Wichita Falls, the no. 1 rated team in the state, found Longview a stubborn customer Friday night but Larry Shields led the Coyotes to a 27-6 victory although out gained by the visitors.

Longview scored on a 75-yard drive, with Robert Meyers going the last 10.

Larry Shields then ran 41 yards to a touchdown and iced the game for the Coyotes.

In the fourth period, Mike Kelly went three yards to a touchdown after Jim Hull had intercepted a Longview pass and ran back 31 yard.

Longview rolled up 249 yards rushing and passing to 238 for Wichita Falls.
