Trojans top Mustangs in Class C quarterfinal
Stung by a Medina touchdown in the opening seconds, Southwestern came roaring back to defeat the visiting Mustangs 48-7 this evening in the quarterfinal round of the Section VI Class C football playoffs.
Medina struck like lightning on the game’s first play from scrimmage as quarterback Preston Woodworth hooked up with Kolton Fletcher on a 61 yard touchdown pass play. Davi Mucoucah tacked on the extra point kick tom make it 7-0.
However, Southwestern answered right back on a 49 yard touchdown run by quarterback Trent Lewis. The Trojans though missed the extra point attempt leaving the Mustangs holding a slender 7-6 lead.
Keeping the momentum Southwestern quickly moved on top to stay to 20-7 before the opening quarter ended on two short scoring drives capped off first by a 17 yard touchdown run by Lewis and then by a 43 yard Lewis to Roger Markham TD pass.
Both of those scores were set up when Medina lost on fourth down gambles in their own territory first at the Mustangs 24 and then at the 33.
The Trojans upped the lead to 27-7 on a 4 yard touchdown run by Bradyn Fuller late in the second quarter.
Southwestern closed out the win by scoring once in the third quarter and twice in the fourth.
Southwestern advances to next week’s semifinal round with a 9-0 record while Medina finishes the season at 6-3.
