Devyn Placeres help the Hawks Offensively and Defensively in Win

In that second half, MV started their first drive throwing an interception and giving Giddings good field position at the Hawks 35 yard line.
Responding with a 4 play defensive stand with their visitors riding on their Buffalo, Mountain Valley, only needed one more omega possession for the win.

With a motion penalty after getting the first down, Mountain Valley would find themselves needing 12 yards on a 4th down play at their 42 yard line.
With a Jacob Reese throw to a streaking Placeres the Hawks would travel 25 yards on their only completion of the game that set the Hawks up Buffaloes 33 yard line.
Go Mountain Valley Hawks
That was the turning point of the game since not being successful could have set Giddings in prime position for a chance to win.
Derrick Grier would get the 4 running plays covering 26 yards and Mountain Valley with a first down on Giddings 7 yard line.
Placeres would take the next handoff all 7 yards for the winning touchdown, after a Grier two point run and Hawk, 14-06 lead.
