PHOTO GALLERY: Beeville hangs on to topple No. 10 Somerset
Undefeated Beeville Trojans took on formerly undefeated Somerset in a battle-to-the-finish on Friday night in Somerset. With a never-quit mentality and the ability to put up big stops, Beeville came out on top at the end of the night. Check out the photo gallery from the game below:
RECAP
Coming out rolling, Beeville was ready to get things started from the get-go. Elijah Sustaita scored two touchdowns in the first half against the Bulldogs as the Trojans went into the locker room ahead 14-7. Coming out in the second half saw plenty of frustrating moments for the Beeville fans as the matchup got chippy. With laundry all over the field throughout the entire game, fans on both sides were loud and the atmosphere was tense while the Trojans and Bulldogs battled against the wind and each other.
After the Bulldogs cut the Trojans lead 14-13 in the third quarter, momentum picked up on the field. Trojans and Bulldogs alike began playing with more intensity. With an 80-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown, sophomore Davyn Perez showed athletes and fans why the Trojans hold true to a "play-to-the-whistle" mindset. After debating on the field, a touchdown call stood extending the lead for the Trojans; 21-13. After being held to a field goal attempt, Edward Brako scored to further extend the lead 24-13 for the Trojans. Somerset would go on to score one more time with a completed two-point conversion, but would be unable to continue their attempt at a comeback against an aggressive Beeville defense led by Darion Perez and Seth Gutierrez.
Beeville is set to host state-ranked No. 4 Cuero on Friday, September 22.

PREVIEW: Undefeated Somerset hosts undefeated Beeville
Two undefeated South Texas teams are geared up to face off in a non-district battle. The Somerset Bulldogs host the Beeville Trojans looking to put on a Friday night show in front of a home crowd. VYPE takes a look at these two teams and dives into what fans can expect as they head into this Friday night matchup:
Beeville Trojans (3-0)
Beeville has been a dominant force this season. Posting three consecutive victories over strong opponents, this team has something special in them this season. Defeating rival Sinton (23-16), Orange Grove (41-33), and Robstown (49-27), the Trojans continue to march into stadiums, run through the tunnel, and leave their mark in every single moment of gameplay.
Led by a slew of athletes who are focused on creating challenges for each opponent, the Trojans head to Somerset on Friday night. Davyn Perez, Seth Gutierrez, Joshua Arroyos, Edward Brako, Elijah Sustaita, Beau Auzston, Darion Perez, Landon Briones, Austin Arredondo, and others have continued to be major playmakers for the Trojans as they topple opponents week after week.
Somerset Bulldogs (3-0)
Also a dominant force, Somerset has made it known that they aren't to be taken lightly. With three consecutive victories, the Bulldogs have overpowered their opponents allowing only 58 points against them combined this season. Week one saw a 49-21 dominance over San Antonio Southside while week two saw a closer, hard-fought 21-16 battle against San Antonio Central Catholic. Last week, Somerset traveled to Floresville and recorded a 42-21 victory.
Josiah Lugo, Ruben Moreno, Robert Spaulding, Jermiah Contreras, Jason Flores, Ray Faz, Jaden Faz, Zackary Serna, Brandon Kemp, Jensen Panchame, and others make up this season's squad of Bulldogs who have no quit. Fast-paced and quick to set the tone, this team is going to do whatever it takes to give Beeville a run for their money on Friday night.
What To Expect
Both teams will have high energy headed into this second-to-last non-district matchup. Last season, Somerset posted a 43-22 victory over the Trojans and will look to dismantle Beeville on Friday night. Beeville, however, is a host to a special sophomore class mixed with strong upperclassmen leaders. The Trojans aren't going to go down without a battle. A clash of the undefeateds is something fans aren't going to want to miss. Expect a back-and-forth battle between both of these teams as both strive to remain at the top of the world.
Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m. at Somerset High School.
