JV Blue and White

Thursday, Sept 3:

The JV Blue team lost 18-6.
The Clements JV blue team received the opening kickoff and engineered a 9 minute drive that unfortunately was stopped on a fourth down attempt in Pasadena Memorial territory. The offensive line did a great job and Michael Cairnes and Umair Karowadia did a great job of running hard with the football. Mike Seitz even got in on the action with a 5 yard quarterback sneak for a 1^st down. After giving up a couple of first downs to the Memorial offense, Scott Clark scooped up a fumble and raced about 40 yards untouched to the endzone to give the Rangers an early 6-0 lead. A blocked punt and a fumble led to Pasadena Memorial’s next 2 scores leaving the Rangers trailing 12-6 at halftime. Memorial tacked on another touchdown in the 2^nd half making the final score 18-6. The Rangers have been plagued by injuries early this season so hats off to the guys that never seemed to come off the field and battled hard all night under tough conditions. Expect the Rangers to be much improved and ready to start district next week against Austin.

Freshman White Game Summary

The Freshman White team was consistent in all things during the first game of the year except for holding on to the football. They fumbled the ball 6 times in a 26-0 loss. Pasadena scored once every quarter by taking advantage of excellent field position.

Offensively, the Rangers began moving the ball but the fumbles continually ended each drive.

Defensively, the Rangers often stopped Memorial. Memorial eventually took advantage of a tired Ranger defense and scored once every quarter to put the game out of reach.

It was a rough first game, but definitely a learning experience. The White team will be extremely motivated for the next game on the schedule against Austin.

Thursday, Sept 3: The Freshman Blue team lost 18-30.

The Freshman Blue team opened the season Thursday night at Pasadena. The Rangers were defeated by the Mavs 30-18. At times through out the game the Rangers looked sharp on both sides of the ball. Touchdowns were scored by Trevor Moore and Jim Nork. The Rangers look to improve this up coming week as the take on the Austin Bulldogs at Kempner Stadium.
