Another CISD coach charged with improper relationshipsCOLUMBUS — Jake Koehl,
who was employed with the Co-lumbus Independent School Dis-trict as a teacher/coach, resignedhis position on April 9 after beingindicted by the Colorado Countygrand jury on two counts of im-proper relationship between aneducator and student and onecount of tampering with physicalevidence.
CISD officials reportedly con-tacted Columbus Police ChiefW.E. “Bill” Lattimore on Feb. 20in regard to an allegation of pos-sible inappropriate conduct be-tween at 12th-grade teacher/coachand student body members.
“It was determined that CISDwould continue to investigate theallegations and respond accord-ingly from an administrativestandpoint,” said Lattimore. “At

Homecoming festivities …
the same time, Det. Wendy Alleybegan a criminal investigation intothe allegations.”
“Mr. Koehl was placed on ad-ministrative leave after the districtreceived the report regarding un-professional conduct with a stu-dent,” said Superintendent EsterChandler.
The district investigated theallegations and reported the sus-pected conduct to the ColumbusPolice Department, as well as tothe Texas Education Agency, andKoehl resigned from all employ-ment with the district on April 9,according to Chandler.
Alley conducted numerous in-terviews, received sworn writtenstatements, obtained cell phonerecords and other informationfrom social media, and turned thesubject matter over to Colorado
County Attorney Jay Johannes.“We requested that Mr.
Johannes present the gatheredfacts to the Colorado Countygrand jury,” said Lattimore.
The grand jury elected to in-dict Koehl, who served as assis-tant coach in football and softball,and he reportedly turned himself
trict, effective that same day.“In light of the recent incidents,
the district plans on conductingadditional training for both staffand students,” said Chandler.
We also appreciate and valueour community and parental sup-port. They are a part of our schoolsand we continue to encourage our
students, staff, parents and com-munity members to report con-cerns to us as they have been.
“Together, we will continue tomake Columbus ISD a strong,safe and positive learning environ-ment,” she said.
It was on Sept. 5 that anotherformer Columbus coach, Kirk

Precinct 4 Justice of the PeaceGeorge Cason set Koehl’s bond at$12,000 — $5,000 on each countof improper relationship betweenan educator and student, and$2,000 for tampering with physi-cal evidence.
Koehl was released that sameday after posting bond, accordingto Capt. Tommy Richter of theColorado County Sheriff’s Office.
Chandler says CISD completesthorough criminal backgroundchecks on all employees as re-quired by law.
“In addition, we contact pastemployers to ensure we hire themost highly qualified candidates,”she said. “Board policy and em-ployee handbook require priorauthorization before an employeemay communicate with studentsthrough electronic means.
“Such communications arelimited to matters within the scopeof the employee’s professionalresponsibilities. Romantic, sexualor otherwise unprofessional com-munications are expressly prohib-ited by board policy and the TexasEducator Code of Ethics.”
When the district receives areport of inappropriate communi-cations, the administration takesimmediate action to investigatethe incident, according to Chan-dler.
“Depending on the nature ofthe alleged communication, theemployee is removed from thecampus pending our investiga-tion,” said Chandler. “All employ-ees receive regular training.”
On Sept. 12, the CISD athletictrainer, Nick Whittemore, 24, wasarrested for improper relationshipbetween an educator and student.Chandler says Whittemore re-signed his position with the dis-

The following “Footprints ofFayette” was submitted by FCHCChair Carolyn Heinsohn.
If you travel to the Woods Prai-
rie Cemetery near West Point,Texas, you will find a Missouri-Kanas-Texas Katy RailroadMonument, which was placedthere by Bobbie Robbins Stevensin 2013 and paid for by hermother, Susan Grace YoungRobbins.
Susan had heard the story ofthe railroad workers all her lifeand had helped her Aunt Molly(Mrs. Charles Young) tend thegraves when she was a child.
It was Charles Young and hisbrother, Zed (Bobbie RobbinsStevens’ grandfather), who gave
the railroad foreman permission tobury the men in the cemetery. Pre-viously, the men that died wereburied in a field next to the rail-road tracks near Kirtley.
Zed Young lived west of WestPoint and owned several plots ofland in the area. Zed had threechildren, two boys (Frank and Alf)and one girl (Susan).
In his younger years, he was aschool teacher. Zed was a tall man,very heavyset in his later years,and always wore a mustache.
Charles Young lived across theroad from Zed on the south sideof Hwy 71. He was a farmer andhe also sold Watkins Products.
He served as Fayette Countycommissioner and donated theland for the roadside park on Hwy71, which was the first roadsidepark in the state of Texas.
Charles had three children, twoboys (Allen and Will) and one girl(Ivy). Ivy married JakeWhitworth, who worked for theKaty Railroad.
Zed had made a deal with therailroad to sell them timber fromhis land. These young white menwere working with Zed Youngcutting timber to make railroadties. They came from differentparts of the country and wereworking their way West.
These young men died of Yel-low Fever in the late 1880s whilelaying track between Kirtley andWest Point and were buried at thesite of the marker.
No individual markers are atthe site, because in the 1880s noburial records were required andmarkers were expensive. It wasn’tuntil 1903 that burial records wererequired by Texas law.
There was research done at thecemetery in 1999 by Norman C.Krischke. He published a bookleton the history of the Woods fam-ily and the Woods Prairie Cem-etery. It can be found at the FayettePublic Library in La Grange.

‘Turn Around Don’t Drown’when it comes to flooding
BELLVILLE — AustinCounty Judge Carolyn Bilskiwants to public to know why“Turn Around Don’t Drown” is soimportant.
More deaths occur each yeardue to flooding than from anyother severe weather related haz-ard.
The Centers for Disease Con-trol has reported that over half ofall flood-related drownings occurwhen a vehicle is driven into haz-ardous flood water. The next high-
est percentage of flood-relateddeaths is due to walking into ornear flood waters.
Why? The main reason ispeople underestimate the forceand power of water, according toBilski.
“Many of the deaths occur inautomobiles as they are sweptdownstream,” she said. “Many ofthese drownings are preventable,but too many people continue todrive around the barriers that warnyou the road is flooded.”

AUSTIN — With less than six weeks until Nov.4’s election day, the first of two scheduled guber-natorial debates was held in the Rio Grande Valleycity of Edinburg on Sept. 19.
Democratic Party nominee for governor WendyDavis, a state senator from Fort Worth, and Re-publican Party gubernatorial nominee Greg Abbott,Texas attorney general, fielded questions fromCarlos Sanchez, editor of The Monitor, a dailynewspaper in McAllen, and Telemundo’s McAllennews anchor Dalila Garza.
Abbott and Davis responded to questions for60 minutes on topics such as border security, eco-nomic development, education and education fund-ing, abortion and visions of the future.
On education, Abbott said, “I want to put ourtrust where it belongs, and that is with our teach-ers, and get all these one-size-fits-all mandates fromAustin, Texas, off the backs of our teachers.”
Davis said she voted against legislation that cut$5.4 billion from the state education budget andthat Abbott has been defending those cuts in courtever since they were passed and those cuts haveled to overcrowded classrooms and teacher lay-offs, and shortchanged school children. Davis saidas governor she would “fight to make sure ourschools have more resources, not less.”
Davis confronted Abbott over a comment hemade in February, in which he seemed to expressa view that law enforcement problems in the RioGrande Valley were like “third-world country prac-tices that erode the social fabric of our communi-ties.”
Abbott said he was in Dallas when he made thecomment, and he was not referring to the RioGrande Valley in particular, but to fighting corrup-tion statewide.
The next gubernatorial debate is set for Sept.30 in Dallas.
Texas Adds Jobs in AugustTexas Workforce Commission on Sept. 19 re-
ported Texas added 20,100 seasonally adjusted to-tal non-farm jobs in August, and over the year,employers have added 395,200 total non-farm jobs.
And while the unemployment rate was 5.3 per-cent in August — up slightly from 5.1 percent inJuly — it remained below the national unemploy-ment rate of 6.1 percent.
Every major industry in Texas showed positiveannual growth, said TWC Commissioner Repre-senting Employers Hope Andrade.
Andres Alcantar, chair of the Texas WorkforceCommission, encouraged Texas veterans to visittheir local Workforce Solutions office “to take ad-vantage of the many tools and services that allow
them to translate their military skills and experi-ence into good-paying civilian jobs.”
Statue Honors Innocent ManGov. Rick Perry was present in Lubbock on
Sept. 17 for the dedication of a statue honoring thelate Timothy Brian Cole, a Texas Tech Universitystudent who was wrongfully convicted of rape anddied in prison in 1999, after 14 years of incarcera-tion.
Perry granted Cole, who always maintained hisinnocence, a posthumous pardon in 2010.
At the ceremony, Perry spoke in honor of Coleand recognized Cole’s late mother, Ruby Cole Ses-sion, who was instrumental in passing legislationthat created the Tim Cole Advisory Panel onWrongful Convictions, allowing families of de-ceased exonerees a process to receive funds fromthe state for their wrongful conviction.
Cole’s case was brought by the Texas InnocenceProject, an organization that fought for DNA test-ing in 2008 that ultimately proved his innocence.
Deposit Sets State RecordThe Texas General Land Office on Sept. 17 re-
ported its deposit of more than $1 billion into thestate’s Permanent School Fund, “crushing all pre-vious records.”
Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said therecord earnings that made such a large deposit pos-sible “are due in large part to hydraulic fracturingtechnologies, which has private companies com-peting to outbid each other for access to Perma-nent School Fund lands that previously were ofmarginal value.”
Now valued in excess of $34 billion, the Per-manent School Fund helps pay for the state’s shareof elementary and secondary public education.
Included in the record-breaking deposit wasmore than $461 million from “savvy investments,”Patterson said. “We’ve had a good run,” addedPatterson, who will leave office when his term ex-pires in January.
Agriculture Chief to Step DownTexas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples
on Sept. 18 announced he would step down as headof the Texas Department of Agriculture “within thenext two months to ensure a smooth transition.”
On the same day, the Austin-based Texas Oil &Gas Association named Staples president of their5,500-member organization. Staples will succeedRob Looney, who is retiring at the end of 2014after 26 years with the association.

Greatest football pain notinjury, but making a mistake
By WILLIS WEBB
Few would dispute the claimthat, in Texas high school sports,football is king.
That’s changed some over theyears, but that head-butting gameis still dominant. Friday nightfrenzy is adequate testimony tothat claim.
I don’t know everything thatruns through players’ minds today,but “don’t fumble,” “don’t miss a
tackle” and“man-up” areprobably inthe top five.
Injury orp h y s i c a lharm neverworried me
when I played. If it had, neither Inor anyone else would be likelyto go out for football, or almostany sport actually. But I did incursome injury.
You’re going to “get your bellrung” on an almost daily basis —where you see stars or get woozyeven if you don’t pass out or areknocked out.
When I blocked or tackledsomeone or was tackled, the of-ten one-point landing was a knee.With me it was the right knee.Today, all the cartilage (padding)is gone in that joint; it’s bone onbone.
Bumps. Bruises. Scratches.Muscle pulls. Soreness. That’s allpart of the game.
As a safety on defense, I hadopportunities to get my hands onthe football by intercepting anopponent’s pass, recovering a
fumble or, in my particular case,returning punts.
Since I was one of the “deepmen” when my team receivedkickoffs, I had to field the ball andreturn it, but it was nothing likefielding a high punt that got lostin the stadium lights.
One night, I fielded a high puntand just as I caught it, an “enemy”player hit me, shoulder first, rightin the stomach. You’ve heard theterm “sucking wind;” that’s whatI was doing, laying on my back,as Coach ran on the field, grabbedmy pants at where a buckle wouldbe and began to lift up and down.
He repeated that process a fewtimes and got me breathing nor-mally. I continued playing (muchto Mom’s horror).
In practice one day, I was in ona gang tackle and in the pile-up,James Morris Wells (6-5, 200)stepped on my left calf with hisaluminum (yep!) cleats. Therewere very visible scars on that calfuntil I was past 40 years old. (Youhear me, James Morris! Yeah, Idon’t forget.)
Making a mistake in that Fri-day night, small town worshipritual is almost a guarantee of be-coming a pariah. The terror of er-ror bothered me more than any-thing and often made me hesitatefor a split second, which, in foot-ball or most sports, is taboo not tomention hazardous to your physi-cal well-being.
As a 150-pound (yeah, really)safety and running back there arescores of significant mistakes youcan make.
The biggest by far, for a back,
is fumbling the football. Thequickest way to get an embarrass-ing injury sitting on the bench issplinters, but real humiliation issaved for a back or receiver tofumble the ball and lose it.
Coach will put your posterioron that wooden bench faster thana ref can blow a whistle. And youcan’t hide. It’s embarassking, asPopeye would say.
As a defensive back, missinga tackle on an opposing playerwho’s caught a pass in your terri-tory is tantamount to being kickedout of church. Excommunicationcould be the sentence if they scorea touchdown on that play.
If the enemy running backbowls you over on his way to aTD, well, like, you know … MANUP!
Don’t commit a penalty on aplay where you’ve forced theother team to give up the football.It gives the enemy new life and ifthey go on and score the winningtouchdown, well, there’s alwaysthe federal witness protection pro-gram. Plus, your momma anddaddy still love you … you justcan’t ever see them again.
Perhaps, I’ve over-exaggeratedto some extent, but you get theidea.
Your coach may forgive you,but the fans will never forget …

LA GRANGE — Alternative country meets therockabilly revival meets California guitar virtuos-ity in the music of Rosie Flores.
If you’re a fan of blazing roots-rock guitar andyou’ve never seen a woman belly up to the band-stand and shred like the big boys do, check outFlores at The Bugle Boy in La Grange Friday at 8p.m.
Gretchen Peters, a two-time Grammy nomineeand Golden Globe nominee will take the stage Sat-urday at 8 p.m.
Since the late ’70s, guitarist, singer andsongwriter Flores has been an important figure onthe alternative country scene in both Austin andLos Angeles.
She’s a hard-working, independently mindedartist who’s well-respected for her gritty, energeticvocals and fiery guitar solos.
“The Rockabilly Philly,” as Flores was dubbedduring her days at the Palomino Club in NorthHollywood, Calif., in the early 1980s, has followedover the years in the footsteps of female guitar idolssuch as Janis Martin and Wanda Jackson, whileblazing a trail all her own.
That trail included a stint in the late ’70s withthe Screamin’ Sirens, recording with both Martinand Jackson at various times, as well as rockabilly
rebel Ray Campi and Texas swing band institu-tion Asleep At The Wheel.
Born in San Antonio in 1950 and currently aresident of Austin, after putting in time over theyears in California and Nashville, Flores has beendispelling misconceptions folks might have aboutthe abilities of women to kick butt on a six-stringfor longer than some famous musicians have beenalive.
Peters made a name for herself composing hitsfor Martina McBride, Etta James, TrishaYearwood, Patty Loveless, George Strait and AnneMurray, as well as for rock singers Neil Diamondand co-writing songs with Bryan Adams.
She also won the Country Music AssociationSong of the Year Award for McBride’s “Indepen-dence Day” in 1995.
The title track of her 1996 debut album, “TheSecret of Life,” was later recorded by Faith Hill in1999, for whom it was a top five country hit. Thetitle of Peters’ new album, “Hello Cruel World,”is a pun on the famed exit line — a joke that, likethe lovely melodies and deliciously textured ar-rangements framing these 11 songs — sweetensthis captivating music spun from a year of turmoil.
Most shows are streamed live online throughonline web casting at thebugleboy.org.

FAYETTEVILLE — The pub-lic is invited to attend the 140thanniversary observation of theFayetteville Brethren ChurchSunday.
The anniversary will be ob-served through worship and a fel-lowship potluck following the ser-vice.
The Fayetteville BrethrenChurch was formally known asthe Czech-Moravian BrethrenChurch, and still to this day isfondly called the CMB church byfriends and neighbors. The origi-nal name was the EvangelicalCzech-Moravian Brethren Churchat Ross Prairie.
Ross Prairie is named afterJames J. Ross, one of Stephen F.Austin’s Old Three Hundred whosettle here in 1828.
The Fayetteville BrethrenChurch is the second oldest con-gregation in the Unity of theBrethren, having organized in1870. Members trace their rootsto the 15th century in Czechoslo-vakia, where a Catholic priestnamed Jan Hus felt that reformswere needed in the church.
But he was considered to be atraitor by the church, tried andconvicted of heresy, and wasburned at the stake on July 6,1415. His followers and support-ers sought to perpetuate his ide-als and teachings and organized amovement known as the UnitasFratrum, or “Jednota Bratrska,” in1457, later to be known as theUnity of the Brethren.
This was 60 years before Mar-tin Luther began his reformation.Therefore, this Protestant denomi-nation can rightly be called a pre-Lutheran-Reformation church.
As early as 1848, the Brethrenwho remained in Bohemia andMoravia began to immigrate to theUnited States, most of them com-ing to Texas by way of Galveston.The Fayetteville Brethren has theunique distinction of having beenthe site of the first Czech-Protes-tant worship services in Texas in1855, conducted in the homes ofthe Czech immigrants who settledin the Ross Prairie area.
The congregation organized in1870 and the church was built in1874 on land that was donated byMr. and Mrs. Thomas KaterinaJecmenek.
The Rev. Henry Juren was thefirst pastor to be ordained in thechurch on April 11, 1876. Havingonly one hymnal, Juren led thecongregation in song by singingone line and the congregation re-peating it until the whole song wassung.
Juren is the longest servingpastor of the church at 45 years(1876-1921), while the RevMilton Maly is the second long-est serving 25 years (1986-2011).The pastor today is the Rev. Kay
Polasek who has served since2011.
In 1903, the Unity of the Breth-ren in Texas was organized. Serv-ing from the church as the firstsecretary on the Executive Com-mittee was Joseph Jecmenek. Allthe worship services held in thischurch were in the Czech lan-guage until the 1940’s. In 1955,the Unity convention voted tomake English the primary lan-guage of the church. Czech ser-vices continued to be held in thechurch until the 1960’s.
The church was remodeled in1924 and 1957. An addition wasadded in 1999 along with gettinga water well and indoor restrooms.Until that time, the restrooms wereoutside in the WPA (WorkProjects Administration) building(circa 1940). In 2007, a new fel-lowship hall was added on. In2010, restoration work began inthe sanctuary and the church wasre-dedicated in 2011.
The land donated by theJecmeneks was not only for achurch, but also for a cemetery, aschool (Osveta) and a parsonage.The school and parsonage wereremoved many years ago.
In 1999, the cemetery was des-ignated as an Official HistoricalTexas Cemetery. The oldestmarked grave is from Nov 18,1875. It is believed that before1875, people were buried in theRoss Prairie Lutheran Cemeteryabout one mile west of the Breth-ren cemetery.
Both are called “the Ross Prai-rie cemetery,” so there is someconfusion at times.
The church has three historicalmarkers. One commemorates theFirst Czech Protestant Preachingin Texas in 1855 that was held inthe homes of the Czech MoravianBrethren settlers. Another recog-nizes the life of the Rev. Jindrich(Henry) Juren who is the only rev-erend buried in the church cem-etery. There also is one that rec-ognizes the church cemetery as anOfficial Historical Texas Cem-etery.
Today, over 160 years after thefirst Brethren settlers began wor-shipping here, the congregationcontinues to develop and is in-volved in many church activities,as well as community work. En-trusted with the sharing of theGospel of Jesus Christ and themaintenance of His body — theChurch, the Brethren joyfully co-operate with all Christian denomi-nations in those efforts, in thespirit of the motto of the Unity ofthe Brethren: “In essentials, unity;in non-essentials, liberty; and inall things, love.”

Please DoNot Litter

Don’t Mess with Texas notes an estimated 500 million pieces oflitter accumulate every year along state-maintained highways and re-search shows approximately one-third of Texans particularly betweenthe ages of 16 and 34 admit to the offense.
Among the most common litter found during roadside cleanupsare fast-food packaging, cigarette butts, candy wrappers and plasticbags.
Any other form of litter on the highway can lead to a fine as highas $500 for the first offense. Multiple offenses can result in the pen-alty going up to a $2,000 fine and 180 days in jail.

BELLVILLE — Susan Breweretched her name in the nationalspotlight last Friday at BrahmaGym in Bellville when herBrahmanettes defeated AustinCounty rival Sealy in four sets topresent their coach with her 900thcareer volleyball win.
Bellville defeated the Lady Ti-gers 25-15, 25-15, 24-26, 25-12.
The Brahmanettes, who failedin their first attempt to record No.900 for Brewer when Columbusdefeated Bellville in straight sets
on Sept. 16 in Bellville. The LadyCardinals rolled to a 25-14, 25-15,25-18 victory.
Brewer, who revived theBellville volleyball program whenshe was hired prior to the 1977season, is in her 38th year as theBrahmanettes coach.
She entered the season with a876-400 career record and nowstands 900-409 after the win overthe Lady Tigers. Bellville is now24-9 on the season.
Ironically, Brewer’s 700 and
800 career wins also came overSealy.
“It’s great to get this behind us.I think we might have got caughtup in the hype (against Colum-bus), but Columbus really playedwell,” said Brewer.
“To win 900 (matches), youhave had to have coached someoutstanding student/athletes andI’ve been fortunate to have had myshare of them at Bellville.”
The Brahmanettes won theirfirst district championship underBrewer in 1982. Bellville eitherwon or shared 20 straight titlesbefore Columbus ended the run in2002.
Bellville also won 96 straightdistrict matches from 1982-94before the Lady Cardinals stoppedthe streak and then won another46 straight from 1995-98 untilColumbus once again was the cul-prit to end it.
The Brahmanettes have made15 state-tournament appearancesunder Brewer, which is tied forsixth all-time and won nine cham-pionships, tying Bellville for thirdwith Amarillo, Monahans andPlains, and behind East Bernardand Windthorst with 13 each.
Bellville won six in eight yearsin the 1990s.
The Brahmanettes also has fin-ished as the state runner-up onfour other occasions. TheBrahmanettes were a state final-ist a year ago when Bellvilleposted a 41-8 record — the mostwins in a season in school history.
Brewer was a 2010 inducteeinto the Bellville Athletic BoosterClub Hall of Honor.
In the milestone victory overthe Lady Tigers (20-5), MadisonHolle and Keeton Holcomb ig-nited the offense with 28 and 17assists, respectively, and AshleighTraylor slammed 27 kills. ReillyKuenstler also had 11 kills.
The Brahmanettes also had asolid defensive effort as SarahBraun had 31 digs followed byTraylor with 23, Holcomb with20, Holle with 13 and BritaniSchulz with 10.
Courtney Rabius had 14 killsand 11 digs for Sealy whileLauren Thielemann recorded 13digs and 12 kills. Mariah Holubalso contributed 16 digs for theLady Tigers.
Columbus, who also defeatedLa Grange in four sets last weekto improve to 26-8, dominated the
Brahmanettes at the net behindCheyenne Huskey’s 22 kills andHali Wisnoskie’s 16.
Emily Magness provided 14assists followed by Sara McNutt’s10 and Huskey’s nine.
“That was, by far, the best wehave played all season. If we cancontinue to play like that, we’ll betough to beat. We just don’t playlike that all of the time,” said LadyCardinals coach Rhonda
Bloodworth.Bellville never got it going
against Columbus. Holle finishedwith 20 assists, Traylor notched 11kills and Holcomb recorded 12digs.
Graves provides sparkin defensive struggle
By CHAD FERGUSONBanner Press Editor
SEALY — In a game con-trolled by the defense, Bellvillejunior running back DéEddrickGraves provided the offensivespark to ignite the Brahmas to a16-2 victory over Austin Countyrival Sealy last Friday night at Ti-ger Stadium in Sealy.
Graves carried just six timesfor 192 yards, but scored thegame’s only two touchdowns onruns of 81 and 74 yards.
“He (Graves) is a playmakerand he provided the spark weneeded on offense,” said Brahmascoach Grady Rowe.
And the defense made it standup in limiting the Tigers (1-3) to208 total yards. Sealy’s onlypoints came on a third-quartersafety when the ball was snappedover punter Brady Zapalac’s headinto the end zone.
The Brahmas (3-1) pressuredSealy quarterback Holten Einkauffrom the opening kickoff. Einkaufwas limited to 162 yards throughthe air as he completed just 16 ofhis 39 attempts with two intercep-tions. He was sacked four timesfor 21 yards in losses.
“Our defense played well andwe were able to control their quar-terback. We pressured him andforced him to run around,” saidRowe.
Sealy’s defense also playedwell for the most part … exceptfor two crucial plays — Graves’long-distance sprints to the endzone.
“We played decent defense attimes, but just had a couple ofbreakdowns that ended up costingus,” said Sealy coach JasonHolcomb.
“Our defense has played unbe-lievable the last three weeks. Wejust haven’t been able to move thefootball and sustain any drives.
That’s been our Achilles’ heel.”The Tigers have been
outscored 47-29 over the last threegames — all losses.
The Brahmas scored enoughpoints to win on Easton Higgins’29-yard field goal with 25 secondsto go in the first quarter.
And then Graves sprinted 81yards on the Brahmas’ next pos-session with 7:04 left in the half.
He added his 74-yard TD runon Bellville’s first snap of the sec-ond half at the 9:06 mark.
