McCabe, Kingwood top PN-G
Chris McCabe scored a touchdown off a fumble recovery and blocked a punt to lead the Kingwood Mustangs to a 24-17 victory over the Port Neches-Groves Indians in a non-district matchup Friday night at Turner Stadium.
The Indians struck first as Jeff Bergeron rumbled over from one yard out with 6:35 left in the first quarter to ignite the hopes of the Indians.
Then in the second quarter, McCabe scooped up a fumbled snap on a punt and ran for a four-yard touchdown for Kingwood. The Mustangs tacked on another TD just before the half ended with Brad Reed's one-yard touchdown run.
Kindwood began to build its lead in the third quarter, as Mark Murphy scored on a 20-yard run with 7:11 left in the quarter. As the fourth quarter began, Nick Deaville booted a 27-yard field goal for Kingwood and produced a lead that would not be shaken.
Brad Flores scored on 10-yard run and Joey Price kicked a 32-yard field goal for Port Neches-Groves in the final quarter.
