Hippos take the Region III championship; next stop....state semis
Saturday, December 3, 2005
The Hutto Hippos took the Class 3A Region III championship for the first time in school history by defeating the Cameron Yoe Yoeman by a score of 35-14 at the RRISD Athletic Complex. The Hippos trailed at the end of the first quarter, 6-0, but quickly turned the tide in the second quarter. Touchdown runs by Jerrick Gauthier (1 yd) and Jeremy Kerley (1 yd) combined with a touchdown pass from Kerley to Ryan Dominguez (18 yd) gave the Hippos a 21-6 lead at the break.
The Yoeman attempted to come back in the third quarter with a touchdown and two point conversion which cut the score to 21-14; however, a tough Hippo defense coupled with two more TD runs by Gauthier (3 yd) and Kerley (30 yd) preserved the Hippo win and Region III championship. The Hippo defense forced three turnovers and held the Cameron offense to 247 yards.
The Hippos will now play the Cuero Gobblers in the Class 3A Division II state semi-finals. The state semi-final game will be played on Saturday, December 10th, at San Antonio's Farris Stadium (click here for directions to the stadium). Game time is set for 7 PM.
Go Hippos!
