SC moved its record to a perfect 7-0 overall and 4-0 in 10- 5A Division I. With Angleton's road victory over Foster on Saturday, the Sharks moved into sole possession of first place in the district.
Unlike their previous three league encounters, though, Shadow Creek dodged more than a few bullets with a pair of touchdowns being called back because of penalties. The Mustangs also converted two Shark fumbles into scores.
Friendswood missed a 21- yard field goal to spoil almost a seven-minute drive on their opening series, as well, while junior lineman Alec Bryant thwarted another Mustangs’ scoring chance with a fourth-down sack deep in Sharks’ territory.
Kealon Jackson turned a short pass from Kyron Drones into a 61-yard catch-and-run to get SC on the board first with 5:08 left in the opening period. Greg Ezechukwu booted the extra point through the uprights for a 7-0 Sharks’ lead.
Jackson collected five receptions for 100 yards in the contest.
The Mustangs took advantage of a fumbled hand-off exchange by the SC offense and Dane Roenne rumbled 18 yards to the end zone early in the second quarter. Friendswood missed the PAT, though, and Marquez Huland exploded for a 75-yard scoring dash on the next series to help the Sharks take a 14-6 advantage at intermission.
Despite experiencing a few more crazy occurrences during the final 24 minutes, Shadow Creek dented the scoreboard twice in the second half and fended off any further Mustang comeback attempts.
Jamrian George fired TD passes to Jared Jackson (29 yards) and Carlton Guidry (59 yards) to increase SC’s lead to 27-12 entering the fourth quarter.
Friendswood pulled within 27-19 on Luke Grden’s 12-yard toss to Zach Zamora with 9:17 remaining and the Mustangs then forced the Sharks to punt the ball away on their ensuing series.
Junior Terreance Ellis delivered a 60-yard punt for the SC special teams, though, to pin the Mustangs deep in their own end, while the defense ultimately held Friendswood on downs in the closing seconds to secure the victory.
Shadow Creek rolled up 446 yards of total offense. Huland rambled for 153 yards on 15 carries and one TD, while George completed 11 of 20 passes for 182 yards and two scores and Drones went 4 of 5 for 84 yards and one TD.
