Caleb Washington returned a Georgetown pass 53 yards for a touchdown as the McNeil Mavericks brought their hard-hitting defense and played a strong first half. But untimely breakdowns allowed Georgetown (2-0) to escape Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex with a 36-13 win over the Mavericks.

Mavericks defensive specialist Tillman Johnson was a force the entire game, drawing a double team yet managing to be part of 12 tackles in the contest.

He is a pretty powerful kid to be able to play both inside and outside gaps. He can also bullrush (most HS kids can't) at least use the move and make a play. I am impressed and I think he will be a Special Teams playmaker/pass rushing specialist next year.

So we raided Southwest Texas State again. Looks like a good prospect down the road but this team needs some serious impact line play right away.

If we are relying on incoming freshmen over players like Lincoln, Orr, Polk, Mason, Wallace, etc... then we are in trouble. Now, to be part of the rotation or to provide depth, then okay. I would also hope players like Watson, Haboul, Dilonga, etc.., that have been in the program will step up this next year to allow these youngsters to develop. I only want freshmen stepping in and being a force their first year on campus because they are immensely talented.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Regardless of what happens tomorrow.....we need to win 2 of 3 in Charlotte....right? As to backup catcher Moffitt......in our last game at Memphis....she tripped over first base....and fell on her wrist. I'm guessing it's a sprained wrist. As to backup catcher....I don't think we have one. But they used Olguin to warm up people in the bullpen. And remember on Kalei....she had to catch 16 innings last night.....and today's game was early. So might just be gassed. Go Mean Green!!!

      I missed the first inning but good to see Childers back in and getting some momentum. She retired the first eight batters she faced, striking out five or six but then unfortunately walked the bases loaded with two outs. After a wild pitch scored one, #29 for the Shockers hit her 18th homer of the year to put WSU up 4-0 on only 1 hit. The same freshman pitcher for the Shockers that was perfect through 4.2 last night started today and had a no-hitter through 4.2 again. Unfortunately this time she did not break. Wagoner had the last four innings and pitched well until WSU got some insurance runs off of her in the 7th. I hope Childers can get back in a rhythm. Gonna be tough to go to Charlotte with 1st place still on the line with only two reliable pitchers. Another thing I noticed this weekend was that Kalei seems to be a little slow going after those wild pitches. Obviously the first run of the day scored on that. We didn't even get a throwback to contest. I wonder if she's hurt. Backup catcher Moffitt was in a sling this weekend, I wonder what happened to her. I don't know if we have a third catcher on staff. Charlotte and FAU both won today, so they're 17-6 and we're 17-7. Would be nice if USF and UAB did us a favor and won tomorrow so we'd be tied for first heading into the final weekend. Seems UAB wins when we need them to lose, and vice versa. I just want a top two seed so we only have to win two games to take the conference title. I'm really tempted to go ahead and request Friday the 10th off so I can head up to Wichita.

      Any free agent signings?

      Gabriel Murphy to Vikings & Grayson Murphy to Dolphins. Noah Rauschenberg got an invite to Chiefs rookie camp.

      UNT has got to get guys drafted. 2 in the last 20 years despite having 5 different head coaching regimes during that time period isn't good for a D1 Texas school.

      Any free agent signings?

      Our kicker perhaps? Saw that Jason Bean was heading to Indianapolis and made me wonder if we will see anyone in an NFL camp this year.
