Southwest 26, Valley 15--Nathaniel Harrison returned two punts for touchdowns and the Cougars (5-3, 3-2) won a WSC Southern Division game at Valley.
Harrison scored on returns of 40 and 85 yards, giving Southwest a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.
The Monarchs (4-4, 3-2) struggled on offense for most of the game and committed four turnovers.
