The LBJ Wolves spent their Saturday making history.
Playing in front of a homecoming crowd, the Wolves defeated the Martin Tigers 19-0 at the SAC.
The dominant victory, which was the fourth win of the season for LBJ, officially made this year’s team the winningest squad in the school's young history.
The ingredients in the Wolves’ victory were all the usual suspects in a successful VillaseƱor-coached team: a strong running game and a superb defense.
LBJ's (3-3 District 29-5A, 4-3 overall) experienced defense, which is among the best in the district, forced a pair of turnovers from the Martin Tigers (1-5, 1-6) and made stops when they needed them to keep their opponent off the board.
The Wolves didn’t entirely look like their early season I-formation selves either. LBJ made a few adjustments to the offense and increasingly ran the ball toward the edges of the field out of a shotgun formation that successfully amassed 228 yards of team offense.
LBJ was led by Ricky Flores, who racked up 143 yards and two scores on 18 carries, including an early 56-yard touchdown run.
Flores' frequent partner in the backfield, Vaca, also performed well, contributing 31 yards on nine carries, including a 13-yard score on a direct snap.
Martin’s offense performed better than the score indicates as it twice reached the LBJ red zone to come up empty-handed both times.
The Tigers attempted just a handful of passes and completed only one for a short five yards; it was the only complete pass by either team in the entire game.
The majority of the game was spent pounding it out on the ground where seven players received touches.
Martin’s Mario TreviƱo led his team in rushing with 79 yards on 16 carries and running back Salvador Farias was second among the team’s many running backs with eight carries for 50 yards.
