With just under four minutes left to play, Wrook Brown took a hand off on third down and 14 at the China Spring 37 and went outside his left tackle for a 27 yard jaunt to set up the Eagles for a first and goal.
Ultimately, it was the nail in the coffin of the 4A Div. 2 #6 team in state. The Eagles led by just seven points with four minutes to play, not enough with a team as explosive as China Spring. But with a first down at the Cougars’ 10 yard line, Alan Haire’s Eagles offense continued its grind.
Caden Strickland got five yards, followed by a two-yard dive by quarterback Hutton Haire. A facemask call moved it to the Cougar 1 yard line and a first down. Next play, Noah Mescher dove in for the touchdown with 2:40 left in the game. Brown’s kick gave the Eagles a comfortable 28-14 lead. Salado would hold on to win the game by that margin to improve to 7-1 on the year and 3-0 in District play, sitting alone at the top of District.
Bend, but don’t break.
The Salado Eagles defense did just that as it held an explosive Waco Connally offense to two touchdowns and a field goal as Salado took a 20-15 win from Mac People Stadium to sit at the top of District 8-4A Div. 2 along with the China Spring Cougars with 2-0 records.
Salado Eagles scored on all but one of its possessions and the stingy defense kept the Taylor Ducks on their side of the field for all but two of their possessions in a dominating 49-3 non-district football win Sept. 25.
