SAN ANGELO \u2013 The San Angelo Central High School Bobcats scored on their first series drive, then finished off the Frenship Tigers in the second half with a good \u2018ole\u201d fashion 52-16 beatdown in its District 2-6A finale season on Thursday, November 6, 2025. Head Coach Mark Smith\u2019s Cats earned three consecutive district wins, including over Frenship, and finished third in the district.
\nCentral Bobcats\u2019 offense marshalled down the field, going 57 yards on its first series drive, capped off when quarterback Micah Smith handed off to Zeyvion \u201ctrain\u201d Johnson, who \u201cbully balled\u201d his way into the endzone for a 2-yard touchdown. The Cats\u2019 7-0 lead came with 8:33 left in the first quarter.
\nThe Tigers responded with their own scoring drive when quarterback Quaid Ferris scampered in for a two-yard touchdown. After the PAT, Central and Frenship were tied 7-7, still in the first quarter.
\nWhen Central\u2019s Smith overthrew his tight end over the middle, Tigers\u2019 Jackson Thomas’ interception return put Frenship\u2019s offense in position to get a 35-yard field goal from its kicker; that 10-7 score held up at the end of the first quarter.
\nIn the second quarter, with Frenship in scoring range, Ferris hands off to Braiden Dunkerson. Once Dunkerson runs left, he is stonewalled by an \u201cAngry Orange\u201d defense, but bounces to the right and races to the endzone for a five-yard touchdown score. After the PAT miss, it is Tigers 16, Cats 7 with 5:58 left in the second quarter.
\nDespite two interceptions by Smith, the quarterback drove his offense to a score, this one a monstrous 53-yard field goal by kicker Caleb Holbert with 1:09 left before the half. The field goal cut the Tigers’ lead to 16-10.
\nWith Frenship facing 4th, and three at the Cats\u2019 42-yard line, Ferris\u2019 pass to receiver Graham Stevens, who cuts across the middle, drops the ball with 24 seconds. At the half, it is Tigers 16, Cats 10.
\nOn the Tigers’ first series drive of the opening third quarter, Frenship decides to go for it on fourth down. Ferris\u2019s attempted pass to Peyton Archibald is badly underthrown.
\nWhen the Cats\u2019 offense takes over at the 40, Central makes the Tigers\u2019 defense pay. On second down at Frenship\u2019s 35-yard line, Smith hands off to Johnson, who blasts through a huge hole created by the offensive line to score an uncontested touchdown run. Central takes the lead, 17-16, with 8:43 left in the third quarter.
\nAfter the Tigers and Cats fail on their three drives, Central\u2019s next touchdown blows the game open. Cats\u2019 quarterback Smith hooks up with wideout senior, Colton Hill, on the left side, lined up in the slot. Hill stutter-fakes right, then heads for the endzone pylon, where he catches the pass for a touchdown. With 4:59 left in the third quarter, Central leads Frenship, 24-16.
\nThe Cats\u2019 special teams unit slammed the door on the Tigers when Randin Covarrubio misjudged the ball, fumbled it, and Mason Van Sickle recovered it.
\nBobcats\u2019 offense, next score turns out to be Hill\u2019s second one. Smith fakes to his back, spots Hill, who was this time on the right side of the formation in the slot, beats his defender to the outside to score a 10-yard touchdown pass. With 2:46 left in the third quarter, Central leads Frenship, 31-16, after three quarters.
\nBobcats\u2019 offense starts the fourth quarter with \u201cbully ball\u201d when Johnson bounces to the outside and races down the left sideline for a 29-yard gain before being knocked out of bounds.
\nFirst, and ten from the Tigers\u2019 29, Smith again goes to the player with the \u201chot hand\u201d Hill, who goes up the seam, catches the ball at the six-yard line, and walks in for his third touchdown on \u201cSenior Night.\u201d Bobcats lead Tigers 38-16 with 11:25 left early in the fourth quarter.
\nOn Frenship\u2019s next possession, quarterback Ferris is pressured by Kash Jastrow, who tips the quarterback\u2019s pass, which linebacker Chris Walker recovers.
\nCHS\u2019 next score comes from power back, Johnson, who knifes in from the two-yard line to make it Central 45, Frenship 16 with 4:38 left in the game.
\nThe Tigers\u2019 offense was stonewalled by a tenacious \u201cSic em\u201d Cats defense on this series, forcing backup quarterback James Ordonez\u2019 center to low snap the ball. Ordonez dives to recover the ball, but Chris Walker scoops the ball in the endzone to cap off the final touchdown of the night for a 52-16 lead with 3:50 left in the game. Central finished the regular season 6-4, 3-2 in district.
