Caleb Gentry, Ben Keilman dominate in 78-45 victory
by Mark Kusenberger
SAsports.com Senior Writer
Note to 3A teams in Region IV – never leave Ben Keilman open near the hoop.
Tuesday night against Devine, Keilman scored 20 points on ten field goals – two on putbacks, six on assists from teammates, including four from Jason Gentry.
And when Keilman was covered, or on the bench in foul trouble, Caleb Gentry slashed through whatever space was left on the court for 24 points in leading Hondo to a 78-45 victory at Hondo High School.
While Matt Lopez at 6’0 was the tallest starter for Devine, Hondo started not only the 6’4 Keilman, but also six-footers Jonah Ytuarte and Caleb Gentry. The Owls built on their lead throughout the game; although they had no long, dominating runs, they only let Devine score more than four straight points only once.
All of Keilman’s points came from within six feet of the basket. Caleb Gentry consistently went from the perimeter to the basket for points. Gentry shot 8 of 11 from the free throw line; his acrobatics including a drive to the hoop early in the second quarter where he swung the ball around his waist before making a layup, and a borderline dunk for a fourth quarter score.
The biggest ovation of the game, however, went to Hondo’s Lee Ray Quintanilla. Quintanilla, a senior, was the last of Hondo’s twelve players to participate in the ballgame; he scored off an assist from Leonard Rodriguez in the final two minutes of the game.
Devine was led in scoring by Michael Carson, who scored 13 points on 7 of 10 free throw shooting, and Matt Lopez, who showed some fine post-up moves in scoring 13 points before fouling out.
Hondo (21-2, 2-0 in 29-3A), ranked #24 in the state, is tied with Crystal City for first place in district. Devine (7-9, 1-1) falls into a tie with Lytle for third after the loss.
Quarters
DEVINE 10 14 13 13 - 45
HONDO 20 17 21 21 - 78
DEVINE SCORING: Matt Lopez 13, Michael Carson 13, Ernesto Aguilar 7, Jonathan Camacho 6, Charles Campsey 4, Xavier Ramirez 2, Jacob Sadler, Ray Arispe, Clifton Wofford
HONDO SCORING: Caleb Gentry 24, Ben Keilman 20, Tyler Barrios 7, Jonah Ytuarte 7, Chase Gardenhire 6, Jose de la Cruz 5, Jason Gentry 3, Nick Garcia 3, Lee Ray Quintanilla 2, Cade Rosenbaum 1, Luke Lemkovich, Leonard Rodriguez

State-ranked Hondo uses quickness in 62-46 victory
by Mark Kusenberger
SAsports.com Senior Writer
The Hondo Lady Owls, #25 in the state, flew out to a 10-1 run to start the game on their way to a 62-46 victory Tuesday night at Hondo High School.
Hondo’s Katie Arcos scored eight first quarter points on her way to a game-high 19. Luanna Lopez contributed nine first half points and several assists.
Devine had a slight height advantage over Hondo, but could not cope with Hondo’s quickness in either the half court game or the full court game. Hondo outscored Devine in each quarter of the ballgame. Along with the 10-1 run to start the game, Hondo enjoyed a 9-0 run in the second quarter and an 11-0 run in the fourth. After the 9-0 run in the second, Devine was no closer than 11 points the rest of the game.
Hondo only outscored Devine 29-24 in the second half. The difference proved to be that while Devine had two players scored seven or more second half points (Katherine Harrell with nine, Shaelyn Stacy with 8), Hondo had three (Katie Arcos and Chesney Brown with nine apiece, Colleen Moss with seven.)
The Lady Owls (23-5, 4-0 in 29-3A) maintain a share of first place in 29-3A with the victory. Friday, Hondo will go to Lytle, currently #10 in the state, in a faceoff for the district lead.
Devine (14-10, 2-2 in 29-3A) is now third place in district with the first round of district one game away from being complete. The Arabians will face Crystal City Friday, and can stay alone in third place in district with a victory.
Quarters
DEVINE 11 11 10 14 - 46
HONDO 17 16 12 17 - 62
DEVINE SCORING: Shaelyn Stacy 14, Katherine Harrell 9, Ally Harrell 9, Casey Heising 6, Valeree Ramirez 3, Kaelyn Stacy 3, Sierra Taylor 2, Samantha Houston
HONDO SCORING: Katie Arcos 19, Chesney Brown 14, Colleen Moss 11, Luanna Lopez 9, Haley Richter 6, Maggie Sunderman 2, Cindy Stanukinos 1, Breana Herrera

Congratulations to Colleen Moss, Hondo’s 2009 Homecoming Queen!
There were no empty seats at Barry Field in Hondo for Friday night’s matchup between Hondo and Pearsall; both teams were fighting for the District 29-3A title. In fact, there was very little room to stand - it was a perfect night for football. And Hondo won the battle 34-26 to take control of the district race.
