The Ganado Hornets turned in a strong performance to post a 36-21 win over the Kayenta Monument Valley Mustangs, 36-21, in 3A North Region football action.

Kayenta Monument Valley head coach Bryan Begay said every spark we had, resurgence we had, whatevery you want to call, it wasn't enough.

"It wasn't enough," Begay said. "I'll do better with my leadership. You can't leave anything on the table no longer. We left a lot on the table in the minutes after halftime."

Begay said going into the locker room, the message was to just go out there and play the team's brand of football, because if the Mustangs play their brand of football, he doesn't think there's a team out on the field that can beat the Mustangs.

"Unfortunately, we didn't play our brand of football in the first half," Begay said. "We played well in the second half, but we dug a hole in the first half. We can't fumble the ball in the red zone and give a team that opportunities. They controlled the clock with their running game. Theywent our and earned every bit of that victory."

Begay said kudos to the Hornets for a well deserve victory. He said the Hornets fought and played.

Kayenta Monument Valley scored a touchdown in the second quarter. Albrandon Byjoe scored a touchdown from six yards.

In the third quarter, Byjoe connected with Alphonso Mike for a 7 yard touchdown pass.

Andrew Sheppard hauled in a 9 yard touchdown pass from Byjoe for the Mustangs' final score.
