St. Pius X has made a bit of statement in Rugby Texas with two big wins in as many weeks.

After beating Kingwood 60-0 a week ago, St. Pius shut out a solid St. Thomas team 10-0. In a tense, defensive-minded, and not always perfect game, Pius put the pressure on St. Thomas for much of the game and got two scores - which was enough.

"We've got a good team this year," said St. Pius X Head Coach David Selby. "We have a talented backline and we're building some things."

Selby said his entire team is very young, and he expects to continue to develop the program. A new football coach who supports the game, and a supportive Athletic Director certainly don't hurt.

"We're playing well as a team, and even though we're small school we think we can compete," said Selby.

Led by captain Alec Kenda, St. Pius is doing just that.
