Loading ...Wimberley dominates early but barely escapes with a win against Sealy
Posted By admin on September 24, 2010
The #5 ranked Wimberley Texans spent most of Friday night building a 31-17 over the #4 ranked Sealy Tigers. With just over one minute left in the game nearly everyone at the stadium assumed Wimberley would salt away the time and walk out with the win – everyone except the Texans offense. A Wimberley fumble in their own endzone was recovered for a touchdown by Sealy and suddenly it was a new game.
Sealy recovered the ensuing onside kick and scored again with just 7 seconds remaining. Sealy Head Coach Jimmie Mitchell decided to go for the two-point conversion and the win. There was no immediate call as Ricky Seals-Jones tried to go straight up the gut, but after a few nervous seconds, the fans at Texans Stadium erupt when officials signaled that it was no good. The Sealy head coach was penalized and then tossed from the game after storming onto the field incensed at the call. Another unsportsmanlike conduct call saw Sealy attempting their second straight onside-kick, this time from their own 15 yard line.
Once again, Sealy recovered the high bouncer and had enough time for one play. A bit of trickery and improvisation turned into a long run by the Sealy QB that was stopped just 15 yards short of a miracle touchdown. Had the Sealy coaching staff not backed them up so far with penalties, it easily would have ended up as a score.
Wimberley was led by running back Dennis Smith who scored all of the Texan TDs with 3 rushing TDs and returned an interception 75 yards for another score.
