BIG COUNTRY PREPS GAME OF THE WEEK: Wall rallies to spoil Sweetwater’s homecoming

SWEETWATER — Friday’s Big Country Preps Game of the Week could have been called a tale of two halves. 

A first half that saw Sweetwater utilize a big second quarter and a huge special teams break to take a 21-12 lead into the locker room at the break.  And a second half that saw Wall grab the early momentum and complete a 30-0 tally after the half to win going away, 42-21, spoiling Sweetwater’s homecoming in the Mustang Bowl.  

Reid Robertson had nine receptions for 152 yards and one score and Landon York threw for 312 yards to lift Wall (4-1) which overcame a 22-6 deficit with 36 unanswered points (including the last touchdown of the first half).

Sweetwater, which lost standout running back Korda Moore to a first-half injury, dropped to 2-3. 

“It was just kids stepping up and doing a super job of competing,” first-year Wall coach Craig Slaughter said. “The score right before the half picked our energy back up and our defense was great. But Korda Moore is a special player and it’s a little different defending them when he’s not there.”
