“They (Lampasas) played mostly seniors out there,” Burnet coach Doyle Walker said. “We had several sophomores. It makes a big difference. We have to go through some growing pains.”
Burnet scored on their first possession.
Quarterback Weston Cozby faked left and passed right to wide receiver Blaine Posey to complete a 15-yard touchdown. Kicker Austin Huff booted the point-after touchdown.
Halfback Zach Maldonado helped set up the score with a 22-yard run on a backfield reverse.
