Austin, Texas

The Anderson Trojans defeated the College Station Cougars 37-14 in their District 12-5A Division I opener at House Park on Friday night, marking a significant turnaround for the Trojans after their previous year’s loss to the same team. This victory improved Anderson’s record to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in district play, while College Station fell to 0-3 and 0-1 in the district.

Game Highlights

Anderson’s senior running back Caleb Crenshaw, a transfer from Austin LBJ, was the star of the game, rushing for a remarkable 214 yards and scoring three touchdowns on 32 carries. His standout moment came just before halftime when he executed a stunning 98-yard touchdown run, pushing the Trojans to a 21-14 lead. The teams were locked in a tie late in the second quarter, with both showcasing their offensive capabilities.

College Station’s quarterback Keaton Johnson initiated scoring with a 3-yard touchdown run, giving the Cougars an early 7-0 advantage. However, Anderson responded promptly with a touchdown pass from Crenshaw, which leveled the game. Later, Johnson connected with Grady Pryor for a 21-yard touchdown pass that tied the game again at 14.

Second Half Dominance

Anderson’s defense, which had only allowed a single safety in their preceding games, faced its first significant challenge against College Station but rose to the occasion, holding the Cougars scoreless in the second half. A pivotal moment came when Yaheim Riley, another LBJ transfer and a Texas commit, caught a touchdown pass in the third quarter, extending Anderson’s lead to 31-14. Crenshaw added one more touchdown in the final minutes of the game with a 61-yard run, solidifying Anderson’s victory.
