Runnels
& Houston are really moving the ball well. The O line still needs
to be more consistant and finish blocks. Columbia played a much better game than I expected then in the second half they just plain ran out of gas. The Bellville D once again continued its
on the job training of the youngins. Very nice.. but spent a huge
amount of time in the first half on the field... halftime break really
was much needed. Good Job Columbia you made the extra drive well worth it. BTW after the game my daughter and I were walking to our vehicle and we were approached by some Columbia fans who had Noisy stiks and little footballs.
They gave my little girl gifts for the ride home.
Very Classy


PS
Hopper Field in Freeport ..... Nice Crib
Thanks to the Freeport PO-PO for escorting the fans accross
busy 288 to enter the stadium.

i knew we would play pretty well, but with some mistakes......
i am glad u came and was impressed by how many bellville fans made the trip.....


the only thing i was not impressed with was when bellville ran out there and was in shogun form. with 5 WR in the 4th qt. with a 3 score lead, and the fact that they were hurrying to the line, as if trying to run up the score.....

although i did see some backups in the game a lil later

[KL3]

necks09, you need to realize that when you get outgained by almost 200 yards and get held to a little over 3 yards/carry rushing, you are getting handled pretty well.

And I keep hearing about Columbia's youth and inexperience. Well they returned 5 starters while Bellville only returned 2. 3 sophomores scored for Bellville last night, including 2 TD's that went for 50+ yards. Their big RB Nunn, is only a jr. They also have atleast 5 sophmores starting, along with 5 other sophs on the varsity. Arguably their best sophomore, Browning is not playing right now.

It's becoming pretty clear that if Bellville wouldn't have lost those 4 senior starters at the start of the season, this team would be very, very good, even better than they are now. Can you imagine if they still had Abbs and Chaney (the 2 starters last year) in the backfield along with Nunn, Runnels, Houston, Medina, and Houston? That is a deep and talented backfield that not many teams can match.

The rest of this season will be fun to watch, but things look very good for the future of Bellville football when this junior class gets paired with the sophomore and freshman group.

our problem is that we dont have a great soph class like yall.... we only have a couple soph. who can play legit ball now....



and you need to realize that i gave yalls O a lot of credit and its hard for us to score, and "put up up great stats like bellville" when our D is on the field most of the entire 2nd half....

dont u think we would have had a lil more in the offense category had we not fumbled twice in 2 plays and whatnot.....

use ur head

[necks_c/09]

and yea, we returned 5 starters from last year, only thing is... only 3 of em were playing, Holmes, argueably the best defensive player we have in the box didnt play

Hmm
Gray.
And i can't think of anyone else.


The JV and Freshman teams are losing like 40-0 every game. The junior class is very good, but I don't know if they'll be able to do good next year with all the dead weight of '010 they'll have to carry. This could be the last year we have a chance for a while. Next year will be the last year regardless. Hopefully there's something good in the junior high. Like Flannel's brother.

i think based on yesterdays performance, that dexter should get 75-80% of the carries...

enough to salvage him for defense too.....

best vision and skills/ potential out of anybody on our team at the RB position....


on a good note, the special teams played MUCH better than aginst b'port....
i was very impressed with the improvements there

i think that it's a good thing that Grice quit.

80% is high. Holmes is a good back. BTW, why didn't he play?

and holmes is injured, lets asy 60-40 then.... cuz they both need to play defense too....

and some dude said holmes had a high ankle sprain but i dont know if thats true or not... ill ask one of the coaches or players or holmes himself.....

Dexter's going to be much better than Grice. We wouldn't have discovered that if Grice hadn't quit.

What are you trying to say Columbia was as good as Bellville? Bellville got started slow, but showed who was the better team in the 2nd half. Columbia scored their last td on the Bellville 2nd teamers. Not lopsided?

We knew the field was ready, as the pa person said, Columbia your field is ready, during the game. If it were ready why was this game not played their? Funny I talked to some WC fans and they said they wanted to open up the new turf with a win, thats why we played this game in Freeport. Good luck next week on your 1st win on the new turf.

and as far as not lopsided, what would the score have been had WC not had 4 unforced turnovers in the 4th qt........ thats what made the score look like it was....

you try having 4 tos in 1 qt and ur defense being on the field all except like 5 min is the sec half and see how ur defense performs then..... its not gonna be pretty if thats what ur thinkin.....

[carter08]

We did better than we did last year in the regular season game against Bellville.

I heard the same thing from the P.A. , if the field was ready, why did Bellville have to travel to Freeport? The announcement came early 2nd half, and I believe might of been a little motivation for the Brahmas. They basically dominated from that point on. I heard the band bus made the trip in 2-1/2 hours.

( somehow this sounds familiar)

can u give me the total yards thru 3 qts..... i bet its not that bad..........

ill even go so far as to say we may have even had more yards in the first half than bellville, and if not it was becuz of that 58 yd. td pass


i dont know if any of this makes sense to u, but its pretty obvious to me

St pius WAY better than Bellville? give me a break, 4 unforced turnovers? Im sure Bellville had nothing to do with you guy just losing the ball, what about the intercepions? Do you rate that as a unforced turnover? Good luck on your 1st win on the new turf!

St. Pius won state last year.

So yea, I say they are better than Bellville.

and yes gray pretty much threw the ball right to the defense twice.....( just not very good throws or reads) and those fumbles were just between the qb and RB exchange....( those things are just gonna happen when you have a soph qb)

we werent even hit by any defenders.....

so thats what i would call unforced tos..... and why so bitter about the drive..... yall played in a nice stadium, won the game, what else can u think of to whine about?

were they 5 yrs old? I definitely don't have a dog in this fight but, give it a rest 09, football is about turnovers forced or unforced. If they happen and you can't overcome them you lose, it happens to everyone and stats after the 3rd quarter mean nothing. Football is a 4 quarter game.

[Bull's-eye]

I hate to say this, but there are a bunch of sore losers from Columbia. They keep saying they are younger than Bellville and they were predicted to lose, but Bellville had only 2 returning starting players from last season. I still haven't found any expert predictions, other than the ones posted on this site. :D

Fumbles are a part of the game, but some of those were due to the Bellville defense. I remember one play where the Bellville player met the RB in the backfield. Bellville fumbled late in the 2nd qtr, but their defense held Columbia from scoring. This was deep in their own territory, not 50 yds away. It's up to the defense to keep those turnovers from hurting your team.

we were considered the underdog, becuz, you may be younger but yall have much more talent in the soph class and the fact that yall won last year and we lost flannel


and one fumble is different than 4 straight drives with turnovers, where your defense got no rest

all the bellville coaches did was give the ball to nunn over and over again becuz we just simply had trouble tackling the dude, ( he did have pretty good foot work though)

They did in the 2nd half, most of Columbia's yards came in the first half. They also had a late 4th qtr drive against the 2nd team defense.

Nunn rushed 21 times for 128 yds out of the 415 total yards. Bellville had 6 different players scoring TD's, so I wouldn't say it was just giving the ball to Nunn.

St. Pius did win state in Tapps I, but Kubiak is not their starting QB. They are led by Bily Noonan, he will be starting his 4th year at QB. They do own 2 close victories over Bay City and Vidor. Much like all the Tapps schools, they can recruit. Hard to compare with the regular schools, but I would think they would be a good 3A team.

Hard to compare, but IMO Bellville/St. Pius would be a close game. Losing the first game on the new field to a defending Tapps state champions would be easier to swallow than losing to Bellville. Plus, St. Pius fans don't post on 3A Downlow. :D

Maybe the WC fan was just joking, he did have a funny grin on his face. All kidding aside, Hopper field was a very nice stadium and they did have some very good hamburgers. Good luck vs St. Pius, and enjoy the new stadium.

PS. IMO, St Pius wouldn't be good enough to win the 3A title.

Can you imagine if they still had Abbs and Chaney (the 2 starters last year) in the backfield along with Nunn, Runnels, Houston, Medina, and Houston? That is a deep and talented backfield that not many teams can match.

The rest of this season will be fun to watch, but things look very good for the future of Bellville football when this junior class gets paired with the sophomore and freshman group.

I was thinking the same thing, but on the bright side, these younger players are getting more playing time. Maybe they could get Ledbetter to return for just his kicking. Special teams needs some improvement.

WC averaged about 3 yds per attempt in the whole game, with most of that coming in the first half. They weren't moving the ball in the 2nd half and Bellville's defense was putting WC's offense in long 2nd & 3rd down situations. The QB was getting pressure as he threw those INT's and I remember Bellville's #8 making a diving catch. Also, I believe #60 for Bellville was in the backfield and caused one of those fumbles. Those TO's hurt, but WC wasn't moving the ball, nor stopping the Bellville's offense. Even though the score was 19-14 at the end of the 3rd qtr, Bellville had taken control of the game.

kid did not make a diving catch...it was a poor throw with no heat on it and the kid went down on his knees and caught it.... thats about it.....

and we fumbled the HANDOFF..... # 60 was just there to fall on it......

we never moved the bell well on the ground the whole game, ur right, but we were still passing well until those 4 qt pics....

raley made some nice throws and some bad ones too

and the point was.... ur defense can only bail out ur offense for so long....

theyre gonna get tired and eventually beat if theyre on the field the whole game

Congratulations to the Brahmas, who have surprised SOME with their play. It isn't the size of your team, or the size of your players, but the size of your HEART! The Brahmas have played under some difficult circumstances before and come out on top. Tradition, team, town--it adds up in the end. I am proud of the Brahmas, always, win or lose. We hold our head up and take responsibility for our performance. Yes, it would be great if we had more players, but I respect the decisions of those who left for their futures. I wasn't at the game, but doesn't the score sum it up? Love ya, Bulls!

Go back and search Bellville/Columbia and look at those posts from 11-17-2006. You will see congratulations from BrahmaMom, Bull19, myself and several other Bellville posters. What I want to know, where is Scrub C, Pancho, Uncle Buck and those WC posters that were "stirring the pot"?

We knew the field was ready, as the pa person said, Columbia your field is ready, during the game. If it were ready why was this game not played their? Funny I talked to some WC fans and they said they wanted to open up the new turf with a win, thats why we played this game in Freeport. Good luck next week on your 1st win on the new turf.

You knew nothing! The field wasn't released from the contractor until about 4:00 PM Friday and clean up was still on going when we left for B'port. Those who don't know what they are talking about should just remain quiet!

[mac77]

09, give it a rest already! We shot ourselves in the foot all night with penalties and turnovers. Not to mention not being able to tackle worth a crap. The sign of a good, disciplined team is taking advantage of those mistakes, which is exactly what Bellville did. I seem to remember the same thing happening last year in the regular season game.

To Huey and all the Bellville staff and players, Good Job! Maybe the first round will provide us a rematch.

I didn't have a problem with the game being in Freeport, but the P.A guy should of said the field was just finished late this afternoon and WC regrets this game not being played there due to some final cleanup still going on. He just announced the field was ready, which left fans wondering why we didn't play on the new field.

The PA guy was a B'Port employee not Columbia. He didn't know any more than anyone else other than the field was finished. Installing turf is a lot more complicated than most of us knew or know. Watching it happen over the last several months, it is a serious construction project.

[BrahmaMom]

Congrats to Columbia on their new field. It's very exciting for them, and I am happy for them. I regret sounding like a pot-stirrer--not my intention at all. neck_c, perhaps a little maturity and taking that chip off your shoulder might enable you to see more clearly--the final score usually tells the story, and sometimes the clock runs out. Best of luck in the rest of the season and enjoy that new field, Columbia!

If you want I will tell you how stand for next weeks game according the the Harris Ratings... And yes, I would say they are pretty much "expert predictions" since most every head coach I know in the state has a subscription. But I guess you and your cronies will have some smart remark about that as well. Congrats on the win and good luck the rest of the way, maybe we can get lucky and see you again in the first round...

and I say we flip home and home

Not to be funny, but didn't even know they were still around. I'm sure most of our posters don't have access to that information or at least their ratings aren't mentioned on this site. Bellville took major blows at the start of this football season and most Bellville fans expected this team not having a good year. Texas High School Football.com even ranked them 5th in D23-3A, just ahead of Smithville. We were all pleasantly surprised by what we saw in their 2 scrimmages and the first game against Sealy. Most experts agree Sealy is rebuilding, so that game didn't tell us a whole lot. To be honest, I still don't know if this team can even make the playoffs. From the WC posters, I know your team is also very young and took a major hit from graduation. I don't see how the experts could make Bellville a 23 point favorite with all they have lost, but hats off to you for finding that information. Good luck the rest of the season and remember those young players will only get better.

i didnt mean to offend anybody, butsomebody acted as if nondistrict means everything.....

all it is, is a pre DISTRICT (or a warm up)

[KL3]

I know everybody liked the running style of Abbs and just how physical he was, but he was not a true RB and wasn't close to as good as Cooper was at the position. Abbs ran straight up and straight forward and although he was very strong, he fumbled the ball a lot.

Cooper had more patience, more moves, and didn't fumble. Their straight line speed was probably pretty close. I think Nunn and and Runnels are more natural, better RB's than Abbs, but I would love seeing Abbs out there at DE or LB.

[BrahmaMom]

Excellent analysis, KL3. The straight up the middle play still reminds me of many years ago, when I called it (and still do) "the Jess Koy play". I worried the whole season some unethical coach would take him out of the game with a season-ending injury. I, too, prefer the agility of an RB. But I know Coach C loves to watch a big fullback "go up the middle with six players hanging on"--Always thought #11 coulda been a great fullback running around end!

[BrahmaDAD70]

I think the move by Abbs is a blessing in disguise.
G Nunn has been playing football since he was 7 years old
while I was an assistant coach for the pee wee league
he has always been a gamer. The move by Abbs will give
more playing time for Nunn and the other soph bulls. Nunn
is a quiet player he does the talking with his skills. Im very proud
of this team its like watching all my boys grow up and become men.

neck 09. you need to shut your mouth.....you have no idea how bad you are imbarrising yourself.
sandman's two interseptions in the first half were legit, plain and simple. bellville's d stepped up to the plate and delievered plain and simple. very fast to the ball.

bellville's running game is something to be reckoned with. they can either run the ball right up the middle down your throat with nunn or they can beat you with the speed from houston, runnels, etc. the only thing that im afraid of is when bellville finally plays a defense that can slow the running game down, im not sure if our passing game will be up to par??? only time will tell.


im going to swallow my crow for g$$ and admit that i actually stopped by and saw columbia's new turf.....turf was nice but facilities were well well below par. if i lived in columbia i would be very upset to see my money go toward turf when it is needed desperatly in other parts of the campus. first off maybe a lawn mower and weed eater. then the tennis courts, parking at field, maybe improve the gym, and etc.

i also want to congratulate the brahma coaching staff...huey and the gang are doing a great job with basically a j.v. team thats playing varsity teams........he and the coaching staff have already surpassed my expectations of this team after knowing off all the key players that quit, moved, hurt, etc......great job brahma coaches

a j.v. team as in there are alot of young players---im referring to j.v. because we are a very young team---- who are playing key roles.....by no means am i saying that they r j.v. team talent..

a couple of the running backs would be playing j.v. ball most likely this year if chaney and abbs where still here. and as a football program numbers are way down from years before which is the reason why alot more younger kids are seeing action


only chaney helping this team??? you must be kidding....ledbetter was the #1 reciever last year and kicker.. trahen was also a big time reciever and quaterback...both with VERY good attitudes. chaney was also punter last year

if u would have actually seen our special teams and recieving corps you would understand

[BrahmaMom]

I think zebra has seen most Brahma games in the past. I think this team, and the coaching staff, had to make some sudden adjustments and they have done so admirably. Best of luck to those who chose not to play this season, moved, whatever. A solid team does what it has to do, and this team has. Go Bulls!
