StingEmALTO Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Prep Football Preview: Troup to test Jackets in Alto By Jay Neal [email protected] Aug 25, 2020 TROUP TIGERS (0-0) at ALTO YELLOWJACKETS (0-0) 7:30 p.m. Friday at Cam'ron Matthews Field at Yellowjacket Stadium Last Week: This is the season opener for both clubs. Next Week: Carlisle at Troup; Timpson at Alto Game Analysis: Troup is 15-14-4 against the Mean Sting in the all-time series. The two clubs last faced each other in 2015 with Alto cruising to a 30-7 win. Alto has won four of the last five games versus the Maroons dating back to 2001... In the last five games these two have played against each other, the winning team has won by an average of 28 points … Troup has nine starters back, with six of those defenders. Alto lost a ton to graduation and bring backs only four starters, but despite that fact head coach Ricky Meeks' guys are ranked No. 14 in Texas Football's preseason Class 2A-I poll … Cam'ron Matthews Field is a natural grass playing surface and if the area receives a lot of rain from the left overs of Hurricane Laura, look for the off track to favor an already stout Alto running game … Alto's speed and athleticism should be of concern for the Tigers … Alto has the edge in this game, but anything can happen. In 2017, Alto lost at home to Winona, 35-34 and the following year Troup shocked Tenaha, 42-39 on opening night. https://www.jacksonvilleprogress.com/sports/prep-football-previews-troup-to-test-jackets-in-alto/article_510384b6-e63e-11ea-80ce-e399ae1bbcaf.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwarmingOnEm Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Problems for us at the line of scrimmage. 1 TD for Troup on great coverage but a missed timed jump on a deep ball. The other Troup TD was earned. Gotta get off the field on 3rd down. Gotta find a way to give the back a hole to hit. Got work to do and I’m sure the locker room is not a place to be right now. Will see what happens 2nd half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some talent, kids just need to execute what our staff expects. All the way around. It’s the 0 that hurts. We were very close to scoring on more than one occasion and we would shoot ourselves. We will get better. How did yall’s game go? I haven’t looked? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingEmALTO Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Troup and QB Padia pound Alto 27-0 By Jay Neal [email protected] 8 hrs ago ALTO — Trevor Padia made his varsity debut at quarterback for Troup on Friday night and he proved that he is up for the challenge by guiding the Tigers to a 27-0 shutout victory over Alto. The contest was played on a muggy night at Cam'Ron Matthews Field at Yellowjacket Stadium, and was the season opener for both teams. Padia, a junior, accounted for 290 of Troup's 350 total yards. He went 8-13-1 for 199 yards through the air, and hurled two touchdown passes and rushed for 91 yards on 14 carries and added a rushing touchdown to his night's work. The Tiger defense pitched the shutout by controlling the line of scrimmage and holding the Yellowjackets to 70 yards rushing in 29 carries for the game. Chris Calley had a fumble recovery for the Tigers, who host Carlisle (0-1) next Friday night, and KD Thomas, Brayden Vess and Charles Boyd came up with interceptions. Troup scored its first touchdown at the 2:32 mark of the first quarter when Padia connected with Bracey Cover for a 46-yard touchdown. Following a successful PAT by Grant Baber, the Tigers led 7-0. Padia zig-zagged through the Alto defense to score from 12 yards out with 7:59 left in the first half to double the Tigers' lead after Baber drilled the PAT. Troup went on to take the 14-0 lead into the dressing room at the break. The Tigers sealed the deal on the second play from scrimmage in the final half when Padia dialed up Cover for a 54-yard touchdown with 11:15 to play in the third stanza. The PAT was no good; hence a 20-0 lead for the Tigers. On the Yellowjackets ensuing possession, Alto managed to drive all the way down to the Tiger 17-yard line before Thomas picked off Alto quarterback Will Dixon, ending the Mean Sting march. The final score of the game came with 5:36 to go. That's when Padia capped off a 5 play, 33-yard drive by jetting in from 6 yards out on a quarterback draw. Baber's kick was on the money, giving the Tigers a 27-0 lead at that point. Vi'Darious led Alto in rushing by carrying 12 times for 39 yards. Jay Pope had 5 catches for 80 yards and had one carry for 22 yards. Jesus Tellez and Jer'Darius Bolton recovered fumbles for the home team. With just four starters back from a year ago, Alto will take the experience gained in the Troup game and look for a different result next Friday when the Yellowjackets do battle with Timpson (1-0), who scored 68 points in a win over Frankston on Friday. Alto will be celebrating Homecoming 2020 next week as well. https://www.jacksonvilleprogress.com/sports/troup-and-qb-padia-pound-alto-27-0/article_ec73188e-e9b9-11ea-b025-3fbff318c989.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
