Flatonia Rolls Past St. Paul For 35-0 Season Opening Win
The season couldn’t have started better for the Flatonia Bulldogs as they pounded defending private school state champ St. Paul 35-0 Friday. Quarterback Fidel Venegas threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and passed for 182 total yards Friday. Keyshaun Green caught a 49 yard touchdown pass and ran for a 16-yard touchdown, and Jaidyn Guyton returned a punt 64 yards for a touchdown. The Flatonia defense held St. Paul to just 209 total yards of offense. The Bulldogs face a huge test this week as they host Hallettsville, which was a 14-7 winner over then-No. 1-ranked Shiner last week.
