Caprock led 28-0 in the first half after multiple turnovers. Once the Westerners shut down their offense, they were able to end the game scoring 42 unanswered points.
Running back Nathan Johnson was the first to score for Lubbock High, when he crossed the goal line to make the score 28-6. The Westerners went into the locker room fresh off a TD pass from Wyatt Morton to Denzel Robbins during the final play of the half.
RB JD Morton took care of business in the fourth quarter when he scored the go-ahead TD.
