MASON — In this era of pass-happy offenses, the smashmouth run-oriented Mason Punchers are a throwback to when Texas schoolboy football teams were measured by how well they ran the football.
The throwbacks … or the Punchers, ran very well on Friday night.
Mason seniors Luke Tharp and Slade Buell combined for 585 yards and eight touchdowns rushing as the Class 2A Division I No. 2-ranked Punchers beat the previously undefeated Class 3A DI Ingram Moore Warriors 55-34 at the Puncherdome.
