Strong character leads Mavs to 21-19 win over Sunnyside
MOSES LAKE – The Mavericks’ three defensive stands on a fourth down played a significant role in their 21-19 win over Sunnyside on Friday, with head coach Brett Jay calling the performance character-revealing. “The fourth quarter’s not a time where you build character I believe, I think that’s built throughout the week, throughout the process. Our character was revealed with those fourth-down stops,” Jay said. Junior receiver/defensive back Kyson Thomas, who laid out two big hits on the Grizzlies’ second-to-last drive in Moses Lake territory, shared a similar thought to Jay’s. “I think we found our personality as a team tonight,” Thomas said. “I think it’s just dogs, dog mentality – all of us.”
