Desert Oasis claims first football victory
At Pahrump, junior Brennen Stott threw three touchdown passes, two to Elijah Mitchell, to lead Desert Oasis (1-1) past the Trojans (1-1), 27-0, for the first-year school’s initial football victory.
Mitchell broke a scoreless tie with a 45-yard touchdown reception with 5:12 left in the third quarter. Desert Oasis went 91 yards in four plays on the drive after an interception stopped Pahrump Valley’s best threat of the night. The Trojans had recovered a fumble at the Diamondbacks’ 16 but could not take advantage.
On its next possession, Desert Oasis needed only two plays to score after a short punt gave it the ball at the Pahrump Valley 43. Stott tossed a 25-yard touchdown pass to Colin Maestas.
Stott and Mitchell hooked up again in the fourth quarter for a 6-yard touchdown. Robert Hunt capped the scoring with a 60-yard punt return TD.
