Lake View in a Defensive Battle with Andrews in the Rain

SAN ANGELO, TX — Stormy weather and rain marred the Lake View Chiefs' district matchup with the Andrews Mustangs on Friday night. Bad conditions led to a tough defensive battle in the first half.

Lake View trails Andrews 14-6 after two quarters.

Andrews clawed its way onto the board first after a long opening drive took up half the first quarter. The Mustangs' Tommy Andrews ran a sweep from 11 yards out to put Andrews up 7-0.

Lake View answered as time wound down in the 2nd quarter. The Chiefs' defense came up with a play when Isaiah Fuentes recovered a fumble. That led to a deep pass from quarterback Chris Alvizo to Gabriel Alvarez in the corner of the end zone. Unfortunately, the Chiefs missed the extra point and trailed 7-6 with a minute and a half to play in the quarter.

Andrews used that final minute to extend its lead. Three deep passes in a row put the Mustangs in the end zone to stretch the lead to 14-6 at the break.
