Caprock drops 2-5A D-I opener to Lubbock Coronado
The Caprock Longhorns showed some of their real strengths Thursday night in their District 2-5A Division I opener at Dick Bivins Stadium.
Unfortunately, they also showed some things which have been cause for concern.
Caprock and Lubbock Coronado engaged in a defensive struggle which was tied heading into the fourth quarter. In the end, though, Coronado came up with the necessary offense, scoring two fourth quarter touchdowns to defeat Caprock 21-7.
The Longhorns (1-4, 0-1 in district) did their part defensively as expected, giving up only 220 yards of offense. However, the struggles of the offense continued, as they only managed 166 total yards.
Caprock’s lone score came late in the third quarter, when Zayden Ramirez scored on a 7-yard run to tie it 7-7. But Coronado quarterback Dom Parrish provided two scores in the fourth quarter to make the difference, scoring on a 3-yard run to give the Mustangs (2-3, 1-0) the lead and clinching it with a 32-yard scoring pass to Surreal Garrett, the second scoring connection between the two on the evening.
