Historic 2020 Timpson Bears Football Season Ends with 49-7 Loss to Shiner

The Timpson Bears best-ever varsity football season came to an end in the Class 2A Division I state semifinals on Thursday night at Randall Reed Stadium in New Caney. The Bears came into the game as the #4 seed and they lost to the #1 Shiner Comanches by a 49-7 margin.

Timpson finishes the year 14-1. This was the best ever season for the Bears football program.

The Bears could not get a stop during Shiner’s opening drive as the Comanches moved the ball 67 yards on their opening drive which resulted in a 15-yard touchdown run by Doug Brooks. The Comanches led 7-0 with 6:42 remaining in the first quarter.

The Bears turned the ball over on downs after taking over at the 50-yard line when Braden Courtney returned the kickoff to midfield. The Comanches made the Bears pay as they scored again with 2:16 left in the opening stanza on a 26-yard touchdown scamper by Dakota Watts.

The second quarter saw SHS build their lead to 35-0 and by the 5:08 mark of the third period the Comanches had built their advantage to 42-0.

Late in the third frame the Bears were able to drive the ball. After an earlier touchdown run by Braden Courtney was called back, LT Washington was able to hit Shaheed Cross for a 20-yard touchdown reception. This cut the SHS lead to 42-7 very near the end of the third quarter.

The final score of the contest came when Dalton Brooks scored on a 30-yard run to give Shiner the final 49-7 advantage.

Coach Kerry Therwhanger stated after the game “It’s been a great ride with a great group of kids and coaches. I tip my hat to Shiner they played better tonight. I was proud our kids never gave up. They showed character to come out and battle.”

Shiner will go on to play Post High School next Thursday, December 17th for the 2A DI state championship at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium. The Antelopes are 15-0 and they are looking for their fifth state football championship win in school history.
