Cheyenne's Myloe Lewis scored on a dazzling 85-yard screen play and two touchdown runs, and the Desert Shields (2-0) held on to beat host Cimarron-Memorial (0-1) 26-19 on Friday in the “Duel in the Desert.”

Lewis took a short pass from Demetrius Jones, weaved through the Cimarron defense and down the left sideline for a first-quarter touchdown. He ran for a 21-yard score in the second quarter and a 27-yarder in the third, and finished with 111 yards on 24 carries.

Cheyenne took a 26-7 lead with 10:50 to play on Daiquan Slater’s 3-yard run, three plays after the Desert Shields recovered a fumble deep in Spartans territory.

Senior Justin Davis (121 yards, 25 carries) fueled a Cimarron comeback, running for two late touchdowns, and the Spartans recovered an onside kick with just over two minutes to play. They advanced to the Cheyenne 21 before a sack and interception ended the threat.
