DISTRICT 2-5A DIV. I WEEK 3 REPORT: AHS falls at Permian; Monterey, Caprock and LHS earn victories

Odessa Permian 42, Abilene High 37 — The Eagles rallied from down 19 points at halftime to give themselves a chance to take the lead in the fourth quarter, but a late turnover on downs in the red zone ended their hopes of a dramatic comeback win.

AHS (2-1), which trailed 35-16 at the break, ran for 375 of its 479 yards, getting big games from quarterback Brayden Henry (18-224, 3 TDs) and Ethan Joyner (21-127, 1 TD). But the Eagles’ struggles to slow the Panthers offense proved too much to overcome.
