San Angelo Central Bobcats Lead at Halftime Against Midland Greenwood

MIDLAND, TX — The Central Bobcats traveled to Midland on Friday night to put their 2-game win streak to the test against Midland Greenwood. Two turnovers kept this game tight in the first half, but Central still leads at the break, 14-7.

Central won the toss and deferred to the second half. The defense started out hot, forcing a punt on the Greenwood Rangers’ first drive. However, Central could not capitalize. After driving the length of the field, Bobcats’ Micah Smith threw his first of two first-half interceptions.

Later, the Bobcats thought they had a free play on a 4th down and four in Greenwood territory, but it turned into an interception. Greenwood looked to have jumped offsides before the snap, and Smith chunked up a deep pass with that impression. Greenwood picked it off, and since there was no flag, the Rangers took over in Bobcats’ territory.
The Rangers took advantage with a 19-yard touchdown pass a few plays later and led 7-0 early in the 2nd quarter.

Central would go on to score 14 unanswered to end the half. Greenwood had no answer for running back Zey Johnson, who went for over 100 yards in the first two quarters.
Johnson scored from six yards out midway through the 2nd and again from three yards out with 40 seconds remaining in the half.

Greenwood managed a 29-yard field goal attempt with 14 seconds remaining but missed.
Central headed to the locker rooms up 14-7 at the break.
