In a game where running back DeeAndre Torres would once again be the focal point and driving force behind the Eagle Offense, the Eagles struck on their first drive with a one yard run to pay dirt to put the Burnt Orange and White up 7-0 after the Jose Riojas PAT.

Then it was the Eagle Defense who came up big on the Rams’ second possession when Eagle Linebacker David Kypuros soared into the cool Del Rio breeze and picked off Ram Quarterback JD Torres and ran it into the end zone for six, 14-0 Eagles.

After taking over the ball again in the second quarter, Eagle Quarterback Richie Luna began to orchestrate the Air Raid Offense we’ve grown accustomed to seeing, incorporating his arsenal of weapons, almost all of which have been News Gram Players Of The Week like Albert Guevara, Norby Zavala, Riojas and Rey Rey Mendoza. But it would be Torres who would cap off the drive with a big run up the middle of the Ram Defense 20-0 after the blocked PAT.

The Eagle Defense would strike once again with an interception by Joshua Monsivais, giving the Eagles the ball again with just under a minute to go in the half. A 23 yard field goal by Riojas would give the Eagles a 23-0 lead that they would take into the locker room at the half.

The Eagles would score again on a reverse to Jose Riojas to cap off the scoring and the Jack-Of-All-Trades would put the pigskin through the uprights himself to give the Eagles the 30-0 victory.

It was a dominating performance by the Eagles in all phases of the game that gives them the confidence they will need to begin their trek into the State Playoffs this weekend against the McAllen Bulldogs right here in Eagle Pass at the Foster-Veterans Memorial Stadium, an apropos venue to celebrate this accomplishment in November, a month where we honor football coach, Cozel Foster, and the rest of our veterans who fought for the freedoms we have here today.
