by Cody Coil, Big Country Blitz magazine ABILENE, Texas – Team Red used a big third quarter to pull away from Team Blue and pick up a 28-10 victory in the 2022 Myrle Greathouse Big Country All-Star Classic Saturday evening at Shotwell Stadium. Red head coach Blake Weston (Sonora) said the victory wrapped up the week perfectly. “It’s been great all week. It’s very challenging to try to get an offense and defense set in three or four days but these kids are great. It’s nice to just pour into them and just be with them. That’s been the best part.” “You forget how long it takes to get ready to be a good tackler and be able to do some things defensively," joked Blue head coach Casey Pearce (Breckenridge). "If you can throw it and catch it right now, you’re probably in better shape than the defense because we didn’t get many tackle reps during the week.” Red certainly did throw the ball around the stadium, racking up 341 total yards (206 passing and 135 rushing) in the victory. Blue picked up 278 yards, 199 through the air and 79 on the ground. The game was clean as well, with no interceptions or fumbles for either squad. After a scoreless first quarter the Blue team opened the scoring with a 21-yard field goal from Corbin Poston (Stephenville) early in the second to go up 3-0.
