Conroe had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They claimed a resounding 34-7 win over the Alief Elsik Rams. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Tigers' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 212th, while the Rams are ranked 646th).
One reason for the win was Conroe's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Azi Quintanilla, Denzel Haynes, and Jacob Baker, who each picked up one sack apiece. Conroe received some extra help from Casey Stout, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Conroe will host Alief Hastings at 7:00 p.m. on September 5. As for Alief Elsik, they will welcome Randle at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
