Mules vs. Brownfield
(9-15-2017)
In a game the Mules would
like to forget, they fell to the Brownfield Cubs Friday night 42-13. The Cubs
owned a six-point lead when the first period ended and never trailed in the
game.
The Cubs scored again early
in the second period on a 40-yard pass from Jaelyn Nolan to Adrian Martinez.
The Cubs tacked on the two-point conversion with a toss from Nolan to Chris
Vidales. The Cubs led 14-0 with 9:25 remaining in the first half.
The two teams exchanged
punts, and the Cubs punt took a Mule bounce to the Muleshoe 43. Michael Del
Toro completed a pass to Romeo Reyes. Rudy Ruiz made a downfield block to open
the path for a 22-yard gain.
Brady Martinez ran a delayed
slant and snagged the football for a five-yard pickup. Michael Lozano cut wide
to the left and a facemask penalty and a dead-ball foul advanced the ball to
the Cub three-yard line.
Back-to-back plays lost
ground, and on third down, Del Toro fired a strike to R. Reyes at the one-yard
line, and he powered into the end zone. Brady Martinez booted the point after
to cut the Cub lead to 14-7 with just under five minutes left in the first
half.
The Cubs scored before the
intermission and again after the second half started to lead the Mules 28-7.
The Cubs kicked off to the
Mule 40, and Matthew Alarcon returned the ball to the Mule 48. Lozano carried
up the middle and cut left for a nine-yard gain. Yoel Reyes made the reception
on a wide-receiver screen, avoided one tackle and broke another for a 10-yard
gain.
Lozano powered up the middle
for six yards. The Cubs jumped into the neutral zone to donate the Mules five
yards. Del Toro emptied the backfield and ran a quarterback draw to the
one-yard line. Del Toro followed Lozano into the end zone for the Mules final
score.
The Mules rushed for 133
yards and passed for 116 for a total of 249 yards of offense. Luke Del Toro
carried 12 times for 77 yards and one touchdown. He completed 13 passes for 90
yards and one touchdown. Jimmy Villa completed four passes for 26 yards.
Romeo Reyes caught six passes
for 54 yards and one touchdown. Jacob Kettner grabbed two passes for 28 yards,
and Brady Martinez made four catches for 18 yards.
