MIDLAND HIGH 49, ODESSA PERMIAN 26
MIDLAND —
Nope, it
wasn't pretty, nor was it much of a game. The Bulldogs dominated
the third quarter and glided to a 49-26 win in Midland's Grande
Communications Stadium. A key play, setting the tempo of the
night's unfolding, came when Bulldog
free safety Herb City intercepted a deep pass over the middle,
returning it 52 yards to the Permian 1. TJ Barber would score on
the next play, giving the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead. Permian answered
with a 40-yard Ryan Havens field goal, cutting the lead to 7-3.
Midland would score again in the first half. On a fourth-and-two
at Permian's 5, MHS quarterback Ryan Rowland hit Zack Sledge on a
quick slant to the inside. The two teams exited to the locker
rooms with the Bulldogs leading 14-3.
If there was a turning point, it came on Permian's first possession
after the second half kickoff, as the Bulldogs forced a punt and City
again came up with a big play to set up a score. City blocked the kick
by Charles McGuire, and it rolled into the end zone where Daniel
Stovall pounced on it to give the Bulldogs a 21-3 lead. The
Bulldogs scored on their next two drives, Barber capped his night with
a 6-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter.
