7th Mules vs.
Brownfield (9-14-2017)
The seventh-grade Mules
opened their first football season Thursday afternoon and shutout the visiting Brownfield
Cubs 20-0.
The Mules kicked off to start
the game. Frankie Reyes picked off a Cub pass at the Mule 48-yard line. The
Mules could not convert the turnover into points. But the Mule defense stepped
up and held the Cubs the balance of the first quarter.
The Cubs completed a pass on
first down, but Davian McMullen made the tackle for a one-yard loss. The Cubs
attempted a run to the right, but Davian Ragsdale made the tackle after a
one-yard gain.
The Cubs made a reception,
but McMullen was there to make the stop five-yards short of a first down to end
the first quarter. A high snap on fourth down sailed over the punter’s head,
and Frankie Reyes was there for the tackle.
The Mules took over on downs
at the Cub 15. On the second play of the drive, Irvin Torres passed to Noah
Deleon for a 15-yard touchdown with 4:59 remaining in the first half. The
two-point conversion attempt failed, but the Mules led 6-0.
The Mules kicked off, and
Elisar Cisneros raced downfield to make the tackle at the Cub 34. Reyes, F.
Torres, and Kyle Hernandez made one tackle each to hold the Cubs short of a
first down.
The Mules took over on downs
at the Cub 38. A holding penalty set the Mules back 10 yards. But a pass from
I. Torres to Deleon was good for 22 yards and a first down. I. Torres kept wide
left for six yards. Reyes carried up the middle for 10 yards and a first down
at the 10-yard line.
Cisneros fired a strike to
Deleon for a 10-yard touchdown with 20 seconds left in the first half. The
two-point conversion failed, and the Mules led 12-0 at the intermission.
The Cubs kicked off to begin
the third quarter. Judas Reyes returned 10 yards to the Mule 39. The Mules
began their march to the Cub end zone for the final time. The drive took nine
plays and consumed most of the third period.
F. Reyes carried wide left
for nine yards. I. Torres kept the ball on a run to the right and cut upfield
for six yards and a first down. F. Reyes completed a throw to Uriel Vasquez for
five yards. F. Reyes scooted wide left for 28 yards to the Cub 14.
F. Reyes kept wide right for
13 yards. He again called his number and kept up the middle for a one-yard
touchdown with 29 seconds left in the third quarter. I. Torres kept wide left
for the two-point conversion and a 20-0 Mule lead over the Cubs.
The Mules shut down the
ensuing Cub drive at the Mule 32 and exhausted the clock for the Mules first
win.
The Mules will host the
Childress Bobcats Thursday.
