We were unable to make this game, but I know that the wind blew and the Mules prevailed and beat Slaton last night, 41-12. We listened to the game via Channel 6, so between that and the stats in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, I can tell you that Isaac Baca left the game early with an injury, we led 14-6 at the half, things picked up third quarter with the score 34-6, and the game ended after both teams scored once more, making the final score 41-12.
Beau Avila quarterbacked most of the game, but Caleb Wood saw some action as well. We had 14 first downs compared to their 11, which looks fairly close to me, but our 158 rushing yards compared to their 43, and our 263 vs. their 192 passing yards sounds like we were a stronger team. Both teams suffered three fumbles, but we recovered one more than they did, but we had more penalties, 7-50 to their 2-15, traditionally what happens when you are the visiting team, right?
Touchdown credit goes to Adelaido Godeniz, Saul Elizalde, Jr. Baca, and Beau Avila. Extra points were made by Saul Elizalde and Juan Guerrero. The entire team gets credit, however, for a good game and win.
Nest week we travel to Friona. Should be a good one. See you there.
Go Mules!
