A "Significant Win" for our Mules!....
ALAMO HEIGHTS 47 and EAST CENTRAL 13
On Friday, September 14th, which was "Senior Recognition" night, our Mules had themselves "one fine ole' night-a-football" against the 5A East Central "Hornets." Our beloved Mules continued to click on nearly all cylinders defensively as they had in the past game. But, perhaps more significantly, our Mules' Offense began to shift into high gear having 400+ yards of total offense during the game!!! WE LOOKED MIGHTY GOOoooooooOOOOOOD ON THIS NIGHT!!!
The win was made even sweeter from the fact that East Central entered the game at 2-0 having trounced their last two opponents with their running game. Our local news paper, the Express News, had picked the Hornets to win their District, and had the Mules as 5-point underdogs entering this game... la-di-da-di-da, what do they know?
Our Coaches have done a FANTASTIC JOB of bringing our boys along. On the Defensive-side, our Coaches shaped them D-Mules into a well oiled "Hornet-killing" machine that SWATTED three exceedingly fine opponent tailbacks (that had been averaging a combined 300+ yards rushing coming into this game) into a pile of "Hornet-mush" that was only able to achieve 158-yards rushing on this night.
On the Offensive-side, well, let me tell ya Mule Fans, we "Uncorked the Offensive Genie" during this game... YA MUN YA MUN YA MUN!!!! Quarterback Drew Allen had completions to five different receivers! RB Sergio Acosta, TE Victor Givens, A-Back Nick Amick, A-Back Bobby Broadnax, WR Cody Courtney and TE Austin Amaro, with both "Nick-the-Quick" Amick and "Tower-of-Power-'O'" Amaro having their first snags of this season. In addition, Messieurs Amick and Courtney had receiving "one-two punches" of one TD for Nick and two TD's for Team Captain Cody.
By powering into the 4th quarter with a 40-7 lead, into this warm night travelled Sophomore QB #11 Cullen Mills to take the reigns of the Offense. Looking "cool as a Veggie Tale" sprinting and passing "cucumber" in taking his first Varsity snaps, Mr. Mills drove those Mules right down the field using the rushing tandem of Senior RB #20 Richard Donnegan and Junior RB #40 A.J. Lewis in a succession of up-the-middle-dives, and capped it off with a "fake hand-off" and QB bootleg around the end for a sweet 25-yard pick-up to the 13-yard line. THEN THEN THEN, Mr. Mills tossed a lovely touch-pass over the arms of two Hornet defenders and into the hands of Senior WR #18 Rust Oliver!!!!! It was a beautiful thing...
Quick laurels go once again to our O-Line... ANOTHER GREAT JOB MEN. Also, to our D-Line that was first to the mark on most downs to stop the Hornets' rushing game up the middle. Also kudos to Mule QBs Drew Allen and Cullen Mills. And finally, a tip-o-the-hat to Team Captain "Circus Catch" Cody Courtney who now has 5-TD catches this season... AWESOME.
For this week's album of photos we have two (2) Albums to look at, as this reporter's cup runneth over with incredible Mary Candee photos (CALL MARY FOR ANY PICS YOU LIKE AT 821-5229).... please see:

VICTORIA MEMORIAL INTELLIGENCE REPORT
Next week we travel to Victoria to play 1-2 Victoria Memorial, the largest 5A school in the State of Texas with over 3800 enrolled at the high school. Victoria's lone win to date came in their first game of the season with a 25-7 win over McAllen Memorial H.S. Note, Victoria's football team DOES know how to win a football game. During the second week of the season Victoria lost to Roosevelt H.S. from San Antonio, and this past week Victoria lost 39-3 to El Campo High School. El Campo is a town just to the east of Houston that is traditionally a fine football school, and appears to have another good team this year. Because El Campo is a good team, the message to me as we go to Victoria is a cautionary tale... we must have another good effort to ENSURE a win. So in my opinion, our Mules should not be "over-confident" going to Victoria, but should rather be "quietly confident" entering this week's game that if they continue to perform well and improve this should another nice multi-touchdown win.

Congratulations to former Mule, Patrick Bailey, who is a starting Defensive End for Duke University (as well as one of the best college DE's in the Nation), as his Blue Devil's won for the first time since September 2005 against Northwestern University, in an away game at Evanston, IL. See:
