Saul, Barrett Fuel Patriots To Easy Win 0verbBr0nte By MICHAEL P. MANN Avalanche-Journal Sports Staff POST - The Bronte Longhorns had seen the run-and-shoot offense and several other aerial attacks while building their impressive 10- 0 record and eaming a berth in the Class 1A state playoffs. It was quickly evident, howev- er, that the eighth-ranked Long- homs hadn't seen anything like Valley's record'-breaking aerial tandem of Kirk Saul and Matt Bar- rett. Saul and Barrett teamed up to give the ninth-ranked Patriots a 21- 0 lead in the opening 10 minutes as Valley cmised to a 34-6 victory in a 1A bi-district encoxmter at Ante- lope Stadium Friday night. The 12-0 Pats meet Baird, a 20-0 winner over Santo Friday, in area play next week. The site and timer. for that game will be determined today. Bronte failed to register a Hrst down on its opening possession of the game, which was the Long- horns' first and fatal mistake. Vai- ley set up shop on its 32 yard line after Stephen Lee's punt. Aided by a personal foul penal- ty, the Pats breezed dovm the tield in six plays. Saul completed four passes in a row, all to Barrett, in- cluding the 7-yard TD throw with 7:53 remaining in the first quarter. The touchdown pass was Saul's 51st this season, giving him the na- tional record. Sol Graves of Mon- roe, La., Quachita Christian threw for 50 TDs last season. The Longhoms, whose first- team defense had surrendered just one passing touchdown in 10 pre vious games, were stung quickly f ' See SAUL Page 4 Saul Grabs,Naliortal PflSSiliglR8C0ffl lContinued From Page Onet again. Saul hit Ikeddie Ruiz on a swing pass, and the Hfrpound se- nior broke two tackles en route to a 75yard sprint. Bronte's Pete Puentez ran Ruiz down at the 2 yard line, setting up Saul's touchdown pass to Barrett on the next play. Scott Sau1's PAT made it 14-0 with 5:43 to go in the first quarter. A 47-yard run by Thomas Rodri- guez led to Kirk Saul's 3-yard TD pass to Brandon Smith with 2: 11 to go in the first quarter, making it 21-0. The Longhorns fared much bet- ter in the second quarter. Lee in- tercepted Kirk Saui at the Bronte 31 and in the end zone, and Bowie McGinnis recovered an errant Saul pitchout to stop another Patriot ad- VBDCC, i Voiley 34, Bronte 6 ammo W 9 5 0 -' 4 yulgy 21 A ta e - 14 VHS-Barre!! 7 0855 from K,Saul IS Saul klcki VHS-- Barrett 2 Dass irom K,Saul iS Saul Kiki VHS-Srhllhfi D055 H0171 KSBUI IS Sau' Kliki vH5..5C9qyins1i nm Kkick tailed!
