Longhorns finally get on board, earn Southwest’s No. 3 seed
It took until the fourth quarter, but Legacy finally got on the board Thursday night and held on for a 14-6 win over host Shadow Ridge, earning the No. 3 seed in the Southwest League.
Legacy broke the scoreless tie with 7:55 left as Tanoa Alapati found D’Angelo Lindsey from 20 yards out to cap a 16-play, 77-yard drive that ate up more than eight minutes. After a Shadow Ridge punt, DeMichael Walker gave the Longhorns insurance as he burst untouched up the middle for a 37-yard touchdown on Legacy’s next offensive play.
Shadow Ridge got on the board on its next possession as Elijah Quintoa found a wide-open De-Zhon Rogers for a 35-yard score. The Mustangs did not get the ball back, however, as Legacy ran out the remaining 4:37 to end the game.
Walker rushed for a game-high 119 yards on 25 carries for Legacy (3-6, 2-2 Southwest). Dominick Wilson paced Shadow Ridge (3-6, 1-3) with 63 yards on 15 carries.
