Reicher stuffs Mildred, 34-3

The difference: Just like last year in a 28-0 Waco Reicher win, the line of scrimmage. Tackle Lance Tepe (280 pounds) led a menacing Cougars defense that held Mildred to 16 total yards, and an offense that had nine rushing plays of 10 or more yards.

Standouts: Reicher QB Matt Hicks threw for 72 yards and 3 TDs, and RB Rami Tamimi has a slight build, but ran tough for 133 yards and a score. Tepe was almost unstoppable on defense. Mildred’s Payton Weaver was a beast on defense, getting a big sack on the Cougars’ opening drive and blocking a punt early in the second half, in addition to several other tackles for losses.

Game notes: After the Eagles thwarted Reicher’s game-opening drive, the first play was a 25-yard pass from freshman QB Nic Shimonek to junior WR Rody Seilheimer, both making their varsity debuts; the drive ended eight plays later with a Trevor Owen FG, but only after Shimonek scrambled for 8 yards on fourth and 5 … after the second series of the night on defense, senior T/DE Drew Burnett sat out with a virus, dealing the line a big blow … Mildred had only two first downs in the second half, one on its first play, the second on a penalty; three of six first downs overall were via Reicher penalties … down 14-3, Mildred held Reicher on its opening second half drive, and Weaver blocked the punt, setting up a first down at Reicher’s 11; after three plays and seven yards lost, Owen’s second FG attempt ended in a bad snap and intentional grounding penalty … Reicher needed three plays to go up 21-3 … 24 of Mildred’s 32 carries went for 2 yards or less.

Stat of the game: Three plays for minus 52 yards, on bad snaps on two punt attempts and the FG.

Records: Waco Reicher 1-0, Mildred 0-1

They said it: “I thought we played well in the first half, but in the second half, once we couldn’t convert after the blocked punt, you could just see the air go out.” — Mildred coach Patrick Harvell
