Plainview 24-Sand Rock 7

Plainview travelled to Sand Rock Friday night, looking for their first win.

It was the second quarter before either team put points on the scoreboard.  With 11:00 minutes remaining in the second, Plainview’s Will Kirk, made an interception and ran it back for 20 yards for a touchdown.  The extra point by Luis Hernandez was good.  Sand Rock tied the ballgame when Joel Brock made a 19-yard catch for the touchdown.  The PAT was successful.  With only eight seconds left before the half, Luis Hernandez gave the Bears the lead with his 37-yard field goal.

The third quarter was very quiet but in the fourth, the Bears took charge.  They wanted to give new coach, Dustin Goodwin his first Plainview win.  With 8:13 left in the fourth, Sam Mueller had a 10-yard touchdown dash and the kick was good by Hernandez.  Will Kirk insured the win with his interception and final Bear Touchdown. The kick was good. The final was Plainview 24, Sand Rock 7.

John David Martin led the Plainview Bears with 71 yards rushing. Sam Mueller followed close behind with 63 yards.

The Plainview Bears will take on the Section Lions for their Homecoming,  Friday night.
