Mountain View used a spirited second half to defeat Buena and move above .500 on Friday night.

The Mountain Lions (3-2) shut down the Colts offense and scored the final 16 points of the game to win 22-12.

Myles Williams broke a tie at 12 with a 37-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. Two plays later, the Lions’ Andre Peterson sacked Billy Grant in the end zone for a safety to cap the scoring.

Williams rushed 14 times for 83 yards; teammate Eric Davis had 206 yards on 27 carries.

“Eric did a good job,” Williams said. “They gave it to him a lot early on, then late in the game they gave me the ball and told me to be a power back.”

Buena led 6-0 at the end of the first quarter, but the Mountain Lions tied it with a C.J. Evenson 1-yard quarterback sneak early in the second quarter.

The ensuing drive saw Buena march up the field to retake the lead. DeChe Miburn caught a jump ball and rumbled 45 yards, and Grant later found Ryan Witt for a 10-yard touchdown pass to give the Colts a 12-6 halftime lead.

Mountain View tied the game on its second drive of the third quarter.

Davis burst through the line for a 24-yard gain and two plays later Evenson hit Williams on a 12-yard slant pass.

Davis added a 35-yard run that got the Mountain Lions down to the 3-yard line, where Evenson capped it off on the next play with a quarterback draw for the tying score.

“They competed and came back in the second half,” said Mountain View coach Paul Schmidt.

Mountain View outgained the Colts 413-130, holding Buena to 18 yards on the ground. The Mountain Lions racked up 295 rushing yards.

This blog page archives the entire digital archive of the Tucson Citizen from 1993 to 2009. It was gleaned from a database that was not intended to be displayed as a public web archive. Therefore, some of the text in some stories displays a little oddly. Also, this database did not contain any links to photos, so though the archive contains numerous captions for photos, there are no links to any of those photos.

There are more than 230,000 articles in this archive.
