Yoemen overwhelmed in loss to China Spring

Throughout the first two weeks of the season, China Spring has been one of the more dominating teams in the state of Texas.  The Cougars had rolled by rival Lorena in week one and followed that up with another thrashing of Huntsville in week two. 

Not much changed on Friday night from Yoe Field, as the Cougars continued that streak of impressive victories in an overpowering 63-13 victory over the Yoemen.  

Even before the opening kickoff of this highly anticipated matchup, things were not going the way of the Yoemen.  With some confusion on the coin flip, Cameron accidentally decided to kick the ball off to China Spring even though they had deferred to the second half. 

Initially, it did not hurt as the Yoemen forced China Spring into a quick three-and-out.  However, the Cameron offense would never be able to put up points and the special teams unit failed to recover two kickoffs.  All of this led to China Spring taking a commanding 35-0 lead into the locker room. 

Brett Cain started the scoring off with a 1-yard TD run to put China Spring up 7-0 with 6:34 left in the first.  The combination of the China Spring offensive line and RB Keaton Dudik were a deadly combo from that point forward.  

The senior scored on runs of 20 yards and 94 yards, in addition to a 29-yard pass from QB Cutter Haigood that would put the game out of reach at the half.  

Haigood extended the lead to 42-0 early in the third with an 8-yard run.  The Yoemen got on the board later in the quarter as QB Zack Andress would find Jordan Young in the end zone on an 8-yard pass.  Yoe Receiver Garrett Roeder would catch (26-yard) the other touchdown pass from Andress to close the gap to 49-13 as we headed to the final quarter of play. 

Erik Hart, another running-back in the Cougar's stable, would punch in a pair of 11-yard and 6-yard scores in the fourth.
