There was plenty of scoring between Shiner and 3A Tidehaven in the Comanches Towel and Soap Scrimmage on Friday evening ( August 13, 2024 ).
The teams combined for nine touchdowns with Tidehaven getting a slight advantage 5-4 at the end.
The Shiner first-team offense scored one touchdown and the second group scored three times.
For the Tigers, the first offense had one touchdown while the second team had four scores.
"There was a lot we can improve on," Comanches head coach Daniel Boedeker said. "One of the biggest things was to make sure we played physical. I saw us be physical. Tidehaven is a good team. We had some turnovers and have to work on our tackling."
"I thought overall we did a good job. We put a good drive together on offense to score first. We did good on the offensive line setting the tone and our backs finished it. Our first-team defense kept Tidehaven out of the end zone the first time they were on the field and Tidehaven's first offense scored on their last series."
Neither team's first-team offense was able to score on their opening possessions.
The Comanches' second-team offense scored three times: a 65-yard run, a 39-yard run and a 2-yard run.
