The Estrella Foothills Wolves defeated Winslow last Friday night to improve their record to 3-2 while the Bulldogs fell to 2-3.
After a 45-minute delay due to weather the game finally got under way. The first quarter was scoreless; although the Bulldogs had several opportunities, they were unable to get points on the board.
Midway through the second quarter, Estrella quarterback Jared Fleming connected with Branden Leon on an 80-yard pass for the first touchdown of the game. With the extra point, the Wolves took the lead 7-0. With less than two minutes to go in the half Fleming found Austin Sullivan on a 40-yard pass and with the kick good, the Wolves took a 14-0 lead into the locker room.
In the third quarter it was Estrella Foothills with another 16-yard pass to Sullivan for the TD and point after, then Fleming to Sullivan for another 30-yard pass for the touchdown. With the point after, the score moved to 28-0. Not done yet in the quarter, Sullivan moved into the end zone once again on a 16-yard pass. The extra point was good and the Wolves ended the quarter up 35-0.
The fourth quarter’s only scoring was on a Bulldog fumble, which was picked up by Wolves defender Tyler Adams, who ran it 75 yards for a touchdown. Once again the point after was good and Estrella Foothills had a 42-0 victory over Winslow.
Winslow will travel to Window Rock on Thursday, Oct. 2, to meet the Scouts. Kickoff will be at 6 p.m. (MST).
