CADETS SPOIL YOE HOMECOMING, 40-15 |
|
(CAMERON) For the 4th straight week, the 2003 Yoemen fell in a big way, as the Waco Connally Cadets spoiled Homecoming at Yoe Field, with a 40-15 win. Amanda Ryza was crowned Homecoming Queen during homecoming festivities.
Yoe defenders try to bring down Waco Connally running back, Joe Alford The Yoemen opened Friday's game with an impressive opening drive that gave them an early 7-0 lead. The Yoemen drove 83 yards on that drive, capped by a 22-yard Shane Taylor run, but Waco Connally seemed unimpressed, as they reeled off 40 unanswered points before the Yoemen would get on the board again late in the 4th quarter. The Cadets led 13-7 at half-time, but exploded in the 3rd quarter for a pair of touchdowns to build a commanding 26-7 lead headed into the 4th quarter.
Yoe offensive linemen get help with the game-plan The Cadets improved to 3-0 on the year with Friday's win, as a trio of Cadet players scored two touchdowns each. Joe Alford, Taurean Williams and DeMarcus Gidding each scored for the Cadets. Alford led all rushers in the game, with 133 yards and two scores on just 7 carries for the night, while quarterback, Lance Lofton threw for 67 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Yoe defense. Shane Taylor led the Yoemen on the night with 64 yards on 6 carries and a touchdown.

After a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty on the play, the Yoemen converted a two-point try when Pinchback hit sophomore Derrick Evans on a pass to the end zone.
