West has an easy time against US Grant

In a game where Putnam City West could name their score, they chose 35.

The visiting U. S. Grant team is not very talented - especially for a 6A team. The two best plays they could come up with were a 26-yard pass competition in the fourth quarter and a 15-yard penalty by West for running into the punter in the second period.

Putnam City West, on the other hand, chose to generally run the ball into the middle of the Generals' line. They did open the game in a dramatic way as Daniel Farrow ran 51 yards for a Patriots; touchdown on the opening snap of the game.

West followed that with a 52-yard, 8-play drive that ended with a 3-yard run for a touchdown by Cooper Hahn. The key play in the possession was a 23-yard run by Farrow.

The Patriots' third possession ended like the first two - another touchdown and the extra point kick by Greg Diaz.

Starting at Grant's 33-yard line, the Pats needed only five plays to reach the end zone with a 3-yard run into the line by their quarterback, Bryce Stout.

West led 21-0 - and this was still in the first quarter.

Again Putnam City West methodically moved the ball downfield. Staring at their 11-yard line, West needed just 9 plays to score. The drive was capped by Brandon Carter's 26-yard touchdown run.

Leading by 28 with 1:50 on the clock, West started their final possession of the first half at the Generals' 40. The Patriots' could have easily scored, but chose to grind the ball into the line. Their drive moved to the 3-yard line as the half ended.

West led, 28-0.

The second half went fast - really fast, because of the running clock both coaches agreed to use.

Grant had three possessions in the second half, while West had only two.

The only second half scoring came on an 11-minute, 19-play drive over 72 yards. Backup quarterback Randall Hamilton went the final yard for the touchdown.

Putnam City West showed their class in holding the score to 35-0.
