SWEETWATER — In a sport where games are often decided by just a few plays here or there, a young Sweetwater football team learned on Friday night that sometimes it can be just a singular play that decides a game.
A 60-yard fumble return by Hiram Gaytan kept the Mustangs from driving for a go-ahead score in the second quarter, and it all unraveled from there as Seminole, ranked No. 9 in the state in Class 4A Division II, rolled to a 44-7 win at the Mustang Bowl in Sweetwater’s home opener.
Seminole running back Caton Cramer ran for four touchdowns in the second and third quarters combined as the Mustangs had trouble keeping pace with the Indians fast-paced attack that ran 75 plays — compared to just 61 by the Mustangs.
