SAN SABA – The Class A Division I No. 5 Coleman Bluecats clinched at least a share of the District 4 championship and the league’s top playoff seed with a 49-7 road victory over the San Saba Armadillos Friday night.

Coleman (8-0, 4-0) generated 364 yards of total offense, with 318 of those coming on the ground, and gave the ball away only once. San Saba (2-7, 2-2) finished with 208 yards of total offense – 158 passing and 52 rushing – and committed four turnovers.

Ryland Gentry led the Bluecat rushing attack with 117 yards and a 38-yard touchdown, Cort McFadden chipped in 115 yards with a 68-yard score, quarterback Jadin Jackson tallied 55 yards and crossed the goal twice from 1 and 4 yards out, and Brent Bouldin tacked on 14 yards with a 1-yard touchdown carry.

Through the air, Jackson was 2 of 4 for 47 yards with a 39-yard completion to Braxon Smith and a 7-yard toss to Devinar Roberson.

Defensively, Smith returned interceptions 51 and 82 yards for a pair of Coleman touchdowns.

For the Armadillos, Lance Taylor completed 16 of 29 passes for 123 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. Reagan Mejia also completed a 33-yard pass on his lone attempt. Tyler Johnson led San Saba with six catches for 71 yards, Wesley Lackey added six grabs for 37 yards, Mejia finished with three receptions for 13 yards, Drake Bryant caught a 22-yard touchdown and Franco Franco hauled in a 13-yard catch.

On the ground, Taylor led the way with 43 yards followed by Tegan Suiz with 27.

Defensively for San Saba, Zuri Herrera logged 14 tackles followed by Ethan Gonzales with 11 and Bryant with 10, while Lackey recorded an interception.

Coleman will host Winters (2-6, 1-3), fresh off a 55-21 victory over De Leon (0-9, 0-4), next week to wrap up the regular season.

Despite the loss, San Saba is still playoff-bound and will head to Cisco (7-2, 3-1), which downed Goldthwaite (4-5, 2-2) by a 46-13 count Friday night, looking to improve on its fourth-place positioning in the regular season finale.

Cisco 46, Goldthwaite 13

GOLDTHWAITE – The Goldthwaite Eagles were unable to hand the Cisco Loboes a second consecutive District 4-2A Division I loss as they dropped a 46-13 decision in Friday’s home finale.

Goldthwaite (4-5, 2-2) fell behind Cisco (7-2, 3-1) by a 12-0 count after one quarter, was down 26-13 at halftime and faced a 39-13 deficit after three stanzas.

The Eagles finished with 290 total yards – 203 rushing and 87 passing – with three turnovers, while allowing 391 yards – 307 on the ground and 84 through the air – with no takeaways.

For Goldthwaite, Jackson Patrick rushed for a team-high 108 yards and a touchdown and passed for 87 yards and another score. Luke Sanderson caught two passes for 28 yards and scored once while adding 21 yards rushing. Cason Guthrie also hauled in two receptions for a team-best 58 yards, while Seth Gardner contributed 49 yards in the rush game.

Defensively for the Eagles, Patrick led the way with seven tackles followed by Gardner and Mason Reven with five apiece.

Cisco quarterback Hunter Long rushed for 182 yards and five touchdowns to pace the Loboes.

Next week, Goldthwaite visits De Leon (0-9, 0-4), which is coming off a 55-21 loss to Winters (2-6, 1-3). With a win, the Eagles would lock up the third playoff seed from District 4-2A Division I barring a San Saba upset of Cisco, which would then lead to a three-way tie for second place.
