Fang eighth graders win district

Navasota’s eighth-grade Fangs A team earned an undefeated district championship with a 30-12 win over La Grange.

Navasota (8-0) had a big kickoff return from Derrick Booker, who scampered 73 yards for the Fangs first score.

The Fangs used great blocking from linemen, Jose Garcia and Latravious Blackshear, to pull out the win.

Caysian Douglass hauled in a 32-yard pass from Jayden Spriggs. Spriggs also had two touchdown runs of 13 and 3 yards. “Multiple receivers had key completions when the team needed them,” said Fang Coach Brandon Ganske.

The defense forced two interceptions. Jaydon Thomas, and Khriztian Perez each had an interception. Other defensive leaders include Isaiah Silcox, Angel Delarosa and Zachary Pratho.

8th Grade B Team

The Fangs eighth-grade B team finished the season with a 19-7 win over La Grange.

Michael Henson scored two rushing touchdowns, 43 and 45 yards. Devvon Miles had a 3-yard touchdown reception.

“We had great linemen blocking on our outside runs that led to some big plays,” said Ganske. “Edwin Vasquez had great snaps and blocks at the center position.”

Ganske said the defense was led by great defensive- line play by Ruben Avila. Linebacker Edgar Jimenez had a great night and Harrison Smith had great plays in the secondary.
