His big night was a major reason Conroe was able to pull out a 51-28 win and snap a three-game District 13-6A losing streak. “Coaches do a great job of finding ways to get him the ball. He stayed patient and he made plays. That’s ‘Third’ since I’ve known him in eighth grade. Kid just makes plays.”Grand Oaks trailed by three touchdowns at halftime, but cut it to a one-possession game at the 2:20 mark of the third quarter.
The sting of that turnover didn’t linger as Conroe defensive back DeVondre McGree ripped away the ball from a Grand Oaks running back three plays into the ensuing drive, and returned it 73 yards to the end zone. Cameron Thomas, who played a big role on the night, scored on 32-yard reception on Conroe’s first offensive drive of the second half.Smith hit Brause for a 74-yard touchdown, Langridge recovered his second fumble of the night, and then Brause caught another touchdown from Smith, this time from 14 yards away to make it 35-21.
