Alexander's typically prolific offense didn't hit its usual highs on Thursday night, but the defense produced its first perfect game as the Bulldogs rolled to a 35-0 victory over the C.C. Winn Mavericks at the SAC.
The Bulldogs improved to 5-1 in District 29-5A play, 6-1 overall. The Mavs fell to 1-5 in district, 1-6 overall.
The Bulldogs scored on their opening two possessions with a pair of Brian Swain touchdown passes and the defense recovered a fumble for a score to make the lead 21-0 just seconds into the second quarter.
The cavalcade of points slowed during the final three quarters, but the outcome was never in doubt.
Swain's performance was a bit shaky as the talented junior quarterback completed 17 of his 33 passes for 272 yards with three touchdowns to one interception, in addition to rushing for 19 yards on six attempts.
Sophomore running back Xavier Skaggs put on an impressive performance, carrying the ball nine times for 60 yards and a score and catching six passes for 119 yards and an additional two touchdowns.
Receiver Alex Bryand also contributed two catches for 35 yards and a score. Daniel Ramos had a pair of receptions for 51 yards and Fernie Garza had four grabs for 50 yards.
The game ball clearly, however, belonged to the Bulldog defense that earned its first shutout of the season.
The defense forced four fumbles, one of which was recovered by defensive back Oscar Cabello at the Mavs' 10-yard line and run in for a score.
Other Bulldogs who had fumble recoveries were Josh Romero, with two, and Jose Sanchez, who also intercepted a pass.
The Bulldogs finished the night with 408 yards of total offense, dwarfing the Mavs' 97.
