Entering the game with Midland Lee, Odessa High had already clinched
the District 2-5A crown. The Rebels, on the other hand, needed
the win just to claim the district's fourth playoff spot.
Lee's defense kept the high octane Broncho offense in check and
claimed a 21-14 victory in Grande Communications Stadium.
The Rebels took their opening
drive 75 yards down the field on 15 plays. Jace Edwards capped
it off with a 15-yard touchdown run to take an early 7-0 lead.
The Bronchos matched the score with Derrick Teegarden hitting wide
receiver Johnny Campos on a slant across the middle that went for 19
yards. On the final play of the first quarter, running back
Ivan Subia ran into the end zone from the 2-yard line to tie the
game. Edwards was just 5-of-9 for 95 yards passing, but 69 of
it came on a touchdown pass to wide receiver Gilbert Gutierrez with
10:39 remaining in the first half. After an exchange of
turnovers, the Rebels toted a 13-7 lead into the locker room.
The Broncho offense showed some life when Tyler
McQueen pulled in a 10-yard touchdown pass from Teegarden to give
OHS a 14-13 lead. Lee running back Austin Jumper added 84
yards on 14 carries and completed a pass to Edwards for a two-point
conversion on Lee’s final touchdown. Teegarden was 15-for-22
for 115 yards and one touchdown, while rushing for 44 yards on seven
carries. Edwards rushed 22 times for 175 yards and two
touchdowns. Lee moves on to play El Paso Coronado in the
bi-district round of the playoffs at Grande.
