Bandera 28, Ingram Tom Moore 21
Ingram Tom Moore High School had chances on Friday night to overcome visiting Bandera but couldn't convert critical possession into scores in a 28-21 loss non-district loss.
The Warriors intercepted Bandera quarterback Dylan Peace four times and recovered a fumble, but Ingram couldn't convert it into points. The Warriors defense proved stout against the run, but when Peace wasn't tossing picks, he was completing passes. The senior quarterback threw three touchdowns, including 94 and 82-yard scoring strikes to receiver Jeffry Thomas, who finished with 10 catches for 273 yards.
Ingram trailed the entire game, but tied it in the first quarter on a 2-yard touchdown run by Kye Hightower, who rushed for 85 yards. Hightower has scored touchdowns in 14 consecutive games during his Ingram career.
Bandera held a 14-7 lead at halftime and extended it to 21-7 on its first possession of the second half. After a Peyton Middleton interception, Hightower connected on a 48-yard bomb to Maxon Driggers to put the Warriors with a touchdown with 5:23 left in the third quarter.
Peace connected with Thomas on the Bulldogs next possession — this time an 82-yard pass. Peace finished the night 19-of-31 with 392 passing yards.
Ingram had one final scoring drive, this time thanks to a major Bandera penalty on Hightower and when quarterback Logan Spalding connected with Bowdoin Zipp on a 31-yard play that put the Warriors on Bandera's 2. On the next play, Andres Boites punched it in to cut the lead to 28-21.
However, that was a close as the Warriors would get. Ingram is now 0-2 on the season and faces Comfort on the road next week.
