Steppin it up, Mustangs slam Pecos 52-14

It's a work of art when a football team can be cruising, and then mash the accelerator in the second half of a game. That's what happened tonight as Sweetwater body-slammed Pecos 52-14.

I give Pecos credit. I give Luis Ortega of Pecos alot of credit. Where has this guy been all year? Did he just move to Pecos? He is a very good player and played his heart out. But that's all Pecos had in the tank to try and play with the the many stars on the Sweetwater side.

Pecos held their own in the first half. But even on fresh legs, they were still down 28-14 based largely on 2 Skye Green runs of 71, and 8 yards. You all remember Skye being on the state runner-up team in track right? He sure showed some speed when he turned on those after burners as he got around the corner for the first score. I think I'll nick name him The Roadrunner..beep beep.

Then in the second half Joseph (Batman) Banyard ran for 53 yards, and Green ran for another 33 yards making the score at the half 28-14 as previously mentioned.

And then it happened. When the Mustangs came out for the third quarter, that's when the team went into the passing gear.
Banyard for 53 yards and a score, Green on a 33 yard run for a score, Banyard again on a 10 yard run for a score. It seemed like Pecos just had to name their poison. Either way, there was some serious speed being done by the Stangs.

The fourth quarter, the 2nd and 3rd teams got some additional playing time, and the team finished the scoring with a 25 yard Parker Morrow kick.

The defense played a good game with Brandon Fangman leading the charge. The offensive line was moving people out, making large holes for the runners. The pass blocking was very good.

Sonny Birdwell engineered a good game for the offense. Overall, it was a good night for the Mustangs. Sweetwater rushed 32 times for 416 yards, which averages out to 13 yards per carry. Pretty impressive. In the passing department, Birdwell was 5 of 6 and no interceptions for 82 yards. The three receivers were Green 2 catches for 29 yards, J.J.McCoy 1 catch for 11 yards, and the big catch of the day was Brittan Pittman 1 catch for 42 yards.

This was a good game for the Mustangs. I really like the sound of those jets taking off too. Way to go men.
