West Mesquite and Poteet renewed their rivalry on Thursday, and early on, the 34th installment had all the makings of a shootout, as they combined for 28 points in the first quarter alone.

The scoring slowed in the second quarter, but few would have thought that Nestor Leon’s 37-yard field goal to close out the half would be the final points of the night.

But that is exactly what happened, as both defenses relied on their adjustments to stop the other and the Wranglers were perfectly content with it as that meant they held on for a 17-14 victory at Mesquite Memorial Stadium.
