Final Stats

CANYON, Texas - On a clear night in front of nearly 1,000 fans at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium, the West Texas A&M football team put an exclamation point on its spring practice schedule with the White squad pounding the Maroon team in the annual Maroon & White Spring Game, 30-3.

Junior quarterback Keith Null led the White team, completing 10-of-15 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns. Null's night was highlighted by a 61-yard touchdown pass to junior wideout Charly Martin with 10:50 left in the fourth quarter.

Martin finished the game leading all receivers with 96 total yards and two touchdowns. Keithon Fleming, who is among three players competing for the starting running back spot, started the scoring for the White team with a 31-yard rush in the first quarter. The final touchdown came on a 49-yard pass from Taylor Harris to Preston Branch.

The Maroon team's only mark on the scoreboard came on a Jon Roberts 28-yard field goal at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Quarterback Brody Conner posted a solid second half for the Maroon squad to finish with 122 yards passing by completing 18-of-28 attempts.

The Buffs will return to practice field next fall as they prepare to defend back-to-back Lone Star Conference championships during the 2007 season, which begins with a match up against Humboldt State on Aug. 26.
