The United Longhorns turned in another dominant performance Friday night, pouncing on the Nixon Mustangs and running away with a 60-0 District 29-5A victory at the SAC.
The Longhorns remain in first place in district with a flawless 5-0 standing. They’re 5-1 overall.
Nixon fell to 1-4 in district, 1-5 overall.
United scored on seven of its opening eight drives and the Mustangs were held without a first down until the final play of the first half.
The Longhorns pulled a majority of their starters from the lineup at halftime when the lead was 50-0, but that didn’t dilute any of the offensive statistics.
In two quarters of play, star senior quarterback Tony Salas threw for 329 yards and four touchdowns on 13 of 17 passing. At one point, Salas completed 10 consecutive pass attempts, including three straight for touchdowns.
Other United offensive weapons were clicking at full speed as well. Running back Billy Williams III had 125 yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries and wide receiver Nick Fuentes had 111 yards and two touchdowns on two receptions.
The Mustangs never got their offense off the ground against the Longhorn defense. Nixon finished the game with 128 yards of offense compared to United's 582.
Nixon’s offense was led by Ritchie Rendon, who had 36 yards on 15 carries, and Fermin Rendon, who had 38 yards on nine carries.
