Magnolia slips past Waller with last-second field goal
By Marianne Kosik
WISD Public Information
WALLER - The Waller High School varsity Bulldogs lost to the Magnolia Bulldogs 17-14 on Saturday, Sept. 27.
Magnolia kicked the game winning field goal with 3 seconds left in the ballgame.
Waller played hard all the way to the end, and there was a “never give up” attitude on display.
Offensively, turnovers kept being the thorn in Waller’s side.
Jermaine Davis, Chris Weigand, Alex McFad-din, Jason Lafferty, Glen Hill, Christ Tompkins, Miller Pierce, and Austin Tilton all had solid performances.
Pierce scored Waller’s first touchdown from 20 yards out on a quarterback sweep. Jermaine Davis scored Waller’s second touchdown on a 30-yard scamper around the left side. Jacobie White and Sulay Varnie contributed with solid blocking performances as well.
Defensively, the Bull-dogs had a very good night. Twice, Magnolia was turned away on fourth and goal situations with no points. Scott Thourot, Josh Dorsey, Javier Cuello, Alex Ramirez, Donovan White, Jacobie White, Darius Nash, Tyler Bain, Keith White, Sonny Cook, Robert Loewe, Christ Tomp-kins, Miller Pierce, Josh Haines, Jonathon White, and Chad Madden stepped up big when they had to in order to shut down Magnolia. Magnolia also tried a fake field goal that was snuffed out by the Bulldogs.
This week, the Bulldogs will play a dangerous Montgomery Bear team that narrowly lost to Brenham in last week’s district opener. The Bulldogs are looking to get back on track after this heart-breaking loss, but the resolve they have shown all year leaves no doubt they will come out determined to win. Kickoff is at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, in Bulldog stadium. Come support the Bulldogs!
