Week 11 Winner: Tyrone Owens
All at once,
Tyrone Owens was gone. And so was his
Manor (Texas) football team.
Held
scoreless the first half, Owens busted off touchdown runs of 88 and 51
yards, leading Manor to a 20-17 comeback win over Connally on Friday
night.

Owens
finished with a career-high 254 rushing yards on 21 carries, but he
didn't hit pay dirt until he broke off his 88-yarder on the final play
of the third quarter.
His 51-yarder with 3:53 left, proved to the be game winner.
For his efforts, Owens was selected as the Austin area Capital One Bank High Yield Student Athlete of the Week.
The
5-foot-10, 195-pound junior continued his late-season assault on
Central Texas competition with his fourth straight 100-yard-plus
contest.
He now has 1,181 yards on just 113 carriers (10.5 yards
per carry) and 13 touchdowns. He's also done a superb job catching the
ball with 21 catches for 243 yards and three scores.
Since a midseason slump, Owens has rushed 823 yards in the last combined four games (205.7).
He had 194 yards and two scores versus Cedar Creek.
Owens added 146 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-7 win over Hutto.
And the week before Friday against Pflugerville, Owens picked up up 229 yards and a score in a 20-17 victory last week.
