The Marble Falls Mustangs defense couldn't keep up with the Glenn Grizzlies' offense in a 35-22 loss in Leander on Friday.

The Mustangs (1-7, 1-4) scored on their opening possession of each half but failed to continue the success throughout the game.

The first three minutes of the game couldn't have gone better for the visiting team. The Grizzlies (5-3, 4-1) were forced to punt – a net-negative-yardage shank – that gave the Mustangs the ball near midfield.

Senior running back Hayden Wells capped off the short drive with a 17-yard touchdown run to give the Mustangs an early 7-0 lead.
