Although the Muleshoe Mules defeated Brownfield Cubs 45-22 Friday night at Cubs Stadium, Muleshoe coach David Wood saw a score much closer and nerve-racking than it should have been.
“It could have been way before the first drive of the second half,” Wood said. “It could have been over way before that.”
Starting the non-district matchup, Muleshoe (2-1) made two early trips to Cub territory in the first quarter, but an interception and a fumble past the 20-yard line halted the Mules’ potent drives.
