BLACKWATER DRAW, NM — Neal Carr’s four-yard touchdown run with seven seconds left in the opening half gave 13th-ranked Midwestern State (8-3; LSC 3-2) a 17-10 lead it would not relinquish, as the Mustangs overcame a 403-yard, two-touchdown effort from Eastern New Mexico University quarterback J.J. Harp (So., QB, Argyle, Texas/Argyle HS) on the way to defeating the Greyhounds (2-8; LSC 0-6) by a 50-17 score in Lone Star Conference action, on a late Halloween night at Greyhound Stadium.
After the Mustangs took a 10-3 lead on a seven-yard touchdown run from BeeJay Mathis and a 34-yard field goal from Jose Martinez, the Hounds evened the game up at 10-all on a two-yard touchdown grab from Chase Kyser (Fr., WR, Roswell, N.M./Goddard HS). With 1:22 remaining in the opening half, Matt Ellerbrock sacked Harp and recovered the ensuing fumble at the ENMU 20-yard line, setting up the go-ahead score.
Midwestern pulled away in the second half, outscoring the Hounds 33-7 top provide the final margin. Dominic Preston (So., WR, College Station, Texas/A&M Consolidated HS)Nathan Uland (Jr., LB, Denton, Texas/Ryan HS) caught eight passes for Eastern for 93 yards and a touchdown, while Mathis rushed for 100 yards for MSU. Zack Eskridge passed for 365 yards for Midwestern. Defensively, ENMU’s made a game-high 17 tackles and recovered a fumble, while three MSU defenders had eight stops each.
The Greyhounds will conclude their season next week against Incarnate Word, while Midwestern State will face Abilene Christian.
