CROSBY – In their second game of the season, the Crosby Cougars delivered an exciting game for their fans, with an OT win of 27-21 against the Fort Bend Marshall Buffaloes from Missouri City.

The Cougars were determined to win after a demoralizing loss last week to CE King of 63-7.

The win was even more remarkable since the Cougars were playing with eight of their varsity team members not participating, according to head coach Jerry Prieto.

The game was tied at the end with a score of 21-21 after Crosby scored on a touchdown pass from QB #10 Cyrin Myles to #13 Kade Eudy.

Then in the overtime period, running back #14 Levi Fontenot broke through the line and went untouched for the winning touchdown. The six points made the final 27-21. Fontenot’s game stats were 20 carried for a total of 93 yards. His longest carry was 39 yards.

QB Myles was 7 for 13 passing with a total of 79 yards and 3 TDs (one rushing).

The next game is Friday night at home against R. L. Lee Ganders.
