The Red Raiders scored first on an 83 yard pick six by safety Jenoah McKiver. The PAT failed.
Early in the second quarter Southwest capped a drive with receiver DeAnthony Butchee catching a 25 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jaden Rogers. The Cowboys led 7-6 with 11 minutes remaining in the quarter. On the ensuing kickoff Andrews took three plays capped off by a 50-yard halfback option scoring strike to Christopher Baker from AJ Herndon. The two- point conversion was good making the score 14-7.
Over the next five minutes the Cowboys’ quarterback Rogers threw two touchdowns: one to Quantez Poche for 12 yards and Butchee caught his second of the half making the score 21-14.
Southwest took the second half kickoff and marched 88 yards, capped off by Rodney Scott’s short touchdown run lifting the score to 28-14.
The Cowboys were led by Rogers, who completed 16-of-26 passes for 240 yards and a touchdown. Butchee added seven catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns while Scott had seven rushes for 39 yards and a touchdown.
Both coaches will have their teams working on fundamentals as they combined for 23 penalties totaling 253 yards.
