MOUNTAIN CREST 28, BEAR RIVER 14

GARLAND — In a game that was postponed to Saturday afternoon due to lightning storms on Friday, Mountain Crest ensured Bear River finished with a winless regular season for the first time since 1950 by beating the Bears 28-14.

The game was tied 7-7 at halftime thanks to the Bears’ (0-9, 0-5 Region 11) Wyatt Roberts returning a punt for a score. BR quarterback Owen Olsen threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Gage Hansen to tie the score 14-14 in the third quarter, but the Mustangs controlled affairs after that.

BR now awaits its playoff seed and who it will face in the 4A state playoffs.
