I saw this coming from day 1....which is why I went to exactly 1-1/2 games this season.

I talked to a guy at the store earlier who said the coin toss for the 2 remaining spots will happen at 11:00 in Andrews.

CONGRATS MONAHANS!!!!!

I sure hope Greenwood wins a spot.... Your Rangers team and fan are great people... While teams were warming up before the game Titus was standing at the 50 talking to the injured Greenwood Qb and everyone one of the Rangers players and coaches walked by him and shook his hand... GOOD LUCK RANGERS

Looks like Monahans plays Clint next Friday in Monahans

[M-town lobo fan]

Yeah great sportsmanship on both sides.Goodluck to Greenwood in the post season

just found out that Seminole and Andrews won the toss, so that puts greenwood as the odd man out. Sad to hear because from watching all 3 i thought greenwood was the best even though they lost to andrews head to head. Congrats on a good season greenwood success will be here soon again for the rangers.

oh and by the way the loboes had around 470 total yards and i think about 22 first downs and greenwood had 24 total yards and 1 first down. Pretty dominating!

IMO, Monahans is the only 3-3A team that has a chance to get past the 2nd round.

Thank you, that's nice to hear!!

I hate to miss the playoffs after a 10 year streak....but figured these next couple of years may be lean.

Bless their hearts, but this group of boys have never had much success....I don't know if we will ever be back to the success of the 2002 team, but we have some talent coming up in the next couple of years.

Football: Monahans crushes Greenwood to clinch outright district title
Comments 0 | Recommend 0
Owens picks up 100th win
November 07, 2009 12:41 AM
BY GEOFF FOLSOM
MONAHANS With temperatures in the 60s, the “Klingon” proverb that revenge is a dish best served cold wasn’t really applicable.

But in its 42-0 rout Friday night at Estes Memorial Stadium, Monahans (10-0, 5-0 District 3-3A) made last season’s regular-season ending loss to Greenwood seem like a generation ago.

Along with a payback for last seasons 21-14 overtime loss at Greenwood, a perfect regular season and a guaranteed top five finish in the Associated Press final regular season poll, the victory also brought Monahans coach Mickey Owens his 100th career victory. But Owens said only one thing mattered to him.

“The district championship,” Owens said moments after injured quarterback Quincy Titus lifted the championship trophy while wearing a neck brace. “More than the 100th win, more than the 10-0. I wouldn’t care if we were 7-3, the district championship was everything.”

With the loss, Greenwood fell into a three-way tie with Seminole and Andrews for second place in the district. The Rangers lost out at a coin flip in Andrews, as Seminole won the first flip to finish second and Andrews won the next flip to eliminate the Rangers.

In this game, defense was everything. Monahans had 29 first downs to one for Greenwood (6-4, 3-2). The Loboes outgained the Rangers 474 yards to 26.

“We didn’t want to share the district title at all,” said Monahans quarterback Wade Roark, who started for Titus the last three games of the season. “We just wanted to have it for ourselves. We just came out and executed.”

Roark completed 9 of 16 passes for 190 yards and three touchdown passes. On defense, he got one of three interceptions against Greenwood quarterback Kaden Hatley.

Hatley completed 1 of 15 passes on the game for -6 yards.

Meanwhile, the Monahans rushing game compiled 284 yards, which is slightly below its average for the season. Sophomore Byron Scharf led the way with 116 yards on 12 carries. He had four touchdowns in the game, all coming in the first half, when the Loboes took a 35-0 lead to the locker room. He said the key to his improvement has been getting used to the different speed on varsity.

Owens said he didn’t look at the game as revenge for the 2008 loss that sent Monahans to a three-way tie for the district title with Greenwood and Seminole, just “a little redemption.”

Now, Monahans turns its focus to the postseason and a bi-district meeting against a Pecos team the Loboes beat 57-7 earlier this season. The Loboes face the rival Eagles at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Ratliff Stadium.

“You’ve got to play great defense,” Owens said of the playoffs. “Your kicking game has to be big. The good ones change gears. Starting next week, you’ve got to change gears.”

Tight end and linebacker Ricky Robledo, who led Monahans with three catches for 110 yards, including a 60-yard second quarter touchdown, said the team is up to the challenge.

“It’s gonna take a lot of hard practice, hard work, keep up the good defense and good offense,” he said. “I think we’ll be fine.”

Greenwood coach Steve Taylor’s team had a more uncertain fate. Once again the Rangers were in a three-way tie, but this time it was for second place with Seminole and Andrews. He was going to have to attend a coin flip at an undisclosed location later Friday night in order to find out whether his team would get one of three available postseason spots in the district.

But the fifth-year Greenwood coach said one thing was certain — this was a dominant Monahans team.

“This is the best team I’ve played since I’ve been at Greenwood,” he said. “We got to the quarterfinals and played Graham and Vernon. Monahans would beat them by three touchdowns at least.”
