SCHULENBURG -- The Shiner Comanches gave the state's top-ranked Class 2A team all it could handle Friday as Schulenburg held on for a 21-14 victory.
The Shorthorns' Kyle Bludau scored three touchdowns, the third coming with seven minutes remaining to give top-ranked Schulenburg the winning margin in a 21-14 win over the Comanches.
Schulenburg struck first in the contest on an 8-yard run by Bludau, but the Comanches rallied to tie it when Trevian Flowers gathered in a 30-yard scoring pass from Blaine Caka.
After Schulenburg took a 14-7 lead on a 20-yard scoring run from Bludau, the Comanches answered again early in the final period when Evel Jones broke free for a 10-yard TD pass from Jacob Stafford.
