The Mavericks definitely did not disappoint their fans by fighting throughout the contest. The Mavs were first to strike on the score board with a touchdown early in the first quarter by QB Julio Ruiz, making the score 6 to 0 after a botched extra point. 

  The Eagles countered soon after with an interception which gave them great field position resulting in a score by Eagle QB Ricky Medina in the second quarter making it 7 to 6. 

  The Eagles once again found the end zone in the third quarter with a pass to Ricky Reyes putting them up 14 to 6. 

  Just as the Maverick fans were getting restless, the Mavs put together a drive ending in a Ruben Esquivel score on a reverse which left the Eagle defense on their heels making the score 14 to 12 after a failed two-point conversion. 

  Eagle Jose Riojas extended their lead in the fourth quarter with a touchdown clinching the game for the Eagles with a score of 21 to 12.
