Garrett added another score in the third and Brewer hooked up with Danny Trittler from 42 yards out to make the score 42-0 in the 3rd and clearly in control.

Horizon finally got on the board when Matt Jones rushed for a score. Chaparral's Brendan Murphy returned the kickoff 91 yards for Chap's final score. Nate Defreitas had a short rushing TD late in the game for Horizon.

Final 49-13 Chaparral

Bottomline

Chaparral was just more explosive. As of right now, they look like the only team that can compete with Centennial in 5A2. They have a big o-line, two sound RBs, their receivers are coming along, they are getting good play from a young QB and they play good defense.

Horizon is a much improved team from last year.

Game Ball
