Yoemen take down #7 Bellville, 33-10

The Cameron Yoemen opened the 2016 season on Friday night by defeating the highly touted Bellville Brahmas, 33-10.  The Brahmas, which are ranked inside the top ten of multiple 4A division two polls, only managed one touchdown off of the stingy Yoe defense.  Meanwhile, the Yoe offense was proficient, scoring three touchdowns in the first half while taking a commanding 20-3 lead into the locker room at the half.  Bellville managed to get the game to as close as 26-10 in the third quarter, but the Yoemen quickly dashed any hopes of a comeback after a Sicory Smith 72-yard pass from quarterback Zack Andress early on in the fourth quarter. 

Smith was unstoppable all night on offense, totally 216 yards through the air to go along with three touchdowns. In his first start as the quarterback for Cameron, Andress was efficient, completing 16-23 passes for 345 yards.  Besides the lone touchdown in the third quarter, the Yoe defense did not allow the Brahmas to sustain drives, giving up under 150 total yards in the contest.
