Marble Falls waited out a four-hour weather delay in its season opener Friday, but the wait was worth it.
The Mustangs showed some rock solid defense and some big-play ability with its offense in a 41-14 victory over Cedar Creek at Mustang Stadium.
The Mustangs outgained Cedar Creek from Bastrop, 490-228 in yards. Cedar Creek was held under 100 yards through the first three quarters.
Marble Falls sophomore Cooper Wilson rushed for 102 yards and scored one touchdown. He also caught two passes for 32 yards.
Wilson scored the game's first touchdown on a 1-yard dive play to end a three-play, 57 drive by the Mustangs.
Sam Harkins turned a sideline pass from Zach Rangel into a 50-yard score to put the Mustangs ahead for good with 3:35 left in the first quarter at 14-7.
Harkins averaged 51 yards a catch on two receptions.
