VARSITY VS ST. MARY'S
TWO MORE REGULAR SEASON GAMES
Pictured above is Brady Brown getting his first look at St. Mary's last year on October 25th in a 45-14 loss.
While the regular season is clear with two more games remaining, the newly installed Section postseason structure leaves a lot of doubt as to the Varsity Bulldogs future after Halloween night. But for now, all eyes are focused on the large task that awaits them this week at St. Mary's.
All three levels have a lot to play for. The Freshmen will be seeking a league title on Thursday. On Friday at 5 p.m. the JV will be attempting to remain undefeated and seek their own league title. A win for the varsity would break a 24 game losing streak vs the Rams dating back to 1993 (see history page on this matchup)

After losing the 2024 Homecoming game 40-0 vs Edison last year, Tracy wanted to make sure things were different this year. The Dogs had a lot to play for tonight. There was the huge turnout in the stands, there was the school spirit, an important league game, and they were playing for the memory of Kane Stroup's grandfather who had recently passed.
Coach Pribble was extremely proud of his team postgame. "We have been taking on the challenges of these big games and big teams. Our kids have shown a lot of growth over the past month and we have been practicing really well. I love the effort from our younger guys whose voices are being heard and the leadership that is generated from our Seniors."
"I have nothing but respect for Lincoln as they gave us really good game," said Pribble. "Tonight we battled for each other. Big players have big plays in big games and our defense shined and our offensive stars like Goularte, Godoy, Brown, and our backs were difference makers."
Game Summary:
With 4:51 left in the first quarter Tracy got on the board first with a 19 yard touchdown pass from Brady Brown to David Goularte. It would be the first of two touchdowns and an overall impactful game by Goularte.
Lincoln showed they had a run game early scoring with relative ease marching down the field ending with a 15 yard run. The extra point hit the left upright and the score was Lincoln 6 - Tracy 7.
The game entered the flag stage at this point as there were many stoppages of play as things got chippy and sloppy. The quarter ended 7-6.
With Tracy pushed back to their goal line due to penalties, Brady Brown ran for 51 yards to give Tracy solid field position. With 7:15 left in the quarter, Brown connected with Tight End Maxwell Moore for a short pass that Moore ran 24 yards to the end zone. The extra point was blocked but Tracy had a 13-6 lead.
Brown came up with another touchdown strike with 3:44 left in the half as he found Juan Godoy over the middle on a beautifully thrown ball to make it 20-6 on the extra point by Scott Paterson.
With time winding down in the half, Lincoln was able to get to the 5 yard line, but the Tracy defense held on four consecutive plays to close out the half.
20-6 Halftime
Lincoln came out focused in the 2nd half and quickly scored on a 45 yard touchdown pass with 10:57 left in the quarter. The 2 point conversion was no good. Lincoln 12 - Tracy 20.
Tracy's first series of the 2nd half was messy and they gave Lincoln the ball back quickly and the Trojans made them pay with a 58 yard pass to the one yard line. The Trojans tied the game 20-20 at this point on a 3 yard touchdown pass and a 2 point pass conversion. 6:25 left in the quarter.
At the 6:18 mark of the 3rd, Brown threw another perfect pass to a well covered and leaping Goularte in the end zone. The highlight reel catch put Tracy up once again 27-20.
With 2:48 left in the third, Goularte kept his name in print with a fumble recovery at the Lincoln 40. The ball had been stripped by TJ Fonua.

With 45 seconds left in the 3rd, Goularte had an interception in the end zone to keep the score at 34-20.
With 9:49 left in the game, Grisham had his 2nd rushing touchdown, this time on a 53 yard run. 41-20.

Lincoln would get one final score on a 17 yard touchdown pass. The extra point was no good and the scoring in this game would end at 48-26.
