Post JV 20, Slaton JV 12 (9/13/12)

The Antelope JV (3-0) defeated Slaton 20-2 Thursday night at Jimmy Redman Stadium.  After a scoreless first quarter, the Lopes put 20 points on the board in the second. 

The Lopes took possession on their own 35 and on runs by quarterback Blaine Reece and running back Cambry Gilbert crossed into Tiger territory.  On the final play of the drive, Gilbert took the pitch and out ran past the Tiger defense to give Post a 6-0 lead with 9:45 to play in the first half. The PAT failed.

Post would score two more times before half.  Gilbert once again got outside of the Tiger defense and scored from the 39.  Again, the PAT was unsuccessful. 

The last score of the quarter was when Reece took a QB sneak in from 5 yards out behind the blocking of Raphael Gonzales, Blake Boren and Edel Sanchez.  Christian Saucedo's diving catch on the PAT gave Post a 20-6 lead at the half.

During the 2nd half Post moved the ball up and down the field but was unable to score any points.

The defense had several stops in the fourth quarter including a goal line stand denying the Tigers a chance to put points on the board.  Outside linebacker Blaine Osborn tackled the Tiger QB on fourth and goal.  Also in on the stand was Gonzales, Boren , Kaleb Crenshaw and David Hernandez.

The Lopes will be in action next Thursday Sept. 20 at Tahoka at 6:00.

The Post Antelope 8th grade team defeated Slaton 32-0.  Quarterback A.J. Escobedo led the way on offense with the first two touchdowns of the game on a 50 yard run and a 20 yard run to give Post a 12-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, running back A.J. Reed scored the first of his two touchdowns on the night with a 20 yard run.  After a two point conversion by T.J. Redman, the Antelopes went into halftime with a 20-0 lead. 

After an interception by Bryce Phelps, Augie Menchaca had several good runs before scoring on a five yard run to put Post up 26-0.  A.J. Reed closed the scoring with a 15 yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

On offense the line did a great job of opening holes up for the running backs. Offensive linemen include Colton Smith, Russ Morris, Blaze Smith, Ben Ayala, Dylan Morris, Caiden Dugger, and Stetson Boles. Tight end Adrian Rogers and receivers Kevin Finch and Kade Smith also did a good job of blocking .

Defensively the Antelopes limited Slaton’s offense both on the ground and through the air.
