Pecos scored on its opening possession of OT and converted its two-point try.
Lake View was unable to answer with a TD of its own, though the Chiefs had a tough-luck finish. Wide receiver DJ Munoz collided with a referee in the end zone as he attempted to haul in Chris Alvizo’s final pass of the game on a fourth-and-goal from the 13.

Braylon White had eight catches for 116 yards and a TD, Cristian Esparza had four catches for 99 yards and a TD, and Francisco Ramirez had three catches for 50 yards and a TD.
In addition to his clutch field goal, Rios also had 14 carries for 96 yards and a TD.
Roman Garcia had an INT on defense.
Lake View was without running back Sammy Ramirez and offensive lineman Trey Henry due to injury.
The Chiefs led 15-14 at halftime and 28-21 at the end of the third quarter before a back-and-forth final quarter.
Lake View fell to 2-6 overall and 0-1 in district, while Pecos improved to 3-5, 1-0.
