LIGHTNING STRIKE ON A CLEAR DAY

It was another hot day in South Texas with no ran it sight but, the South Texas Lightning did their own version of lightning from the sky with dominating performances.

First up was the Tiny Mites.  Coach Brandon Henderson has his team going in the right direction with a physical offensive game and bruising defense.  Once again the Tiny Mites scored often and their defense had another shut out.

The Mitey Mites were on the same path of destruction.  Coach Hood had his team mentally and physically prepared for this weeks match up and the players destroyed the Predators.  Running and passing at will while the defense steamrolled the Predators all game long never giving up a score.

In the final game of the day the Pee Wee team remained undefeated with a 32-0 score.  Not hiding from the Predators the Pee Wees dominated from the opening kick off to the end of the game. 

The defense is the best in the league and they proved again this week by only allowing five first downs in the game, played on the Predators side of the ball and never letting the Predators find their way into scoring position. 

The Jr Pee Wees are now 2-0 as the Predators did not have a team.

Next up are the Wolfpack at PSJA North HS

LIGHTNING TAME THE WOLFPACK

Another blistering day, but as the heat continues to crank up so do the Lightning as they whipped the Wolfpack into submission.

Once again the Tiny Mites started the day off by out cunning the Pack.  With a defense that has not allowed an opponent into the end zone and a offense that has too many weapons for teams to handle it is obvious why this team is so dominant.

 In the most entertaining game of the day the Mitey Mites came out with improved vigor.  With the scored tied at seven the Mitey Mites scored with just seconds remaining on the clock to take a one touchdown lead.  After a lightning time out the Wolfpack lined up and ran to the left side of the field and scored with no time remaining on the clock.  It was a great effort by both teams. 

The Jr Pee Wee team has continued to improve and improve they have.  At 3-0 they have positioned themselves as the team to beat in their division.  They have a very strong defense and the offense controls the outcome of the game.  The mercy rule was in effect as they put up 28 points to keep the clock running.  Final score 35-7

The Pee Wee team flexed their muscle for the third straight game in a 41-7 thrashing of the Wolfpack.  The outcome of the game was determined from the opening kickoff as the Lightning returned it for a touchdown.  The defense dominated with crushing hits and take-aways.  The only score for the Wolfpack came on a kickoff return in the second quarter with the Lightning up 27-0.

In the second half the Lightning put the game away with two scores and the game was under a mercy ruling for the third straight week.
