Bearcats defense nets Moore win

By Richard Greene Assistant Editor Pilot Point's defense made sure G.A. Moore added another milestone to his resume Friday night. The Bearcats' defense and special teams forced four turnovers, leading Pilot Point to a 24-14 victory over Lake Dallas in the non-district finale at Falcon Stadium. The victory was the 400th in Moore's 41-year coaching career. Moore (400-77-9), who broke former Brownwood coach Gordon Wood's Texas high school record for career victories last season, became only the third coach in the nation to win 400 games. "It feels good because we won the game," said Moore, who downplayed the 400th win. "This team has gotten better each week. "I've been very blessed to be associated with the people I have." The Pilot Point defense, which had struggled in the last three games, limited the potent Lake Dallas offense to 211 yards and only one score. The Bearcats' defensive front, led by end Jeremy Hammonds, kept pressure on Lake Dallas quarterback Chris Webb all night, sacking him five times for -42 yards. Hammonds gathered three of the sacks. Webb hit 13 of his 22 pass attempts for 180 yards. "I had a blast out there; I think the whole defense did," Hammonds said. "Going into the game, we knew we had to get pressure on him and could not give him any time to throw." The Bearcats defense was also opportunistic. With Lake Dallas leading 14-11, freshman defensive tackle Joe Vine picked up a fumble by Webb at the 48 and outran everyone, getting a block inside the 5 from Hammonds to score with :23 left in the third quarter. "I just saw the ball and grabbed it," said Vine, who was playing his second varsity game. "I thought someone was going to catch me from behind." Pilot Point (3-2) added a 2-yard run by quarterback Josh LeBlanc in the fourth quarter to seal the win. LeBlanc finished with 33 yards on 15 carries and scored twice. He also completed six of his 14 pass attempts for 131 yards. He was picked off twice. Lake Dallas' Daniel Oppong intercepted both passes. He made his second pick at the start of the second half and returned the ball 45 yards. Oppong fumbled the ball at the 2 into the end zone, where Kenyard Jackson recovered it, giving Lake Dallas (2-3) the lead at 14-11.
