7th Mules vs. Shallowater
(11-9-2017)
The seventh-grade Mules
wrapped up their first football season Thursday afternoon at Benny Douglas
Stadium. The Shallowater Mustangs were the Mules final opponent of the season.
Shallowater jumped in front
of the Mules 28-0 by the half, and the Mustangs added two more touchdowns in
the second half to defeat the Mules 42-0.
The Mules took the opening
kickoff and were driving down the field before fumbling the ball away near
midfield. It only took the Mustangs to score with 2:49 left in the first
period.
The Mustangs kicked off high
and short. The ball took a big bounce back toward the onrushing Mustangs. Shallowater
covered the ball on the Mule 45. Three plays later the Mustangs were in the
Mule end zone.
Frankie Reyes made the tackle
to stop the Shallowater 2-point conversion attempt. Shallowater led 14-0 with
1:24 left in the first quarter.
Judas Reyes returned the
ensuing kickoff eleven yards to the Mule 41.
The Mustangs intercepted the
Mules pass at the Shallowater 41. Two plays later the Mustangs scored on a
46-yard pass and run with no time left in the first period. Shallowater led
20-0 going into the second quarter.
The Mustangs again kicked off
high and short, and Shallowater recovered at the Mule 40. Shallowater scored
with 3:38 remaining in the first half. The Mustangs led the Mules 28-0 at the
intermission.
The second half went much
same as the first had for the Mules.
Mules kicked off, and F.
Reyes made the tackle at the Shallowater 35. Four plays later the Mustangs
broke loose for a 45-yard run to put the Mustangs up 36-0.
The Mustangs final score came
on a five-yard run with 21 seconds left in the game.
The Mules will turn in their
football equipment, and start working on their basketball skills.
