Varsity vs Creekview

Wow what a way to start the season! Great game by the Texan football team, the Texan band, the Texan cheerleaders, the Sidekicks and Texan fans! That is how Friday nights should be for the Texans. It is always a big confidence boost when you get that first check mark in the win column.

The offense took the field to start the game with a short drive and a punt. Then the defense jumped out on the field and held the Mustangs to a field goal. The Texan O and Dylan quickly answered with an 18 yard reverse for a TD and a 7-3 lead with 4:41 left in the 1st quarter. On the following Creekview possession Casey O disrupted the drive with a pick and return. Unfortunately the ball was knocked loose and recovered by the Mustangs. That drive left the Texans down 10-7 early in the 2nd quarter. The offense took to the field and put together a good drive inside the 20 that was cut off by an interception with 18 seconds left in the half. Halftime score was 10-7. The second half started with a lively Texan D holding the Mustangs to a 3 and out. Jacob and a highly motivated offensive line took that first second half possession and drove it right to the heart of the Creekview defense. First play of the drive was a 40 yard keeper by Jacob up the middle to set the tone for the second half. The 80 yard drive was capped with a 1 yard TD by Jacob around the left side. Texan lead 14-10 with 5:45 left in the 3rd quarter. Those Mustangs responded with a drive of their own to jump back on top 17-14. Both teams traded possessions for the remainder of the third and start of the fourth quarters until Eric C jumped a Mustang pass giving the ball back. Dylan once again stepped up with a 32 yard reception to take the ball to the Creekview 11. Jacob scampered around the end from 3 yards out to put them back up 21-17. The defense had a fire lit and Creekview didnt have enough water to slow down the flames! The Mustangs were given a gift when a bobbled punt was recovered just inside Texan territory. The defense was not going to be denied on this night holding on a 4th down try from the 1, with 1:40 left in the game. Great team effort by those Texans. 21-17 final.
