Special teams were anything but for Canyon Friday night as Sweetwater blocked two Eagle punt attempts in the opening quarter and returned another punt for a score in a 47-28 win at the Mustang Bowl in Sweetwater. The Sweetwater ground attack proved too much for Canyon as the Mustangs rushed for 304 yards on 39 carries.

Sweetwater quarterback Thomas Holsey turned the Mustangs’ first play from scrimmage into a 17-yard touchdown run.

Holsey finished with 103 yards on five carries.

Sweetwater (2-2) turned the game in their favor early by blocking two Canyon punts in the first quarter and taking a 19-0 lead after six minutes of play.

Sweetwater led 26-6 after the first quarter.

Canyon’s first score came with 2:26 to play in the first quarter when J.D. Hayden ran in from three yards out to cut the lead to 19-6.

But Sweetwater scored 21 of the next 28 points including a 55-yard punt return for a touchdown by Steven Fields.

Canyon (3-1) closed the half with a score when Hayden scored from six yards out with just :38 to play to make the halftime score 47-20. Hayden finished with 98 yards on 13 carries and two touchdowns.

Canyon shut out Sweetwater in the second half, wtih the lone second half score came when Canyon quarterback Spencer Church hit Braden Kimsey in the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown pass. Church finished 19-of-39 passing for 197 yards and two touchdowns.
