Panthers go up top to thrash Uvalde
Olvera-to-Ogden
accounts for
300+ yards, 3 TDs
By Roland Ruiz
Anvil Herald Correspondent
Medina Valley saved its
best for last.
In the finale to the 2013
regular season, the Panthers
played their most complete
game of the year, racking
up nearly 500 yards of total
offense while again playing
suffocating defense en route
to a 37-14 rout of Uvalde at
Panther Stadium.
With the win, MV finishes
the season at 7-3, and 5-2 in
District 29-AAAA. The Pan-
thers now face Calallen in
the first round of the UIL
Class 4A, Division 2 playoffs.
Game time is 7:30 p.m.
this Friday in Sinton.
Uvalde scored on the
game’s first series and its last.
In between, MV dominated.
The Panthers responded
to the Coyotes’ first scoring
drive with 37 unanswered
points until an inconsequen-
tial Uvalde touchdown in the
waning moments of the game.
“I was real proud of our team,”
said MV head coach Steve Hale.
“I thought we played our best
game of the year.
“The offense was explosive
with many big plays,” the
coach said. “And the defense

continued their dominance.”
Leading MV’s offensive
onslaught was the dynamic
duo of quarterback David
Olvera and receiver Devin
Ogden. The two connected
for a record-setting perfor-
mance as Ogden finished
the night with over 300
yards receiving yards.
“Devin Ogden had a mon-
ster game with 14 receptions
and 327 yards (a Greater San
Antonio city record) and
three TDs,” Hale said. “David
Olvera played his best game
with 375 yards passing.”
MV’s first score, in fact,
came on an Ogden catch
and run for 65 yards to the
endzone. lonathan Groff
converted the point after try
to knot the score at 7-7 at the
9:00 mark of the first quarter.
The Panthers next score
came on a 73-yard, 15-play
march capped by a Brad
Griggs one-yard plunge. An-
other Groff PAT gave MV the
14-7 lead with 11:33 left in
the second period.
Uvalde stopped MV on its
next possession, but Zach
Sinor launched a punt that
was downed at the Coyote
1-yard line. With Uvalde
pinned against its own goal-
line, defensive end Chris
Lara sacked the quarterback
in the endzone on third
down for a safety.
Up 16-7, the Panthers then
took advantage of field posi-
tion and drove 47 yards in
six plays to another touch-
down. This time Griggs ran
it in from four yards out for
his second touchdown of
the night. Groff tacked on
the extra point and the MV
lead grew to 23-7.
With just over three min-
utes left in the half, MV then
surprised Uvalde with an on-
side kick that David Torres re-
covered at the Uvalde 32. Two
plays later, Olvera and Ogden
hooked up again for a 32-yard
touchdown. Another Groff
PAT made the lead 30-7 as the
teams went to halftime.
“We took what they gave
us offensively and capital-
ized on good field position
created by our defense,”
Hale said. “The safety, TD,
onside kick and TD in the
second quarter broke the
game open and allowed us
to put them away early.”
In the second half, MV
moved into scoring position
again on its first series, but
missed on a 25-yard field
goal try.
On their next possession,
the Panthers aerial attack
struck again. This time Ol-
vera hit Ogden on a 51-yard
catch and dash for six points.
Groff’s extra point extended
the lead to 37-7 midway
through the third quarter.
MV marched into the red
zone on its next possession,
but turned the ball over on a
botched field goal attempt.

New look, new coach has MVpumped for hoops
By Heath Clary
Special to the Anvil Herald
When the Texas Association
of Basketball Coaches released
its preseason playoff picks for
the upcoming boys basketball
season, Medina Valley was left
out of the field despite finish-
ing third last year.
“We were not picked in the
preseason to make the play-
offs, but that doesn’t mean
anything,” said first year
coach Dustin Baumann.
The 29-year old Baumann
came to Medina Valley with
new Athletic Director Steve
Hale, and will be overseeing
a varsity squad for the first
time in his career.
This will be his seventh
year on the sidelines, his
most recent stops being Hut-
to last year and Lampasas for
four years prior to that.
At those places, he was the
junior varsity coach. Now he is
the head man, and he is look-
ing to rebuild a Medina Valley
program that has had its up
and downs the past decade.
“They have had some suc-
cess here, but nothing major. I
am going to try to take it to the
next level,” Baumann said.
Not only is he attempt-
ing to transform the culture
of the program, he is also
changing how the Panthers
will play.
“Last year they ran a read-
and-react offense with a lot
of penetration. I am install-
ing a system based offense.
We want to be opportunistic
but also strategic.”
By being ‘opportunistic’,
they are going to force the
issue on defense, being ag-
gressive and forcing steals.
‘Strategic’ means they won’t
be out of control. Baumann
would like his team to score
consistently on fast breaks
and easy layups, but if it’s not
there, they have the ability to
set up the offense.
But just because he is
implementing a brand new
offense doesn’t mean he
doesn’t want the players to
play to their strengths.
Baumann is adamant about
allowing his playmakers to
make plays, “I still give them
the freedom to break down
their opponent and take them
one-on-one if they can.”
On the other end of the
court, he is also adapting.
“They were previously a zone
team. I’m a man-to-man guy,
and they are picking up the
defensive concepts really well.
A system is only as good
as its players, and Baumann
thinks he has two excellent
ones in seniors Gideon Reyes
and Joseph Dauphin.
“We will depend heavily on
Gideon Reyes. He is a great se-
nior leader who knows what
everyone around him is sup-
posed to be doing, and he
works hard,” Baumann said
about his starting point guard.
He had equally high praise
to dish out about Dauphin,
“Dauphin is very skilled of-
fensively. He has a very good
chance to be a dominant
force in this district.”
Baumann was bold about
his hopes for the upcom-
ing season, “I told this team
when I got here last year that
my three goals are to finish
in the top three in district,
reach 20 wins, and win a
playoff game.”
The Panthers need only
one more win than last year’s
19-11 record to achieve the
second goal, and they almost
beat Victoria West in the first
round of playoffs, losing a
hard fought battle 55-48.
As for District 29-4A foes,
Baumann has seen last
year’s game film of those
opponents, but he takes it
with a grain of salt, “It’s hard
to judge because you don’t
know who graduated and
who’s coming back.”
The Panthers have already
played two scrimmages this
year, and opened the regular
season Tuesday with a con-
vincing 71-40 win against Lytle.
Senior forward Dallas
Gonzales was very pleased
with how the Panthers
played, “We did a lot of
things right and played our
butts off. In the second half I
think our defense got a little
shaky but we fought hard
until the end.”
Coach Baumann is trying
to infuse a different attitude
on the court and in the lock-
er room than the Panthers
exhibited last year, “I try to
bring intensity, passion, and
energy to practice every day.
We spend too much time up
here to not have fun.”
“If you don’t enjoy it, why
do it?” questioned Bau-
mann.
The Panthers will be wear-
ing brand new, slick Adi-
das uniforms this year, and
Baumann is confident that
his team can outdo expecta-
tions and turn Medina Valley
into a top level program that
is worthy of the new look.
