    Shiner is good. Very good.

    The Comanches ended three years of frustration with a 39-7 victory over Hallettsville to end a three-game losing streak to the Brahmas here Friday night.

    Both the Comanche offense and defense were nothing short of sensational. Shiner totaled 456 yards in the game while holding the Brahmas to a 205 yards.

    Brahma head coach Levi Montgomery’s take on the game: We couldn’t stop the run and we couldn’t run the ball. Shiner dominated in all facets of the game.”

    The Comanches took a 25-0 halftime lead.

    The Brahmas scored with 7:41 remaining in the fourth period to avoid the shutout.

    Shiner took advantage of a short field and had to go just 55, 40 and 57 yards on three of its drives and scored on four of five possessions in the first half.

    The Comanches took the opening kickoff and drove 70 yards in 10 plays with halfback Quincy Jones scoring from 10 yards out and Jacob Nerada kicked the extra point. The biggest chunk of the yardage came on a 40-yard run by halfback Quincy Jones.

    Halfback Caleb Cowan capped a 55-yard 10- play drive with a 12-yard run with 10:31 left in the second quarter for a 13-0 advantage.

    Quarterback Jarvis Williams scored on a 29- yard burst to complete a 55-yard, 5-play drive for a 19-0 lead and the Comanches made it 25-0 at the intermission on a 58-yard pass from Williams to Jones.

    Shiner scored twice in the third quarter on two touchdown runs by halfback Triston Vesely.

    The Brahmas hit the scoreboard with 7:41 to play in the fourth period on a 3-yard run by quarterback Wyatt Kram in a drive that took 10 plays and covered 61 yards. Peyton Willis and Kram both had 16-yard runs to aid the drive.

    Jones was the game’s leading rusher with 8 carries for 117 yards. Williams led Hallettsville with 53 yards on 8 carries.

    “We have a long way to go,” Montgomery said. “I have confidence in this football team.”
