our chances, but we fumbled in The Red Zone,” said Eagle Offensive Coordinator Javier Cardenas. “We actually moved the ball close to 400 yards of total offense, we just couldn’t score.” The Longhorns however did score, and on their first possession with a 30 yard TD pass from QB Wayo Huerta to WR Chris Fine for the initial Longhorn tally, the Yahid Peña extra point was good, 7-0 United. But the Eagles would strike back with an almost 60 yard run up the middle by DeeAndre Torres. The Jose Riojas extra point was also good to tie things up. “On our second drive we moved down the field, but fumbled on the nine and they got it back,” said Cardenas. “Then in the second quarter we three and outed, then on our next possession, we drove all the way to the 20, but missed a 24 yard field goal and we went to halftime tied at seven.” The Longhorns would then come back and score more points, some off of Eagle miscues like the interception return for a touchdown by defensive back Oscar Villarreal on a bubble screen intended for former News Gram Player Of The Week Norby Zavala for 30 yards for the second United score. “They were out to stop our run,” said United Head Coach David Sanchez, “We saw a lot of man coverage, so we took advantage of that. We moved Chris Fine around some for matchup purposes and it worked. That is an understatement as Fine would score again on another TD reception, this time from 34 yards out to go up 21-7. Fine would score again on another TD reception, this time from 34 yards out to go up 21-7. Then a field goal by Yahid Peña, this from 26 yards out made it 24-7. Fine would strike again from 39 yards to make it 31-7, then it was Longhorn running back Isaac Velasquez from seven to extend the lead to 31-7. “In the second half, we could not score,” added Cardenas. “We failed to convert several fourth downs.” The Eagles managed to scratch out another score late on a screen pass to Ralph Guerrero from DeeAndre Torres, but United would add another to the Chris Fine Power Hour with an eight yard pass for a TD to close out the game. “Offensively we had 148 yards rushing and 3-2 yards passing so I thought that was good,” said Sanchez. “It was a good game until we broke it open with big plays.” The Eagles can still clinch a share of the district championship with a win over Southwest here on Thursday while the Longhorns face el Rio in Laredo, Eagle Pass’ next opponent.
