Copperas Cove’s Canete leads Red to win in inaugural Victory volleyball game Waco Tribune-Herald (TX) - Sunday, June 15, 2014 Author: JASON ORTS jorts@wacotrib.com
After five years of putting on only an all-star football game, the Heart of Texas Fellowship of Christian Athletes decided to be more inclusive this year. The Super Centex Victory Bowl volleyball game was added to the docket, and its inaugural contest was held Saturday at University High School. Copperas Cove’s Qiana Canete made the game her own personal playground. Canete, the two-time District 8-5A MVP, brought oohs and aahs from the crowd with a series of powerful swings that accounted for 10 kills and helped her Red team sweep past the Blue in three sets, 25-15, 25-19, 25-19. Canete was named the game’s MVP, and Red coach Stacy Meyers of Belton was elated to not have to coach against her again. “I’ve played against her enough that it’s nice to end with her on my side,” Meyers said. “She’s a great kid. She’s obviously very talented, but she’s also humble. She’s not all about herself. It’s fun to work with a kid that has so much talent that doesn’t (make it all about herself).” Before the game, the Red team decided that MVP award would go to one of its teammates that didn’t get to play Saturday, as Blum’s Bristen Gilpin left Thursday after her aunt was killed in a car wreck. For Meyers, that gesture summed up what this week’s message.

“They were selfless about it,” Meyers said. “It was about their teammates, and they wanted to honor her in a special way. It’s about someone else. It’s never about us. It ended for me on a good note in that we got to see from the kids what we were hoping we would.” While the Blue never really got itself into the match, save for a 4-0 lead to start the second set, Fairfield’s Bree Bossier put on her own impressive hitting display. She had six of her eight kills in that second set and also added a pair of blocks in the first. Part of the intrigue of the game, as it was in the first few editions of the football game, was to see how players from the lower classifications would stack up against those from bigger schools. “Everybody just kind of came together,” Blue coach Kari Sowders said. “We had some girls from some big schools, from Midway all the way down to 1A. There was kind of an intimidation factor for those little ones at first, but they really were embraced by the bigger-school girls. I really appreciated that, and they knew what this was about.” For Sowders and Meyers, it was also a chance to coach their own players one more time. Sowders had three from Lorena on the Blue in Cassidey Crye, Raychel Mynarcik and Madi Theut, while Meyers had Kinsey Williams of Belton playing for the Red. Theut earned the Molly Martinsen Award, named in honor of a Baylor volleyball fan who died from a brain tumor in 2012 at the age of 11, for being the player who was the most “all in” during the week. “(The three Lorena) girls are top kids,” Sowders said. “They work hard, they have a passion about what they do. Madi getting the Molly award was huge for me to see that other people saw how hard she worked. That was part of what Molly had been through, just fighting through adversity. That was a proud moment to be able to coach them and then see that happen for her.”

Bosqueville, Lorena stars lift Blue to Victory Bowl win, 21-16
By JASON ORTS jorts@wacotrib.com | Posted: Sunday, June 15, 2014 12:01 am
The tide is turning in the Super Centex Victory Bowl.
The Red team won each of the first four games in history of the event, which is hosted by the Heart of Texas Fellowship of Christian Athletes, but CJ Collins threw for 143 yards and two touchdowns to help the Blue score 21 unanswered points and earn its second straight victory, 21-16, Saturday night at Waco ISD Stadium.
Collins was also intercepted once, but his performance earned him the Bob McQueen offensive MVP award.
“Being able to have receivers that run a 4.3 (40-yard dash) and have unbelievable speed and hands that can catch the ball (is great),” said Collins, a standout performer in his career at Bosqueville. “I give huge thanks to the line. They did amazing, giving me time.”
Fairfield’s Jacob Gallegos also led a touchdown drive for the Blue early in the third quarter, a march he capped by hitting his high school teammate Alex Ward over the middle for a 10-yard touchdown. Ward caught the pass in the middle of the field and managed to pick his way through a crowded space to find the goal line.
At that point it was 21-7, and the Blue unleashed its defense after that.
Red quarterbacks were sacked four times and harassed all night, resulting in a 9-for-31 performance with two interceptions.
Lorena’s Kyle Perlowski was the spearhead of that relentless group, finishing with a team-high seven tackles to earn the Bob McQueen defensive MVP honor.
“It was great. All through the week the coaches told us we wanted to have fun before winning, and we had fun,” Perlowski said. “It was great meeting all these new players.
You didn’t know them at first, and then by the end of the week I was real close with some of them.”
Italy’s TaMarcus Sheppard had the most success of the three quarterbacks Red used, hitting on three of his five passing attempts for 37 yards, and he also rushed for a teambest 36 yards and its only rushing touchdown, a 3-yard keeper off left tackle to give his team a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.
Blue in control
But the Blue took over from there.
Collins got his team on the board with a 27-yard strike to Javon Livings, who beat manto-man coverage down the right sideline to cap the longest drive of the night for either team of 85 yards. Runs of 13, 10 and 15 from Robinson’s Jerrich Alford got the Blue moving, and it was helped by a face mask penalty after a short completion on the play before the touchdown pass.
“That touchdown was huge for us,” Collins said. “We had to start somewhere, and the goose egg on the scoreboard wasn’t good for us. But we got on the board and everybody got more life.”
The Blue went ahead for good later in the second quarter, when Collins was flushed to his left but saw Chilton’s Charles Simpson all alone on the left sideline. Simpson made a cut to avoid a tackler and coasted the rest of the way for a 49-yard score with only 1:15 left before halftime.
Taking chances
“Our plan was to take some shots,” Blue coach Tommy Allison said. “We had two unbelievable quarterbacks, and we had some speed on the edges, so we were going to take shots and see what happens. The kids made some plays, and then that other group to start the second half smashed it down the field and played some smash-mouth football, so we got to do a little bit of both.”
The Blue had different plans for both of its quarterbacks, however.
Collins is more of a drop-back passer, while Gallegos is better with a read-and-react type of attack. Both worked, and Allison was excited to see what a couple of his former Robinson players were able to help, with Alford running for a game-best 67 yards behind
an offensive line anchored by former Rocket center Andrew Netherland. The Red made it interesting by getting a safety late in the third quarter, then Crawford’s Colton Adamick won a jump ball in the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown from McGregor’s Troy Allison with 56 seconds remaining.
“I was just in the moment,” Adamick said. “I went up, bobbled it, focused on it and just made the play. It was a lot of fun.”
But the Blue’s Thomas Jones of Goldthwaite fell on the ensuing onside kick, and it ran out the clock to clinch the win.
Adamick finished with four catches for 64 yards, and he took an end-around 21 yards as well. Troy Allison rarely had time to operate, but threw for 80 yards to lead the Red.
