Mustangs successful in last scrimmage

The Sweetwater Mustangs used their last scrimmage to take advantage of Vernon pretty handily.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful to Vernon, but if this had been a real game, it would have been over by the end of the 1st half. The Mustangs scored 6 touchdowns to Vernon leaving the "Snakepit" empty handed.

The Mustangs came early and stayed late, as the offense rolled up 550 yeards of offense. The breakdown was 461 yards rushing and 9-12 passing for 89 yards through the air. And that was with 3 quarterbacks. Sonny Birdwell, Kendal Carrillo, and Duone Cunnings proved you can't have too many quarterbacks. Sky Green the official fastest human in west Texas, had rushing touchdowns of 61 and 65 yards. Joseph banyard picked up where he left off from last season scoring as well as Sonny Birdwell. Cunnings also had a 55 yard scamper and this offense looked even faster that last year if that's possible.

The defense shut Vernon out thanks to a couple of fumble recoveries which were the result of some pretty jarring hits by the defense.

"The kids had a good time. We needed to be able to play one more before the pressure starts," said coach Kent Jackson, whose team begins its season by hosting Lubbock Cooper this Friday.

"We had a little more pep in our step," Jackson said. "We had a lot of positives that kept us going. But the greatest deal of all is that everyone walked out healthy. It was a neat deal to get a lot of kids some work. They all got a lot of reps and that's a good thing."
