White downs Blue in UTSA Football Fiesta Spring Game

SAN ANTONIO — Frank Harris passed for 66 yards and ran for 47 more to lead the White to a 20-7 victory over the Blue in the UTSA Football Fiesta Spring Game on Saturday afternoon at Dub Farris Athletic Complex.

Harris completed 8 of 11 passes and his 47 rushing yards came on just six carries (7.8 avg). The Schertz Clemens High School product's favorite target was Sheldon "Sticks" Jones, who hauled in five passes for 43 yards.

Meanwhile, Cordale Grundy threw for 40 yards on 6 of 11 passing for the White and the senior signal caller added 23 yards on the ground.

Brenden Brady rushed for 40 yards on six totes for the White, while Jaylon Haynes paced the defense with 3.5 tackles, including a pair behind the line of scrimmage, and Clayton Johnson picked off two passes.

Harris helped set up the game's first score with a 42-yard quarterback keeper down the right sideline all the way to the Blue 3-yard line. The Blue defense held stiff and forced a 29-yard field goal by Hunter Duplessis early in the second quarter.

With time winding down in the first half, Grundy found Tariq Woolen on a corner route for a 12-yard touchdown completion. Duplessis' extra point made it 10-0 at the break.

The Blue team used a trick play to get on the board on the opening play of the second half. Carrington Kearney received the kick and then a lateral across the field to Brett Winnegan, who weaved his way 88 yards to paydirt to make it 10-7.

Cassius Grady picked off a pass near midfield three plays later, Grundy scampered 19 yards to set up the White at the Blue 4-yard line. Grundy kept on the next snap and Duplessis booted another extra point to make it 17-7.

Duplessis split the uprights from 32 yards early in the fourth quarter to extend the White lead to 20-7. That kick was set up by a 13-yard pass from Harris to Brenden Brady.

Following the game, UTSA handed out its annual spring practice awards.
