Week 7 Football: LBJ 19, Martin 0
The LBJ Wolves spent their Saturday making history.
Playing in front of a homecoming crowd, the Wolves defeated the Martin Tigers 19-0 at the SAC.
The dominant victory, which was the fourth win of the season for LBJ, officially made this year’s team the winningest squad in the school's young history.
The ingredients in the Wolves’ victory were all the usual suspects in a successful Villaseñor-coached team: a strong running game and a superb defense.
LBJ's (3-3 District 29-5A, 4-3 overall) experienced defense, which is among the best in the district, forced a pair of turnovers from the Martin Tigers (1-5, 1-6) and made stops when they needed them to keep their opponent off the board.
The Wolves didn’t entirely look like their early season I-formation selves either. LBJ made a few adjustments to the offense and increasingly ran the ball toward the edges of the field out of a shotgun formation that successfully amassed 228 yards of team offense.
LBJ was led by Ricky Flores, who racked up 143 yards and two scores on 18 carries, including an early 56-yard touchdown run.
Flores' frequent partner in the backfield, Vaca, also performed well, contributing 31 yards on nine carries, including a 13-yard score on a direct snap.
Martin’s offense performed better than the score indicates as it twice reached the LBJ red zone to come up empty-handed both times.
The Tigers attempted just a handful of passes and completed only one for a short five yards; it was the only complete pass by either team in the entire game.
The majority of the game was spent pounding it out on the ground where seven players received touches.
Martin’s Mario Treviño led his team in rushing with 79 yards on 16 carries and running back Salvador Farias was second among the team’s many running backs with eight carries for 50 yards.

10.15.10: Volleyball: Martin 3, LBJ 1
The Martin Lady Tigers have been taking small steps in the right direction as they have three games left in their season.
After dropping the first round game to Lyndon B. Johnson, the Lady Tigers exacted revenge by beating the Lady Wolves at LBJ, 25-23, 16-25, 27-25 and 26-24, to split the season series on Friday night.
Martin (2-13 29-5A, 12-18) utilized a combination of perseverance and will power to come from behind in all three games to pull out a victory.
In the opening game, Martin rolled off three straight points to take it after falling behind 23-22.
LBJ (3-12, 6-22), behind the dynamic arm of Lety Reyes, who recorded 21 kills for the game, pulled the Lady Wolves out of despair with a great performance in the second game.
Reyes had nine kills to give LBJ a 25-16 victory and even the series.
Martin, however, turned up the heat and never wavered, even when it fell behind in Games 3 and 4.
Martin's defense was the key to the Lady Tigers victory as they turned back the Lady Wolves offensive attack that was paced by Reyes' 21 kills and Lizzette Martinez's 11 kills.
Michelle Perez and Analee Chavarria led the Lady Tiger defense, which combined for 34 digs in the back row.
The Lady Tigers, who were on the brink of losing Game 3 when LBJ held a 24-20 lead, dug deep down inside and turned up the defense to spark the offense, which rolled off five straight points to go up 25-24 before finishing the game at 27-25.
The Lady Tigers sprinkled that defensive magic again as they came back from a 17-9 deficit to even the fourth game at 20 apiece and work toward a 26-24 victory.
