The seventh-grade Ponies took care of business versus Prairie View, earning a 20-6 win. Cole Mathes paced the Ponies on the ground, picking up 182 yards rushing on 17 carries to go along with 2 touchdowns. Quarterback Kyser Nemecek added 49 total yards, going 5 /6 through the air for 20 yards. Mathes also led the defense with 7 tackles and a sack. Shaun McLaughlin complimented Mathes on the Pony defense adding 3 tackles and a sack. 

“I am proud of the boys with the big win,” head coach Scott Ellis said. “I thought we did a lot better job tonight on blocking and moving the sticks. Defense did their job allowing only 6 points. This game was big for us tonight. Prairie View is a tough team to battle.”
