SWEETWATER — Korda Moore ran for 97 yards and five touchdowns on nine carries to lead Sweetwater to a 51-38 win over Snyder on Friday at the Mustang Bowl, clinching a playoff berth and winning season for the Mustangs just one year after a 1-9 campaign.
Moore’s big night came as the Mustangs knew that Snyder would be chasing points in an effort to be best positioned for a three-way tie for the final playoff spot. But fourth-year Sweetwater coach Russell Lucas wanted to ensure that his squad wouldn’t have to worry about that.
Lucas said the Mustang coaching staff made sure the players knew they were playing to win, not playing to win a tiebreaker.
