Bluekatt Softball In Abilene Tournament - Play in Coleman Tuesday
2/23/2009
When you go to a tournament, you hope that you have some good completion to help improve your team for the upcoming season. That was my hope with the tournament last weekend in Abilene. Once we finished pool play we discovered that we were the smallest class team in our bracket.

On Saturday we opened with 3A Breckenridge and played them well. The final score was 3-0. Eden Duquette pitched very well and was on base every time. Cheyenne Turner got on base 2 of 4 times.

In the second game the BlueKatts played 4A Amarillo Tascosa and defeated them 15 -10. Rynn Norris pitched very well in this game. Every starter got on base at least 2 of 4 time. Eden Duquette was perfect on base with 2 walks, 2 for 2 at bat, 3 RBI’s and one double. Carissa Zarate had a double, 2 for 3 at bat. The team had 19 total stolen bases in the game with Jessica Morales having a game high 5. She also lead the team with in walks with 4. It was a great team effort to win this game.

In the very next game, we had to play 5A Bastrop. They had not been hitting well during the tournament until they played us. It was their 2nd game of the day and they had decided that they would not lose to a 2A school. The girls tried hard but the cold, illness, injury, and Bastrop’s hitting was too much. We lost 13-0. This made us 4th place in our bracket. Bastrop would go on to win the rest of their games easily for the championship. They beat Sweetwater in the finals 13-0 and 10-2.

The Bluekatts play at
home Tuesday, February 24th at 5:00 against former district opponent Grape Creek.  Please come and support these young ladies.

Lady Mountaineers Advance to Regionals
2/23/2009
Santa Anna won a thrilling area playoff game 47-45 over perennial powerhouse Throckmorton on Friday night. Executing the running game and press to near perfection, the Lady Mountaineers jumped on Throckmorton taking a 20-10 lead at the end of the first quarter. The first half score was 31-22 as both teams began to get into foul trouble in the second quarter.

Fouls began to take its toll on the Lady Mountaineers when Sarah Herrod and Kendra Coleman committed fouls early in the third quarter. Up to this point Santa Anna had extended its lead to 15 points. Throckmorton then stormed back outscoring the Lady Mountaineers 16-7 resulting in a 38-38 score at the end of the third quarter.

The fourth quarter was a see-saw battle with both teams building small leads but never able to mount much of a run. In the final minutes Santa Anna was able to hit two free-throws, one by Layken Deleon and the other by Molly Pritchard to win the game. Santa Anna now advances to the regional quarterfinals to play #1 ranked Roby.

Playoff Bound   
2/13/2009  (Contributed by Coach Bob Libby)
The Lady Mountaineers of Santa Anna are currently in the process of making a strong playoff run. It all started on November 11th when the Baird Bears visited Santa Anna and were defeated 45-31. This game started a five game winning streak in which the Lady Mountaineers outscored their opponents by an average of 60-33. Included in that streak was a 66-21 drubbing of last year’s district champion, Paint Rock.

The championship game of the Newcastle Tournament resulted in the Lady Mountaineers first loss, 50-54 to Newcastle. The Lady Mountaineers then started another streak by winning their next five games by an average score of 50-33. Included in that run was a 50-41 victory over perennial powerhouse Priddy.

The championship game of the Rochelle Tournament pitted the Lady Mountaineers against last season’s state semifinalist, the Rochelle Hornettes. The Lady Mountaineers got themselves into early foul trouble and was never able to gain any momentum resulting in their biggest loss of the season, 70-47. Santa Anna then had to visit district foe Blanket, a team that has not fared very well in recent history. However, this season’s Blanket team has been the surprise area team of the year. They caught Santa Anna napping and won by a score of 48-47. Due to the fact that Santa Anna’s district consists of nine teams, this dropped the Lady Mountaineers into a fourth place tie.

Santa Anna has been plagued with injury problems all season. Seniors Layken Deleon and Aidelaida Dean were finally healthy enough to be inserted into the starting lineup which has helped the Lady Mountaineers start another winning streak. Santa Anna is currently on a 15 game streak outscoring its opponents 66-29. Key victories in the streak have been over pre-season favorite Rising Star 57-32 and 63-31; pre-season district runner-up Brookesmith 63-40 and 54-37; district playoff qualifier Blanket 62-51; and district qualifier Zephyr 68-50 and 50-40.

There have been several factors that have been instrumental to the Lady Mountaineer’s success this season.
Number One- Team Play! Santa Anna has had outstanding offensive and defensive efforts at one time or another from every varsity girl, whether it is by scoring, defense or rebounding. The Big Three- Sr. Kendra Coleman 17ppg, 8rpg, 4spg; Sr. Molly Pritchard 14ppg, 9rpg; and So. Sarah Herrod 13ppg, 7rpg, 4spg; have all had consistent performances throughout the season and has started every game. If they were not playing particularly well in one phase of the game, they made up for it somewhere else.

Number Two- Bench play has been a major factor. The following girls have all started for the Lady Mountaineers: Sr. Joanie Dean, Jr.’s EJ Ramsey, Sierra Guerrero and Harlee Anderson, So.’s Paige Guerrero and Loren Pritchard, and Fr. Kaitlyn Krause. When a starter went down or was fatigued, these girls have for the most part, played very consistently.

Number Three- Junior Varsity girls- Jr. Heather McMillan, So. Ashlee Gibson, Fr. Stevie Van Vost, Aspyn King, Kelsie Tobin, Amber Musick, and Becca Melton have all made major contributions with their hustle and hard work. They have been on the receiving end of varsity workouts and have managed to survive. Not only have they survived but there have been moments that they have extended the varsity girls in practice. It has been these moments that has been the most humbling lesson for any varsity player, that is “ Never underestimate or overestimate the ability of you or your competition.”

Friday night begins the final season of the year, the playoffs. Santa Anna will play the Haskell Maidens at home in a practice game on February 13th. Game time is set for 8:00 or after the May/Santa Anna varsity boys’ game. Haskell has a super program and hopefully will help prepare the Lady Mountaineers for the playoffs. As of yet, a practice game for Tuesday has not been set up. Next Friday the Lady Mountaineers will play the winner of the Throckmorton/Trent bi-district game.

9th Boys Results from Thursday
1/30/2009 (contributed by Coach Steve Roberts)
After a few days off the freshman team played Dublin’s JV B team. All though they lost 35 – 32, the young men played with a great deal of determination. On defense they controlled 6 of the 8 Dublin players, but the two sophomores where a little too much for them. They scored 25 of Dublin’s points.

On offense, everyone on the team contributed to the scoring. Cody Peyton had a season high 18 points. Ryan Kuehler and Dillon Dority had 4 points each. Adding 2 points where Troy Hubbard and Able Vasquez. With one point each was Jonathan Amador and Patrick Hollis. In the end too many missed lay-ups and free throws caused the team to lose.

They will not action again until next Tuesday, when they travel to Brady.

The Coleman Bluecats found a way to win a very tough district ball game here in Coleman on Tuesday night. The win over Comanche increases the Bluecats season record to 13-10 and 4-2 in district. “The win over Comanche was huge for our team. We are very excited to win this ball game. We knew going into the game that it was going to be tough. I have had the opportunity to watch Comanche play a couple of games, and knew that they were going to be a very tough team to beat. From the jump ball to the final buzzer, our guys never gave up. At halftime, they just kept telling themselves, that they could beat them. I am extremely proud of how hard our kids fought during this matchup.” said Coach C.J. Villegas.

Colton Buzzard led all scorers with 23 points. Colton displayed a fine night of shooting the basketball Tuesday night. He went 5-5 from the three point line, and 8-8 from the free throw line. He only missed two shots the entire night. “When you have a player shoot 100% from the 3 point and free throw line, then that should give your team a great opportunity to win ball games. As a team we shot 57% from the field, 70% from the three point line, and 92% from the free throw line. When you display an offensive performance like we did Tuesday night, by making key shots that will always be good for the home team," Villegas said.

The Bluecats are finished with the first half of district play and are 4-2 in district. They will have an open game this Friday, January 23, 2009. The other teams will finish up the first half of district play Friday night. “I told the guys Thursday morning, that having that last game open could be a good thing and a bad thing depending on the outcome of the games in the second half of district play. Our guys understand that this playoff hunt is wide open up until this point,” Villegas said.

The Bluecats are riding a three-game winning streak, going into the second half of district play. “We are not able to look past any team in this district. As some of those teams that are at the bottom of district, can easily reverse the record, and make a run for the playoffs. That’s how close this playoff race can get in the second half," Villegas said.

The Bluecats will resume play next Tuesday night January 27 as they travel to Dublin. They will play their next home game Friday, January 30, 2009 against Bangs. We would like to thank the community for their support against Comanche. “I really feel like our players feed off of the crowd. They love for the crowd to get into the game, and that means a lot to them. We would really like for the community’s support for our next few home games as we closeout district play and fight for a playoff spot.”

9th Boys Beat Comanche
1/21/2009  (Contributed by Coach Steve Roberts)

Some times when you play an opponent that you have defeated easily the first time, you have a hard time getting ready for them. Especially when you are a freshman in high school. This was the case last night when the Coleman Freshman team played Comanche for the second time. They defeated them by 15 the first time and did not play very well against them this time.  The team did win 3 of 4 quarters and the game by a score of 31 to 24.  Leading the team in scoring with 10 points was Peyton Cody with 10. Justin Morales had 9 points, Luis Landaverde had 8, with two 3 point shots, and Marcus Hurtado & Troy Hubbard each had two.  This makes them 5-1 against district foes and 6-5 overall.  They will play at 6:30 in Dublin next Tuesday.

Coleman Bluecats Stats from Friday
1/19/2009       (Contributed by Coach C.J. Villegas)
The Coleman Bluecats led the entire game, and were able to outscore the Armadillos, in another district game here in Coleman on Friday night. The win allows the Bluecats to go 3-2 in district play. The loss drops San Saba to 0-4 in district. Dalton Deleon led all scorers with 17 points. “I feel like this game every player contributed well to our team. We had every guy submit positive minutes and positive roles in this game. Andrew Isom had one of his major games of this season, coming off the bench and scoring 9 points. Isom did a fine job, on using his quickness and allowing himself to get the basket and score points.”

Our attention now turns to the Comanche Indians who are 3-1 in district play. “Comanche is considered one of the best teams in this district. Their only loss in district play is to Brady who is undefeated in district. Comanche is a very well disciplined team that does a ton of things right. They have two guys that are 6’4” and a shooting guard that is 6’1”. We are going to have to play our best game of the season, and do things right in order to beat them. Their defense is also very good. They will run a full court press throughout the game, and then drop back into a 2-3 zone. We are going to have to make shots and do our best to keep them off the offensive rebounds.”

Bluecats Beat Early Longhorns - Stats
1/15/2009
  (Contributed by Coach C.J. Villegas)
The Coleman Bluecats were able to pick up a big win Tuesday night, when they traveled to Early and beat the Longhorns 60-54.  The win “evens” the Bluecats record to 2-2 in district play.  “We were very excited to win the ball game against Early, especially in Early.  The road games in this district are going to be really tough.  You have to come in and play all four quarters, no matter who you are playing or where you are playing.  I told the guys, we have to go over there and play four complete quarters of “good” basketball.”  The game was evenly matched throughout the contest, as both teams traded leads throughout the game.  “Our three senior guards:  Dalton Deleon, Colton Buzzard, and Glen Edington led the team Tuesday night in all categories.  Our guards are a very strong point of our team right now, and I truly believe that the way they play night in and night out, is going to depend on our team success.

The team’s focus now turns to San Saba (Fri. 16th) and Comanche next Tuesday, to finish the first half of District play.  The Bluecats will be OPEN on Jan. 23rd.  “We were very fortunate to have open the last game of district.  I think that is going to better prepare us for the 2nd half of district play.  San Saba is a very young team, which has talent.  We cannot look past any team in this district.”

Coleman hosted the Brady Bulldogs in their third contest of district play. Brady was able to hold off the Bluecats by a final score of 59-51. The loss drops the Bluecats to 10-10 overall and 1-2 in district play. The Bluecats will travel to Early on Tuesday, January 13 and then will host San Saba on Friday, January 16. “We did a very good job of fighting and not getting down when we were down by more than 20 pts. in the 4th quarter. Our guys did a great job of finding a way to get back into the game. We were able to get within 6 pts. in the final minute of the game.” The Bluecats were led by Senior Guard Dalton Deleon who led all scorers with 32 points. “Dalton scored 20 points in the 4th quarter alone and ended the game with 32. Also, I would like to cite the play of Glen Edington and Jamal Agbor. These two seniors did a ton of positive things for their team Friday night. They do a ton of “undercover” work, that does not get put into the paper. They are two young men, that will go out and fight no matter what the situation is and their attitude really carried us, Friday night.”

From Coach Tracy Dawson:  We chose a bad time to put together our worst shooting game and a sub-par defensive game, we were unable to adjust to the officiating,  at Bangs Tuesday it was like football and Friday was like a powder puff game.  But we have to be able to play both ways and adjust.  Myself and the players did not bring our best Friday night and paid the price for not being intense and focused on the task at hand.   We have to let this game go and get ready for our toughest two games of district, Tuesday at Early and Friday San Saba at home.  We have the ability to win both games but we have to play better defense and shoot better than 35% to win.  Go BlueKatts!!  (Photos courtesy of Gary Strickland)

Coleman Bluecats 37 vs. Bangs 48
1/8/2009
The Coleman Bluecats fell to the Bangs Dragons 37-48 Tuesday night in Bangs. The loss drops the Bluecats to 1-1 in district, but far from accomplishing their main goal of the season on making the playoffs. Coach C.J. Villegas says, "Bangs did a great job on the offensive rebounds. As a team we shot the ball as terribly as we have all season. Bangs and every other team in the district are going to be hard to beat at their place, and its even tougher on us, when we do not make shots." Senior leader, Colton Buzzard, led the team in all categories. "We have a long ways to go in this district race, the good thing is that we will have a shot at playing each opponent twice in district."
The Bluecats will be in town on Friday, and will host the Brady Bulldogs. "Brady started off district at 2-0. They are a very good team, that has proven to be successful in the last couple of years playing a couple of playoff games. They return a strong nucleus of that team from last year. They have a point guard and a 6'7" post, that are a very active and a major role on their team. We will have to do our best to keep those two from hurting us. They are a very talented group."

The Coleman JV Bluecats boy’s basketball team traveled to Bangs last night. The Bluecats fell to the Dragons JV by a score of 39-29. After getting outscored 14-3 in the first quarter the Bluecats fought back and were only down by five going into the 4th quarter, but the comeback fell short. Kyle Russell had the hot hand shooting with 15 points, while freshman Logan Owens added 6. Coach Alcorn added that “This was the hardest we’ve played and hustled all year. The shots just weren’t falling tonight, but our kids kept playing through it and fighting and still had a chance at the end of the game.” The Bluecats will be at home this Friday with another district game hosting the Brady Bulldogs.

Coach C. J. Villegas said, “I was very impressed how the guys came out in the 2nd half and fought. We were down in the 3rd quarter by 7 points. We made a few adjustments defensively which put ourselves in a position to win the ball game. Also, in the 4th quarter we went 9 for 11 from the free throw line. I was glad that we were able to knock down clutch free throws and walk away with a win. It feels very good to win the first district ball game. I told the guys after the game, that every game we play in district is going to have the same feeling. All the teams in District 8-AA are going to be tough, and we are going to have to play smart basketball every game in order for us to win. Our four senior basketball players: Dalton Deleon, Glen Edington, Colton Buzzard and Jamal Agbor all played significant roles in this contest. Trent Hambright also, did a great job for us defensively.”

The Coleman Bluecats will resume district play when they travel to Bangs on January 6. They will play their next district home game on January 9 against Brady. "We would like to see another huge crowd for the Brady game. Thanks to the booster club for setting the events up for home games."
