IMPRESSIVE OPENING
Longhorns never trail in season opener, cruise past Merkel, 48-22
BY DERRICK STUCKLY
BROWNWOOD BULLETIN

EARLY — The Early Longhorns tallied the first eight points
of the game and yielded just two points in the opening
quarter en route to a 48-22 victory over the Merkel Badgers
in Tuesday night’s season opener for both teams.
“Considering we only had two practices, and only one
with everybody there, I’m pretty proud,” said Longhorns
head coach Nadir Dalleh. “Any win is a good win, especially
by 26 points. We had some positive things and some nega-
tive things, but with just two practices you have to be proud
of them.”
Early, which is coming off its first postseason appearance
since 2006, led 14-2 after one quarter, 27-13 at halftime and
36-19 heading into the fourth period.
“We’re doing a little bit different this year,” Dalleh said in
reference to the team’s defensive philosophy. “We working
on a lot of man to man defense. We’re going to play a lot of
man this year. I think we have the quickness to do it, and
we’re a lot tougher than we were.”
In Tuesday’s opener, Chase Riker led the Longhorns with
14 points trailed by Bubba Reno with 13, Josh Benson and
Jakob Morgan with seven apiece, Chris Johnston with six
points and Jonathan Moore with one point.
Merkel received five points from Jaiton Hayes and four
each from Jordan Hadley and Cannon Gray.
Riker opened the game with a three-point bucket 20
seconds in, and Benson added three free throws after he
was fouled beyond the arc at the 5:56 mark of the opening
period. Benson scored again at 4:03 before Merkel recorded
its only points of the initial stanza on a deuce from Hadley
at the 3:11 juncture.
Early maintained a comfortable advantage in the second
period with Merkel getting no closer than nine points and
trailing by as much as 16 points, 27-11, following a pair of
Riker free throws with 1:03 left before intermission.
After the break, the Longhorns quickly extended their
lead to 18 points, 31-13, on a bucket from Reno, and Merkel
never threatened.
“We talked about what we did last year and how we
started fast every now and then,” Dalleh said. “We want to
start fast every game this year. We also wanted to come out
of halftime with a lead and then have a chance to extend
DERRICK STUCKLY | BROWNWOOD BULLETIN that lead, and we did.”

Merkel edges Early, 54-50,
in Lady Homs’ home debut
BY DERRICK STUCKLY
BROWNWOOD BULLETIN

EARLY — In a back and
forth encounter, it was a slow
start that prevented the Early
Lady Homs from notching
their first victory of the
season in Tuesday’s home
opener.
Early slipped to 0-2 on the
young season with a 54-50
loss to the Merkel Lady Bad-
gers, a game in which Lady
Homs head coach Kristi San-
doval pointed to turnovers as
the deciding factor.
“Tonight the difference was
we had way too many turn-
overs, especially in the first
quarter,” Sandoval said. “We
had six or seven turnovers in
a row there in the first quar-
ter. Turnovers lost the game
for us.”
Emily Harris and Andee
Jo Rose both finished with
13 points to pace the Lady
Homs offense, followed by
eight from Samantha Garrett,
six from Janae Williams, four
from Aspen Escamilla, three
from Aly Wiggins, two from
Kassidy Allen and one point
from K.J. Elkins.
Leading the charge for
Merkel with 17 points was
Carley Stone, followed by
Kylie Fenwick with 14 points.
Despite the outcome,
Sandoval observed areas
of improvement from last
week’s season-opening 58-36
loss at Brownwood.
“The third quarter we came
out and played as a team,”
Sandoval said. “That’s some-
thing we’ve really struggled
with in the past — gelling to-
gether and finding our team
chemistry.
“The defense also really
stepped. We had two five-
second calls at the end.”
The Lady Homs led 40-38
with 2:47 left in the third
period, but Merkel went on a
10-2 run to open a 48-42 ad-
vantage with 5:37 left, which
proved to large for Early to
overcome.
Early will be back in action
at 11 a.m. Saturday at Strawn.
