Universal City Randolph Spoils Shorthorns Season Opener

The Schulenburg football team lost its season opener Friday 42-20 as the Shorthorns struggled to contain a Universal City Randolph offense that generated 454 total yards.

Schulenburg quarterback Tyler Ryba threw for a touchdown to Kenny Schramek and ran for one and John Davis also rushed for a touchdown for the Shorthorns. Randolph quarterback Aaron Davis ran for 85 yards and threw for 168, but Ryba more than matched him. Schulenburg’s junior QB ran for 115 yards and threw for 154. Next week Schulenburg goes to Rogers, which was a 29-23 winner over Little River Academy last week. Rogers went 7-4 last season.
