The 2 pt conversion was good. Now with OLOR on offense, QB Beto Santos, who had one his best games of the season for the Raiders, showed extraordinary balance of attack by returning punts, handing the ball off to running back Noe Guerrero, and again connecting with WR Nicolas Montemayor for another TD. But the one play in the Red Zone, which caught everyone by surprise and a backbreaker for the Eagles, was a quick center pass play called “Zero Lion” to none other than Raider Center Victor Rodriguez with only 0:17 secs left on the clock in the 3rd Quarter. The crowd went wild! So at the beginning of the 4th Quarter it was Raiders 26 Eagles 14. The objective for the Raiders was to continue and move the chains and keep the clock running. On a 3rd and 8 play, QB Lazaro Villarreal rolled right and found Raider Tight End Jaime Garza who had been hot for the team leading up to the Championship game. Coach Rodriguez felt like he couldn’t avoid the hot routes of Garza as QB Villarreal struck him once again for the ultimate “nail in the coffin” touchdown. The 2 pt conversion run was good by Lazaro Villarreal. The game referees stopped the game at the final 2 minute warning with the 18 point lead rule in effect as the Our Lady of Refuge School Raiders beat the Liberty Elementary School Eagles by a score of 34-14.

The OLOR Raiders and the Liberty Eagles squared off for the outright championship of the 2012 City of Eagle Pass Post-Season Tournament held at legendary Chelo's Field at Fort Duncan. Coach Orly Rodriguez' charges were still stinging from the regular season finale which left the Eagles on top and were looking for some payback on this day. Raiders won the toss and elected to defer to the second half. After a solid stop on the first two downs, the Liberty Eagles connected with a sound play action touchdown pass to OJ Ruiz for 40 yds. The 2 pt conversion was no good. In the second quarter, Raider Quarterback Beto Santos scrambled in the backfield and avoided a heavy Eagle blitz and connected with a wide open Raiders Wide receiver Nicolas Montemayor for an easy 25 yard touchdown catch. Again, the 2 pt conversion was no good. That kept the score 6-6 after a hard fought 1st half which displayed plenty of resilience defensively by both teams which was led mainly by Raider Captain and Safety Lazaro Villarreal and Eagle Captain and Linebacker OJ Ruiz. In the second half, Liberty Eagles struck again with 60 yard fake handoff Touchdown run.
