Tribe Consolidated climbs in the polls

Bastrop Tribe Consolidated shut out Austin Achieve 46-0 in on the road Friday. ​ After the win, the Warriors (2-1) moved up seven spots to No. 15 among the 263 six-man teams in Texas in the sixmanfootball.com poll. They remain No. 2 in the Texas Association of Independent Athletic Organizations (TAIAO) poll. ​ “I think being a top 20 team means we are going to get everyone’s best game from here on out,” Tribe Consolidated coach Brent Golemon said. ​ The contest ended in third quarter because of the 45-point mercy rule. The Warriors did not attempt the extra point on their final touchdown because they had surpassed 45 points. Tribe Consolidated grabbed a 24-0 lead after the first quarter. Esteban Lozano scored on a 15-yard run, and Graham Mills caught passes of 11- and 24-yards for touchdowns from quarterback Samuel Osborn. ​ Mills, a 6-foot-5 junior, has caught 10 passes — six for touchdowns — in three games this season “Graham Mills showed again why he is a matchup nightmare,” Brent Golemon said. Grant Golemon took over at quarterback in the second quarter and threw touchdown passes of 12 yards to Cameron Galipp and 6 yards to Malachi Gonzales. Lozano scored his second rushing touchdown from 2 yards in the third quarter. He led the Warriors with 138 yards on 11 carries. Tribe Consolidated limited the Polar Bears (0-2) to 79 total yards. Grant Golemon had 11 tackles, six for losses. ″(We) played most of the game on the Polar Bears side of the field,” Brent Golemon said. ​ The Warriors play host to Plano CHANT (1-1) on Friday.
