Flowing Wells 34, Cholla 19
At Cholla, the Flowing Wells Caballeros (7-0) overcame a sluggish start and a fired-up Cholla team to remain undefeated by pulling away in the second half. Cholla (3-3) scored first on a 43-yard touchdown run by running back Shawn Fontenette. The Cabs responded with a touchdown on their next drive.
Running back Dionte Flores was held in check in the first half. But on his first carry of the second half, he went 80 yards untouched for a score to push Flowing Wells to a 28-6 lead. The game remained physical with several altercations throughout the second half that culminated with the ejection of Flowing Wells senior lineman Alex Armenta in the final minute of the game on a scramble for a fumble.
Caballeros coach Mark Brunenkant said after the game he talked to ref and was told the play in question will be given further review. Flowing Wells hosts Pusch Ridge next Friday night for their homecoming game. Cholla will host Douglas the same night.
