The long drive south to Hebbronville paid off for the Freshman Bobcats last week. The young Refugio team played one of their best games of the season as they defeated the Longhorns 35-8.

The Bobcats took the opening kickoff and scored very quickly after a 14-yard run by Cameron Sternadel. The Bobcat defense did its part on the next series when Joe Williams intercepted a Hebbronville pass to set up the offense on their own 42-yard line.

Two plays later, Sternadel scored on a 55-yard pass from Brett Davis. Juan Ramirez kicked the extra point to make it 14-0. A long drive by Hebbronville made the score 14-8.

Late in the second quarter Refugio would strike again as Malcom Franklin scored on an 18-yard run. The game stayed 21-8 until the fourth quarter when Davis tossed a 26-yard touchdown pass to Sternadel once again.

On the following kickoff John Wesley Shipp delivered a crushing hit to force a fumble. Chris Williams scooped up the ball and raced in from 32-yards out.

Juan Ramirez kicked the extra point. He was 5 for 5 on the evening. The game ended 35-8.

Defensively Andrew Garcia, Shipp, Jacob Solis and Davin Henderson had outstanding games.

The Refugio Orange will play Thursday Oct. 22 in Victoria against the St. Joseph Flyers.
