Westwood falls to Brownsboro 40-20

PALESTINE — Brownsboro used the throwing of Shelby Rogers and the running of Johntae Walker and company to coast to a 40-20 victory over Westwood Friday night to spoil the Panthers' homecoming festivities.

Rogers completed 10 of 16 passes for 162 yards, while Walker gained 138 yards on 16 carries to pace Brownboro's 362-yard rushing attack.

Brownsboro led, 21-6, at the intermission, but put the game away in the third quarter by scoring on all three of its drives in the stanza to surge ahead, 40-6, heading into the fourth quarter.

With Brownsboro fielding a combination of reserves and regulars, Westwood scored a pair of touchdowns in the game’s final 4 1/2 minutes — one on a 2-yard run by Aaryon Robinson and the other on a 17-yard run by Keke Hicks in the waning seconds — to pull within, 40-20.

Brownsboro racked up 530 total yards offense (362 on the ground and 168 through the air), compared to 261 for Westwood.

Brownsboro used a pair of fourth-down conversions to score on two of its opening three possessions to jump out to a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter.

On the game’s opening drive, the Bears faced fourth-and-13 from the Panther 31, but quarterback Rogers rolled right, pumped once and then found Tyler Thomison open at the goal line for a Brownsboro touchdown with 7:50 still left in the first quarter.

Cesar Gutierrez, who was true on all three of his first-half PATs, drilled the extra point to put the Bears in front, 7-0.

After Westwood’s Hicks was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-10 from the Bear 35, Brownsboro took over at that point two plays into the second quarter.

The Bears then extended their lead to 14-0 by driving 64 yards on eight plays, with a key play being a 28-yard completion from Rogers-to-Thomison on fourth-and-7 to the Panther 7.

Two plays later, Rogers scored on a 1-yard keeper as Brownsboro was rolling, 14-0, with 10:17 left until the intermission.

Westwood responded with a six-play, 62-yard drive of its own highlighted by a pair of Chris Thompson-to-Hicks connections, a 16-yard run by freshman Trey Jenkins and a 15-yard facemask penalty against Brownsboro.

Facing second-and-9 from the Bear 23, Thompson avoided a Brownsboro defender and found Hicks alone at the goal line for the Panthers’ lone touchdown of the opening half.

Pedro Umanzor’s PAT was off the mark as Westwood had trimmed Brownboro’s advantage to 14-6 with 7:12 remaining until the intermission.

Brownsboro, however, immediately answered the brief Panther uprising by covering 60 yards on nine plays on its ensuing drive.

Off an inside fake, Rogers scored on a 3-yard keeper as the Bears extended their lead to 21-6 with 4:03 still left until halftime.

Brownsboro dominated the first half statistically, finishing with 278 total yards offense to just 88 for Westwood.

Rogers was particularly lethal through the air, completing 10-of-15 first-half attempts for 162 yards.

Brownsboro 7 14 19 0 — 40

Westwood 0 6 0 14 — 20
