PERMIAN AT LUBBOCK HIGH
The non-district season began in Lubbock's Lowrey Field.  The Mojo defense set the tone from the opening kickoff, causing the Westerners to go three-and-out and punting the ball away.  The Panthers drew immediate blood on the first possession by methodically moving the ball down the field and punching the ball in from the 1-yard line.  Quarterback Taylor Byrd took a quarterback sneak behind center Jason Jones into the end zone for their first of three scores in the first quarter.  The Panthers added another three scores in the second quarter, expanding the score to 41-0.  The Westerners got on the scoreboard as the half drew near on a 72-yard swing pass.  The Mojo defense limited Lubbock High to only four first downs in the half.  The second half was highlighted by the Mojo defense, which returned a fumble and caused a safety.  Byrd and Jamison Berryhill each scored twice, plus Byrd added a touchdown pass.  Great showing by offense, defense, and special teams.
