COMFORT – The Comfort football team ran into a buzzsaw Friday night when they hosted No. 9 stateranked Lexington at Bobcat Stadium in their final home game of the season.
The Eagles were coming off their only loss of the year to Blanco last week and looked like they had something to prove. Lexington scored early and often as they went on to defeat the Bobcats, 62-0.
Comfort slips to 2-6 overall and 0-3 in district and is out of the playoff mix. The Bobcats close out the regular season Friday at Blanco, the team that handed Lexington its only loss.
The Eagles were up 21-0 at the end of the first quarter after Kase Evans tossed TD passes of 14, 48 and 58 yards.
Lexington tacked on four more touchdowns in the second period, the first with another Evans touchdown pass, while Evans also took it to the house on a 48-yard gallop.
Mason Biehle and Noah Harris both added TD runs of 57 and 13 yards for the 48-0 halftime lead.
Biehle finished with 2 catches that both went for touchdowns and he scored on his only run of the night in a very efficient effort.
Three of Lexington’s touchdowns came on 1-play drives in the first half. The other first-half scoring drives took them 6, 3, 5 and 4 plays, which means they tallied seven TDs on 21 plays.
About the only thing Lexington did wrong was miss an extra point on their fifth TD of the night.
Once the second half started, things moved pretty quickly with a running clock but the Eagles still managed two more touchdowns and added 14 points to their final score.
Evans threw his fifth touchdown pass of the night and then the Eagles capped the scoring in the fourth with a 43-TD run by Kaiden Chappel.
Evans was 13 for 18 through the air for 319 yards to go with his 5 touchdowns. Comfort didn’t score in the game, but it didn’t help that they were without their leading rusher Topper Sterling after the running back was injured last week and wasn’t able to suit up Friday.
Lexington rolled to 556 yards from scrimmage with 319 of those yards on the ground, while Comfort tallied 58 rushing and 64 passing yards for 122 total yards in the game and most of that coming in the second half.
Carter Pape finished with 35 passing yards and Omar Rivera added 29 yards through the air, while Hunter Ledlow led the team in rushing with 34 yards on 6 carries. Rivera added 13 ground yards and Evan Valadez managed 11 rushing yards.
Ledlow also tallied 35 receiving yards and Gio Lopez had 2 catches for 29 yards.
