Alto rolls past Garrison 26-7 to move to 4-0

• Progress staff reports

GARRISON — Alto and Garrison have treated East Texans to quite a few competitive football games through the years, but on Friday night at Bulldog Stadium it was all Yellowjackets.

Alto improved to 4-0 by bullying Garrison 26-7. The Mean Sting defense held the Bulldogs (1-2) to just three first downs in the game.

The Bulldog score came on a short-field possession that was the result of a Yellowjacket turnover.

Alto led 19-7 at halftime, with both defenses dominating in the second half.

Alto will be back on the road next week, when a journey to Corrigan-Camden is on tap. Corrigan-Camden (3-1) lost its first game of the season on Friday, when Joaquinprevailed, 16-14.

'Jacket Todd Duplichain earns Defensive Player of the Week laud

• By Jay Neal [email protected]

ALTO — The Alto Yellowjacket defense seems to be getting better and better each week. On Friday Alto moved to 4-0 by spanking Garrison's Bulldogs 26-7 at Bulldog Stadium.

Alto held Garrison (1-2) to minus 29 yards on the ground and only 12 yards passing. Not a bad nights work for the Yellowjacket “D”.

Todd Duplichain has been named as the Jacksonville Progress Defensive Player of the Week for his top shelf performance in the Garrison game. Duplichain practically lived in the Bulldog backfield it seemed. He had 8 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 6 sacks and a fumble caused.

The official Alto team stats revealed that the Mean Sting defenders amassed 25 tackles for loss and 14 quarterback sacks in the Jackets' latest victory.

Alto travels to Corrigan-Camden in the final pre-district game Friday at 7:30 p.m.

TYLER, Texas (KTRE) - It has been almost four years since Cam’ron Matthews died following a football injury and he is still inspiring people for the gift he gave.

Matthews was one of the many honorees of the Lone Star Circle of Life Bike Tour. In the coming days the Bike Tour will make its way to Corpus Christi. The event is used to raise awareness for organ donation. Following his death, Matthews’ organs helped out six different people. Rider Caleb Canal is riding in honor of Cam’ron.

Here is a statement from the Matthews family:

The Lone Star Circle of Life Bike Tour kicked off today at the Tyler Christian Fellowship Church in Tyler Texas. Each of the riders honored a donor or a recipient and Cam’ron Matthews, my brother, my hero was chosen this year. We were honored to have the opportunity to meet the rider, Caleb Canal and hear his story and to also share Cam’s story and legacy of being a life saving hero. The riders will be traveling to Corpus Christi in honor of other honorees.

Alto’s Todd Duplichain’s defensive performance earns him ASB Player of the Week honors

By Caleb Beames | September 25, 2019 at 10:20 PM CDT - Updated September 25 at 10:51 PM

ALTO, Texas (KTRE) - Alto football is full of tradition. It is what draws young elementary students to the stadium on Friday night hoping to be the next big name in a Yellowjacket uniform.

Senior Defensive Tackle Todd Duplichain was once one of those young kids and now straps up every week for Alto. This past week Duplichain and the Alto defense held the Garrison offense to just 1 yard of total offense in the 26-7 victory. Duplichain racked up 6 sacks, 8 tackles with 7 being solo tackles and then one forced fumble. The performance brought home American State Bank player of the Week honors for the senior.

“Ever since my 7th grade year, I came out here with my hair on fire ready to go every single day,” Duplichain said. Head Coach Ricky Meeks relies on the senior as a leader on and off the field. Duplichain is a person that understands what Alto football means to the community. “He grew up in the bleachers and the stands, being around the program his whole life,” Meeks said. " This is what he has been waiting on." While Duplichain gained recognition for his play on the field, he is the first to point out there are 10 other players on the field with him. “It is not because of me, my defensive backs on the back end give me a couple of extra seconds and that is all I need to get to the quarterback."

His influence extends beyond the football field. After the Spring tornadoes Duplichain and his teammates were out at homes trying to help people clear debris. “It is not just on the field,” Meeks said. “In the class room, in the field house, in the community; it doesn’t matter, he is a really good leader for our program.”
