Sierra Vista's Akil Sharp and Garland Latham combined for 344 yards rushing and five touchdowns to lead the Mountain Lions (2-2, 1-0 Southwest) to a 41-22 victory over host Western (0-3, 0-1) on Friday.

Sharp rushed for 223 yards on 21 carries and scored three times, including a 60-yard run on Sierra Vista’s first play. Latham finished with 121 yards on 14 carries.

Western’s Brian Mickel answered Sharp’s run with a 60-yard touchdown on the Warriors’ opening play to cut the Sierra Vista lead to 7-6.

But Sierra Vista scored 34 unanswered points.
