09.28.2010: Volleyball: Eagle Pass 3, LBJ 0
The Lady Eagles swept, 25-17, 25-19, 25-16. Eagle Pass improved to 10-0 in District 29-5A, 23-5 overall. LBJ fell to 2-8, 6-17. Leading the way for LBJ was Jennifer Salinas (six blocks), Mariana Rosales (five blocks) and Leticia Reyes (14 digs, six kills).
Week 4: Football: LBJ 30, Nixon 3
LBJ senior running back Ricky Flores continued to prove why he is the premiere back in Laredo Friday night when he led the Wolves to a 30-3 victory over the Nixon Mustangs at the SAC.
LBJ head football coach Oscar Villaseñor said Flores' production was even more impressive because the Wolves had lost one of their top offensive linemen to sickness the day before the game.
Running behind the makeshift line, Flores rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries. Most of the young tailback's yards came in the first half, when he ran for 99 yards.
Flores was assisted out of the backfield by fellow ballcarriers Luis Vaca and Jerry Ayala. Ayala's single carry went for 60 yards and set up the Wolves within the Nixon 10 for Flores' lone touchdown.
The Wolves attempted only two passes, by two different players, and quarterback Juan Perez carried the ball more often than he threw it.
Perez's two carries went for 39 yards, highlighted by a 27-yard option keeper for a touchdown.
LBJ's defense performed spectacularly throughout the night, limiting the Mustangs to only 156 yards of offense and forcing five turnovers.
Nixon quarterback Manny Martinez struggled to find consistency, in large part due to the continued pressure and shifting alignments of the LBJ defense, which sacked him four times.
Martinez threw for 96 yards and three interceptions, completing 11 of 22 pass attempts.
Almost all of Martinez's passing yards came on a 76-yard pass to Jesus Hinojosa, who was tackled just six yards shy of the end zone after an impressive run after the catch.
Heralded Nixon wide receiver Juan Hernandez, who returned from injury this week, did not have a single reception and hardly had a ball thrown his way all night.
A late bright spot for the Mustangs was the play of sophomore Ritchie Rendon, who rushed for 36 yards on seven attempts when put into the game late in the fourth.
The Wolves finished the night with 222 yards of offense.

Week 3: Football: Del Rio 28, LBJ 0
Dangerous dark skies appeared to be held aloft by the illuminated lights on Saturday night at the SAC as the LBJ Wolves hosted the Del Rio Rams.
The predicted precipitation held off until the second half kick-off, but the game was already out of reach for the Wolves, as they trailed by 21 en route to a 28-0 defeat.
LBJ dropped to 1-2 overall, 0-2 in District 29-5A. Del Rio (3-0, 2-0) is one of three 29-5A teams still undefeated on the season, joining Cigarroa and Eagle Pass.
The Rams received the opening kickoff and advanced it to their own 35-yard line before junior quarterback Parker Hanson even took a snap.
Diego Cadena, the Rams' senior running back, carried the ball on five of seven plays in their 65-yard opening drive. Greg Rodriguez capped the drive with a 10-yard touchdown run to spur a Del Rio flourish.
The Rams' defense held the Wolves to only 18 total yards in the first half, 22 rushing and negative-4 passing.
The Wolves also turned the ball over twice — once on an interception and another on a botched pitch play.
The Rams' offense rolled through the first half with 140 rushing yards and 46 passing to equal 186 yards of offensive production, while they, too, had two turnovers.
The second half featured such stymied offensive production from both sides that both fell well short of 100 offensive yards in the final two quarters.
LBJ had only 65 second half yards, while Del Rio gained 87.
The game ended with a spark of brilliance by the Rams' special teams' squad as Jordan Terrell returned the Wolves' punt for an 87-yard touchdown in the closing ticks of the game.
Ricky Flores, LBJ's star senior running back, ran for 87 yards, but big losses at pivotal moments defined and plagued the Wolves.

09.14.2010: Volleyball: LBJ 3, Martin 2
The Lyndon B. Johnson Lady Wolves finally broke into the district win column.
The Lady Wolves beat Martin on the road, 25-18, 20-25, 25-22, 22-25 and 16-14 to claim their first District 29-5A win for the season.
Martin, which earlier in the season had broken a three-year winless district drought, was not able to take advantage of its home crowd.

LBJ, however, behind Lety Reyes and Lizzette Martinez, started to find the holes in the Martin defense.
The Lady Wolves built a 20-15 lead on great offensive movement of the ball and a defense that denied Martin any offensive momentum.
A different Martin team took the court in game two.
Amy Delgado and Amber Garcia controlled the net to start Martin's offensive attack.
LBJ battled every step of the way, keeping within striking distance to regain the lead at any moment, but the Lady Tigers took game two to even the series.
LBJ jumped out to a quick 6-1 lead when it was penalized for a wrong rotation to its lead and fall behind 2-1.
The loss of those points, though, did not deter the Lady Wolves’ motivation as they regained the lead at 5-3.
LBJ maintained the lead all the way through to take game three, 25-22.
Martin fought back to even up the series at two, taking the fourth game, 25-22, to send it to the fifth and final game.
Both teams pulled out all the stops with great offensive play and a defense that would not give up.
Down the stretch, Martin committed key errors on defense, leaving LBJ jumping for joy with its first district win.

Week 1: LBJ 15, La Joya Juarez Lincoln 6
The LBJ Wolves entered the 2010 season with one mission: Make history.
No team wearing the purple and gold has ever won more than three games in a season; this year, LBJ has set its sight on four or more.
They Wolves looked well on their way to reaching their goal Thursday night at the SAC when they beat La Joya Juarez-Lincoln, 15-6, in their season opener.
Quarterback Juan Perez and running back Ricky Flores may have had everyone’s eyes on their backs entering the game, but the story of the night was the LBJ defense, which held Juarez-Lincoln (0-2) to just 20 yards in the first half, and a mere 100 yards total.
The Wolves defense was constantly in the Juarez-Lincoln backfield, hitting running backs before they reached the line of scrimmage and forcing quarterback Emmanuel Lucio into incomplete passes and costly turnovers.
If the first half was about the defense, the second half was about Ricky Flores and the value of a bruising ground attack.
Flores gained 101 yards in the second half while leading the team down the field in four drives which, while they didn't score any points, did drain valuable time off the clock.
The time-consuming drives were crucial in keeping Juarez-Lincoln off the field to preserve the victory.
LBJ finished the game with 206 yards of total offense.
Flores contributed the bulk of the offensive production with 120 yards on 21 carries.
Perez had nine carries for 25 yards and one touchdown. He also completed two-of-nine passes for 40 yards and one touchdown.
