Blue finally beats Red in FCA Victory Bowl, 35-21 By Jason Orts Waco Tribune-Herald 

The Blue has finally tasted success in the Victory Bowl. 

In the first four editions of the contest, the Red had won in all manner of ways, including an overtime thriller, a regulation game that came down to the final play and an absolute blowout en route to a perfect 4-0 mark. 

Saturday night, Robinson’s Carson Earp threw for 126 yards and two touchdowns, and Mexia’s Broderick Reeves turned in a 123-yard rushing performance that included an electrifying 71-yard touchdown to help the Blue take a 35-21 decision at Floyd Casey Stadium. 

“It’s great,” said Blue coach Willie Williams, of La Vega. “It was the first time I stepped on the football field and didn’t have to do anything. Coach (Daniel) Johnson (of Teague) took the offense, and (La Vega defensive coordinator Don) Hyde took the defense, and all of us pitched in on special teams. It was great, but the best experience was to be around kids with a lot of character. Some of them gave their lives to Christ, and that’s what it is all about was the fellowship.” 

Reeves needed only six carries to produce his fireworks, but it was his first of the night in particular that earned him the Bob McQueen Offensive MVP award. 

“As I was running the ball, I saw that the defensive line had done a twist, something the coaches had told us they were going to do,” Reeves said. “When I saw the outside linebacker roll out to cover the receiver, I knew if I could hit the outside, it would be open. But I wasn’t expecting a touchdown.” 

Reeves’ captivating jaunt down the left sideline gave Blue a lead it never relinquished and included a broken ankle tackle around the Red 40-yard line. Once he was beyond that last defender, however, there was nobody in the building who could catch him. 

The Blue defense was just as much of the story as its offense, as turned a back-and-forth game into a blowout by keeping the Red off the board in the second half until the game was already decided. 

Its last line of defense proved to be its best, as Waco High safety Adrian Norwood, the Super Centex Defensive Player of the Year, was a sure tackler all night and also broke up two passes along the way to earn Bob McQueen Defensive MVP honors. 

“Getting back out there, I wasn’t really in shape that much, but the coaches put me in great positions to make plays,” Norwood said. “I was just listening to them, executing and reading my keys, and fortunately I was able to do that.” 

The Blue began turning the game into a one-sided affair when it forced a punt after the Red took the second-half kickoff, and then ventured 67 yards — all on the ground, in seven plays — with La Vega’s Randy Gober capping the march with a 2-yard plunge. 

Gober put together a workmanlike performance with 81 yards on 13 carries and the score, which came on his final tote of the night, and helped the Blue rack up 278 yards on the ground as a team. 

The Blue got the ball back after a punt and ripped off a 34-yard march in four plays, the last of which covered 28 on a pass from Earp to Lorena’s Cooper Cox that turned it into a 35-13 rout. 

The Red got into the end zone one more time when Gatesville quarterback Cole Edmiston found teammate Tyler Jaynes for an 8-yard TD on a back-shoulder fade, and Ellison’s Isiah Cowen completed the scoring with a two-point run with 3:02 to go. 

Even though it is an all-star game and mostly about fun and fellowship, the Blue members admitted being the ones to break the Red’s stranglehold on the game was an added bonus. 

“That was our drive and our motivation all week,” Norwood said. “The Blue team has never won. Let’s make history, so we went out there and accomplished it.” 

In the first half, the teams traded scores three times. 

The Blue made all of its count, however, finding the end zone three times, while the Red team had to settle for a pair of field goals. 

After Reeves pushed the Blue in front, Earp connected with Corsicana’s Bobby Wallace on a pump-and-go down the right sideline for a 27-yard touchdown that made it a 21-13 score. 

The Blue went ahead 7-3 with 3:05 to go in the first when Florence quarterback Kaleb Hardy found an open Zane Trotter in the right flat with nobody around him for a 2-yard touchdown. 

The Red got a huge break on its next march. It was forced to punt, but Axtell’s Lucas Helleck forced a fumble that Hamilton’s Cody Richmond fell on top of at the Blue 25. 

That came on the last play of the first quarter, and Gatesville quarterback Cole Edmiston took over at the helm of the Red offense. On a fourth-and-12 from the Blue 27, Edmiston flashed the form that made him the Super Centex Offensive Player of the Year when he scrambled around before finding Bremond’s Corey Bienski working back toward his quarterback on the left side, making the catch and rolling down the sideline for a 22-yard gain to the Blue 5. 

Ellison’s Isiah Cowan took a handoff straight up the middle for a score on the next play, pushing the Red back in front, 10-7, with 9:05 to go before halftime. 

Gatesville kicker Sebastian Corrales got the Red on the board with a 42-yard field goal to cap off its opening drive at the 7:53 mark of the first quarter, and he put another one through at 3:02 of the second quarter to draw his team to within 14-13. 

“It’s special (to win), but the whole event is special,” Williams said. “It helped me out to reinvigorate myself. I can’t say enough about the experience, just to have my son here to see such a thing. I praise God for even giving me the opportunity.”
