Consol uses big second half to remain undefeated, beating Austin Anderson 56-28

AUSTIN, Texas (KBTX) – A&M Consolidated used a big second half to pull away from Austin Anderson Friday night at Nelson Stadium. The Tigers won 56-28, improving to 5-0 on the season and 3-0 in 5A-Division I Region III District 12 play.

The teams were tied at 21 at halftime, but two quick scores in the third quarter by Consol proved to be the difference.

The Tigers opened the scoring on a long touchdown pass from Will Hargett to Darius Roberts.

Consol would take a 21-7 lead with just less than three minutes to play in the first half thanks to a fourth-down trick play. A double-reverse pass saw Hargett open in the end zone for the score.

However, the Trojans would even things up before halftime with a pair of touchdowns from Ed Small. The first coming on a highlight-reel, one-handed catch to make it 21-14. His second interception came as time expired in the half on a interception returned for a touchdown.

Consol pounced in the second half and was able to keep the Trojans at bay, only allowing 7 points.

The Tigers have an open week before hosting Lehman on Oct. 11.
